The deadline has been reached and the entries are in.

A lot of events in this life can leave us scarred, and here a few our fellow steemians have received over the years.

I created this contest for many reasons, but here are just a few:

• It gives others who may be having a hard time coming up with a post idea a good idea for a post.
• It encourages interaction and sharing.
• It offers potential payouts from the contest, plus the entry posts have their own potential payouts.
• It gets the names of the users who enter a little more publicity.

NOW, HERE ARE THE ENTRIES:

---

ENTRY 1 from @robyneggs

---

ENTRY 2 from @xanoxt

---

ENTRY 3 from @loveon

---

The good news is that with only three entries, everyone is a winner (1 First Place winner will get 50% of the SBD from the 1st payout and each Runner Up will get 25% of the same.)

Since none of these entry posts made more than a few when they were posted, this is good news for all that entered. Also, I would highly recommend that you check out the entry posts I linked above, as they are some incredible and interesting stories. I would upvote them all again if I could.

When you upvote this post, you add to the final payout of the prize pack for these entries. So far, the Winner will get about $6 SBD and each Runner Up will get about $3 SBD, so let's get these folks a little more for their effort.

If you have a scar, and a story to go along with it, think about entering.

The second season of the SCAR STORY CONTEST is going on now, and here are the rules:

• Take a picture of your scar with the words “SCAR STORY CONTEST” written nearby to verify.

• Post the picture of the scar.

• Use only "G" rated scars, as I hope to have the family help decide who the winners are.

• Share the story of how you got the scar.

• Tag your post #scarstorycontest and whatever other tags you feel are appropriate.

• Wait and win! (hopefully)

Season 2 of the SCAR STORY CONTEST WILL RUN UNTIL October 8th at midnight, CST.

---

Also, this will be my last week running the Tattoo Story Contest, so I'd suggest that you enter.

@meesterboom, @pharnal, @dariafarux, & @lscottphotos are already entered, who wants to give them some competition?

@girlbeforemirror will be taking it over next week, so follow her for more details.
