RE: $45 SBD Steemit Writing Contest. The more writers the bigger the prize fund! -- Results will be posted here.

in #steemit7 years ago

I have judged a total of 82 entries. I believe there are not any entries that remain not judged and I am still to judge (except one NSFW entry which I hope anyone of the other judges can look out into).If there is any other entry I have left out, I'll be happy to judge it. Now, I have to fine filter some quality entries to decide my top 3.

Sort:  

We have not heard from @renalexis with her top 5 authors yet, would any of you other judges know how to contact her? Thank you, @irishgirl

OK, that is great.

I'm probably going to be requesting the top 5 as soon as we verify judging is complete.

Please read this article on how to send secure memos.

I have received all submissions from all judges, you can now post them and make them public by replying to this latest post.

Please post the author and a link to their story.

Will you have time to be a judge in the final round? This will involve a new review of each of the semi-finalist entries and rating them using the same scoring methods you have already established for yourself. There are less than 35 total semi-finalist that will need to be judged.

Yes, for sure. I can spare my time for that. I wouldn't want to leave a special competition like this halfway down the road after all those people putting in a great effort. Between, the idea of having a final round is very good. I was actually a bit concerned as to how the final winners are chosen as each judge is not reviewing every entry and might miss the best entries. Now , this makes it much easier.

Thanks for all @bycoleman

Thank you brother, very happy to know your going to be with us till the end :)

Yes, the finals round was always in the design and even more needed with so many great entries.

Blessings!

Hi @bycoleman,

I have had a few doubts and dilemmas while putting up my top five entries which is why I had to delay my submission. If you can help me through it, it will be greatly helpful as some of those submissions which I have come across are really close.

1.Does the entry strictly have to be about incidents that happened in the person's life?

  1. Or can it be about their thoughts and visions, their philosophies in life etc?
    3.should articles that emphasize on divine interventions or influence in life have a place in the list?

@nihalmaz -- Thank you for your questions!

Per the contest description, the article should not be fictional.

  • Does the entry strictly have to be about incidents that happened in the person's life?

The contest guidelines are to help shape the theme, but not mandate the subject matter. If you feel the author or someone they know was affected emotionally or otherwise by the subject of their submission, then this meets this standard and you may accept it as qualified.

  • Or can it be about their thoughts and visions, their philosophies in life etc?

Yes, if this is something that has influence or effected them, it is about them.

  • should articles that emphasize on divine interventions or influence in life have a place in the list?

Again, if these occurrences or interventions have been a factor in their life or someone they know, it more than qualifies.
