I can see You are judging based on wrong information, the 3000 steem was Not for any writing contest. It was for steemjet untalented contests
The same steem was sent to @steemjetnewbies to run the untalented contest which, @mbj and our judging team conducted for close to a month check @steemjetnewbies post for details.

We ran the contest on @steemjetnewbies since it was the account with more delegation then as @steemjetcontests had cashed out. The other part of the steem was used to compensate the team of judges for their precious time and effort to do well.

Did you not pay your judges when you were given 2000 steem to run a musical contests?

Yes the judges too deserves to be rewarded just like you did as time=money
Please next time seek correct information before you judge anybody, do not act like a newbie on steemjet

Thanks bro
