Winner season 3, episode 1

With 20 votes cast, the Steemit community have spoken! Drums, please ... !

Winner of season 3 episode 1 is @onemedia with his awesome review about the amazing @d-vine! We've learnt so many aspects of @d-vine's career in his article. It's great to read about the woman behind the community member and awesome musician.

WATCH OUT! This gal will not only steal your heart, she's setting our world on fire as we speak...

Second place is for @yidneth with her article about @paintingangels. Such an awesome idea to @pechichemena #CoverASteemian contest with #BandsAboutBands! Yidneth's hauntingly thoughtful rendition of this song proves that she's a remarkably talented musician. With this article, she's also proven she's a great writer as well!

Third place is for @davenavarro with his article about @gjart. This Spaniard and frequent participant of this contest knows how to write a review: in-depth, thoughtful and a ton of additional information to entertain his readers. Hope to see you again next round man!

@d-vine @paintingangels and @gjart all received 0,85 SBD for being the direct objects of this episode :-)

All prizes will be transferred soon!
