Contest Winners: What Are Your Plans For The Holiday Season?

I was so much thrilled seeing the turnout of entries in the just concluded contest. When reading entries, I was so elated to know most of us have holiday plans. Some said they'll use this holiday to make serious money and also spend time with family and friends while Others said they'll use the holiday to travel to their villages and spend it there. The holiday is still ongoing.

Yesterday was one of the biggest and it wasn't surprising to see people go extremes because of their happiness. The contest on What are your plans for the holiday season? has finally come to an end. Want to know how well you performed? I'll announce the winners shortly after stating my observations.

In this contest, we had about 27 entries. All these entries were just so perfect. I felt like giving wins to all the participants in this contest. The markdown styles we used, pictures, quality of post and adherence to rules of these posts were top notch. Still not everyone did all these though and that's what disqualified many from becoming winners like @radleking, @bela90, @eveetim and some others. All participants did well but lacked one of this.

Let me point it out. The major things watched in a contest is your about to be different from others, the way your post is arranged, your ability to use pictures and convey ideas, engagements and adherence to rules.

• Some users used just a picture in a writeup of over 500 words. Use at least 2-3 online or original pictures in any contest you're participating. Just a picture isn't bad but doesn't add to the professionality of that post.

• Engagement matters too in a contest. Some of us would have won but because of engagements, we were dropped.

• Paragraphing is very essential as it prevents jam-packed contents.

Out of the 27 entries, only 3 were able to abide by these criteria. We all did excellently well but since it's a contest, only 3 winners are required.

The rewards have been sent in form of Steem power to these users as this is evident in this screenshot.

Looking forward to seeing you guys participate in the ongoing contests in this community. While your participate, make your entries exclusive, use good pictures and more than one, adhere to the rules and engage if you want to win.....
