Thanks for the response!

I haven't thought of giving away actual items, I figured most wouldn't want to give out their personal details for winning something on Steemit. How has participation in such contests worked out for you?

I am very much a give back and pay-it-forward type of individual myself, so I do plan on continuing contests. At the moment I'm unsure of what their subject matter will be, but as of right now they're more for my learning than anything.
