Check out these incredible contest posts!
This wasn't easy to judge!
Round of applause for all our contestants
Last week we asked for you to share your thoughts about Steem Monsters in a post while using various resources to help add some quality to your formatting and style.
The posts have been rolling in through the week for the contest and the time has come for us to choose the three winners. It has not been easy to choose, the standard of content is very impressive!
We told you all that the posts will be judged on their style, uniqueness, and the effort it took to create. Are you ready to see the results?
Taking home the bronze... @tamala
In her post, she brought the resources together nicely. @Tamala answers the questions with honesty and uses the formatting techniques to incorporate the artwork in her post very well.
It was also great to see the div pull function being used at the start of the post to show her collection of cards neatly alongside the text.
Make sure you head over to the post and check out some of @tamala's thoughts about the project. I'm sure she'd appreciate feedback and discussion!
Our silver medal goes to... @ironshield
One of two posts that was published in the form of an interview. The simplicity and elegance of @ironshield's post sealed the deal for me (although it would of been cool to see the Defender of Truth avatar centered at the top).
It's always healthy to have interviews with yourself from time-to-time.
The conversational writing style makes the post easy to read and the additional questions round out the post nicely.
Running away with the gold... @mandelsage
I don't think anyone can dispute the winner here. Every single box was ticked in this post by @mandelsage. The formatting is on point, the questions are answered well and in depth, and the sigils he created take unique to the next level.
The number one aspect of the Steem Monsters project that really tickles me is that it is yet another example of how wonderfully versatile the Steem blockchain is.
@Mandelsage has created five separate sigils for the elements in Steem Monsters. 6 days of creating and working hard at the artwork has really paid off as the finished products look incredible. The captions below each sigil bring some pleasant commentary to the post as well.
He also shares the creative process of the sigils with us, giving detailed close-up images of the mandalas. They're available for the community to use in their own posts as well!
There was an amazing selection of posts that were published and sent over for us to judge. Like I said at the top of the post, it was very hard to decide who the winners were.
I've decided to reward everybody who entered the competition because of the amount of effort that was put in by all. Unfortunately, there won't be anymore gold foils given out... Sorry!
Brilliant post by @tsnaks about their thoughts on the project and the community.
An insight into @stever82's experience in the TCG world alongside his thoughts about Steem Monsters.
@monchhchi23's use of the artwork is amazing and she accompanies the formatting well with her Steem Monsters experiences.
Huge effort with has been put into this post by @hashcash as he shares with us how he stumbled onto the game.
Very well presented post by @steamdan with some brilliant questions and answers to top it off!
Our second interview post in the contest, this one also has some brilliant answers and thoughts about the project and the community.
Some awesome answers here by @ange.nkuru, very nicely formatted with the artwork!
Huge thank you!
