Finally! The results are in!

First, a big THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the first @gogogadgetupvote contest! The results surpassed what I was expecting in a BIG way. And second, I want to thank everyone for their patience in waiting for the results! I sprained my ankle last week, and ended up getting pretty busy this weekend.
With the pleasantries out of the way, I won't keep you waiting any longer.

Here are the results for @gogogadget's Engagement Contest # 1: Tell Me Something I Don't Know!

(and the link to the original contest post, in case you are lost)

On a whim, I also decided to increase the SBD prizes!

The Prize for the "Most Interesting Fact" (decided by me) goes to:

@steemsausage!

@steemsausage commented with a video that had several interesting facts about koalas that I did not know, including one that STILL makes me laugh about burglars trying to steal animals from a zoo, and taking a crocodile because it was easier than stealing a koala! @steemsausage will receive 2 SBD for this submission!

The Prize for "Interacting With The Other Entrants" or "Leaving Meaningful Replies" goes to:

@greatvideos!

WOW! This user participated in EVERY category of the contest, and was pretty darn close to winning in more than just this category. The tallies were really close in this category and the next one! He really went above and beyond to participate in all parts of the contest, and I genuinely would like to thank him for his efforts! THANK YOU!!! My contest would not have been as successful without your ongoing participation, and I am truly grateful! I decided to increase this prize to 3 SBD!

Honorable Mentions

@skippyza, @prettykitten, @justinashby, @deeclown, @lavanya, @sammyb, @harmonicliving, and @simonluisi.

The comments and interaction from these users (and others) was exactly what I was looking for in this post! Thanks for chatting with me and the other entrants in the contest! It was the most fun I have had with a Steemit post yet!

The Prize for "Upvoting the Most Other Entries and Replies" goes to:

@deeclown!

This person also participated in every aspect of the contest, and gets the prize for Upvoting the most other comments and replies. It is an interesting proposition, Upvoting your competitors, and this person helped me prove that competition can be friendly and you can root for the other guy and still do well yourself! The prize in this category is also 3 SBD!

Honorable Mentions

This category was really close! The users who stood out the most Upvoting other comments were @simonluisi, @greatvideos, @prettykitten, @justinashby and @skippyza. They really helped me show some love to the comments section!

HUGE SHOUT OUTS go to

@surpassinggoogle and @ethandsmith

for helping me add value to the votes and reward everyone who participated! Thanks to their bigger votes (especially @surpassinggoogle) many of the entries received almost a dollar in rewards JUST FOR ENTERING!! Even without the other prizes, I would almost consider that a successful contest already!

The Last Prize is for the "Comment That Received The Most Upvotes" and goes to:

@justinashby!

The comment he posted about the strength of human hair received the most Upvotes out of all the comments in the post! He was also a huge contributor in the other categories of the contest! The prize for the most upvotes is 5 SBD.
Since @justinashby has more than 100 Steem, the Prize of 50 SP delegation for one month goes to @deeclown, who had the largest number of Upvotes on his entry and met the "less than 100 SP" criteria.

Prizes have been sent!

Thank you again to everyone who participated! Remember to Follow Me to keep up to date and to catch the next "Engagement Contest" (I will definitely be running more contests, this one was a blast!)

I'm @gogogadgetupvote and I'm Always On Duty!
