In a few minutes, our first Steemit Writing contest will be closed. Results will be posted here as they are known.
At this time, it does look like we have more then 99 entries, so the prize fund for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will be doubled -- see the details here. Also, there are now more funds available for the judges!
Remember you can only submit one story and it must be submitted before the contest is closed Monday at exactly 2018-02-26 18:14 (UTC)
Thank you all for helping make this first contests such a grand event!

Each story submitted will be reviewed by at least 3 judges. They will not discuss their opinions with any other judge until the final tally is posted here.
Note: Do not submit any submissions to this post, they will not be accepted.
Contestants
It is likely that the judging of so many great articles will take quite some time, please be patient. You will receive comments as they judges work through each submission. Every article will be processed or we will let you know if there was an issue. If your article has not yet received any replies, then is simply means we have not yet evaluated it.
Judges
I will be performing multiple queries to ensure each submission has been reviewed. Please stay tuned for this update.
I would like to thank you for the effort you have put into helping this contest become such a success.
In reality, the promotional costs for the contest exceeded its return but just the same, I would like to compensate you all a little more.
So, each judge will be given $2.5 SBD one time + .1 SBD for each article evaluated. You may evaluate of course any and all submissions. The more the better! I hope this helps.
