Hey everyone. Hope all of you are good. I was supposed to announce the results of the fourth contest about 3 days back, but I was just so occupied with somethings and so overwhelmed with everything that I decided to go slow. Sorry about the delay guys. Let's just cut the chase and get to the point.
Winner of Contest #4
This time I did receive a lot of entries- 9 to be precise which is the maximum number of entries I have gotten so far on a contest. I believe this is because of the help by my good friend @mariannewest who included my contest in her list of contests in the #freewrite challenge posts she does. I am thankful to her and really happy with the response I received this time.
Since I received 9 entries, I had to do quite some digging to find the winner. I had quite a ball reading the entries- some of them were quite nice. I was confused between a few stories and finally I did happen to decide who the winner was. drumroll
Winner- @jadams2k18
Your story was lovely @jadams2k18 and I loved the concept. It was different, fresh and intriguing. Congratulations. All of you can read his/ her story here.
Besides this, I did like another story a lot! I am short on funds or else I'd give it more than 1SBD. So the 1SBD for honorable mention goes to: mapens
Good work by you too @mapens. I enjoyed your story a lot and it was really well written.
I have paid the prizes to the winners and am attaching a snapshot of my wallet just for proof.
I am going to take a break for a week or two as I am swamped with some personal stuff so won't be holding another contest for a little while, but I'll get back to it soon I promise. On another note, I am really happy to have finally convinced my mother to join Steemit and publish her first introductory post here so guys please show her some support and welcome her on board. She goes by the username @ghazala and honestly is a brilliant person inside out and I am not at all biased when I say that.
I have to rush off to do some more chores, mainly for my son so adios for now and I'll be back with a post tonight hopefully.
Love and light.
