What a fantastic adventure this week. Spotlight Open Media Network has gained 3 amazing new artists. @haleyaerith, @isaria and @aace234. We launched this contest not knowing the true reach that Spotlight would have and the champions behind these artists showed us that the Spotlight Entertainment Contest is solid in our roster of opportunities for steemit.
Before we announce the winner we'd like to go over how we tallied the votes as full disclosure is important to the steemit platform and our commitment to transparency.
- Users who voted for multiple submissions have been removed.
- Users who voted using bot accounts have been removed.
- Users who voted multiple times for the same account have been counted only once.
We'd like to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who found time to make a submission, and to those who was a champion for their favorite performer. Your hard work elevates these fantastic performers. We all thank you.
Official Count
1. @haleyaerith: 88
2. @isaria: 86
3. @aace234: 46
We'll be sending the delegation tomorrow afternoon when it comes available from our Sponsor @picokernel, the winner will hold the delegation for 7 days before we recall it back to begin the cool-down phase. As recalling delegate takes 1 week, we'll alternate parcels of delegation to ensure seamless operations. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

Hey @haleyaerith, congratulations. Great performance lol you earned it. I would just like to apologize for not getting the delegation done in a timely manor. I had to wait for a previous delegation to cancel (it takes 7 days) and timed it poorly. In the future these types of kinks will be worked out. Have a steemy week ;)

Fake contest is fake. Biased promotion. Rules not even followed for entry of winning video.
Do I have any proof of my allegations? You decide. I'm done with it.

@clayborn Please understand that this was our first contest. I'm sorry that you are upset, but understand that we will do better as time goes forward. The rules for entering the contest were as follows.
While Haley did not say "spotlight entertainment contest #1" she showed clear intent to enter the contest by saying "Spotlight contest number one", it wasn't possible for her to have prerecorded the entry. We made a judgement to accept Haley's entry as it satisfied our goals for verifying her videos originality
We saw that users from MSP were taking to the official post comments so we were trying to be accommodating for both styles even though the original post stated that you could only use votes inside your own submission comments. This alone would have put Isaria out of the top 3. So our flexibility went both ways.
In the future, we will not be flexible. We have already disqualified 2 writing submissions as they do not meet the requirements.
As for cheering for Haley, we also went to MSP and cheered for Isaria and Aace. We sincerely believe that everyone who made it into the top 3 deserved to win the prize.
For anyone reading this, I'm sorry if this first round has been frustrating and I hope as time goes on we can all help Spotlight evolve into something structured, fair, and accessible by all Steemians.
If you have any questions relating to ethics of fairness I'm happy to discuss it here or on Discord.

Dude just stop while you're behind. Changing your original reply where you admitted she didn't enter properly is making you look like a shill. If you're going to be part of whale circle jerks just own it. You know why they get people to do their dirty work? Because they don't want their reputations ruined.

I was thinking "Nah he doesn't want to argue over the fact that Haley didn't say "Entertainment" But apparently you do.
