Contest #2 saw many interesting entries and it was a difficult choice to make when it came to selecting a winner. After much consideration I have managed to select one winner for Contest #2. I've spent a lot of time going over every entry and have arrived at this decision after a lot of thought! The goal was also to get someone who hasn't experienced this event before.
So, without further ado
Congratulations @inquiringtimes on Winning the contest!
He seems to be an enterprising new member of the platform and seems to be doing some interesting work. You can read his nomination and his entry post in the comments of my contest post here! His work seems to well detailed and appreciated by the community and I feel he can contribute more to the platform from participating at SteemFest 2017
@inquiringtimes please connect with me on Steemit.Chat
Other notable entries that caught my attention were from @lifemovedbysteem, @virtualgrowth, @elear, @martibis and @gabchik's nominee @rossenpavlov. There were also other interesting entries and this is where I wish I could sponsor many more people to SteemFest.
That being said, I am contemplating hosting another contest and I will make an update about the same if I decide to go ahead with it. Currently I'm figuring out my own costs for my upcoming travels. So kindly stay tuned as I figure this out.
Irrespective of that, I look forward to meeting all of you who finally make it to SteemFest 2017 at Lisbon.
Meanwhile you are welcome to participate in the Steemit.Chat contest that I am running currently. You can join the contest channel by clicking here! Please check it out and participate in that to win SBDs.
SteemFest is going to be packed with some of the coolest members of our community. @roelandp has put in a great effort towards organising this incredible event and to support him Firepower Crew will be there as well. Win the ticket and come join us all for a great party with 300 people from across the globe! See you there!
@steemfest is less than a month away and you can visit the official ticket website for ticket purchases.

So much love and gratitude for all of the love and support!
Thank You So Much @FirePower for making this possible!
Thanks to @mikepm74 for "pushing this" on me, and rallying friends to the cause!
Thank you Steem Community, @dan, @ned, and all of you beautiful Steemizens!!!!!
I am so amazed by the outpouring of support on this and @quinneaker's contest!
Thank you to @roelandp and the team who is putting together Steem Fest.
This is such an amazing opportunity, and it's almost hard to believe that this is real. My life was very different only a few short months ago, before I joined Steemit. I will forever be grateful for the opportunities afforded here and the relationships I am developing. This is such a great platform that proves the Co-Operative Living Mindset, which I have believed in for so long, but can be hard to create in the "real" world.
Please check out this post I released this morning, an hour or so before this announcement was made! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Do you have your Elevator Pitch ready for SteemFest2?
Steem On to Steem Fest!
I am, so very much, looking forward to meeting you all at @steemfest !!!!!!!!!!!
and a BIIIIIIIG Shoutout to @discordiant, for being so kind and patient with me.
He taught me so many things, when we met, he was only a week or two newer than me, but he is responsible for my ability to get the information I needed to get off the ground, here.

Yes well all it takes is a couple popular posts and your ticket is covered. That was a big part of my intent with the contest was not only to fund a FREE ticket for someone but also get exposure for others who could use it. I am sure you got a lot more followers and votes since the ticket give away contests and that alone will help.
SteemON!

I mean it's not that easy for me to get popular posts, I'm still a tiny minnow floating around the pond, haha!
But the exposure has definitely been helping, thanks a lot for that! It seems more and more people are jumping aboard the Steemit Worldmap too, so that's a very cool thing to see!

Hi @firepower, I decided to make a contribution in my little way to SteemFest 2 through my Act of Creativity, but it got no publicity. I would appreciate you checking this out, and letting me know what you feel about it. Thank you as you do.
