It’s almost September and I haven’t announced the winners of the August Fair to Middlin’ contest yet! https://steemitimages.com/DQmfWe31FC4qzu47T5P61SEVt1aCYR4LZtbqApSjYitnrhh/12.png So, without further ado, the winners are: @deantonio @cdaveboyles23 @olivia08 Each of you will also be receiving 1 unit of Steem Basic Income (SBI) from @mermaidvampire! https://steemitimages.com/DQmfWe31FC4qzu47T5P61SEVt1aCYR4LZtbqApSjYitnrhh/12.png However, anyone who entered this contest is a winner, especially because I had some *generous supporters add to the sweet pot of prizes! Due to these generous benefactors, the winners and the remaining contestants (just below) will also receive 1 Steem and 1 Plankton token each! @chrismadcboy2016@powermom https://steemitimages.com/DQmbWhJBne93aN8qqgiqWKa95YQHgYCApDUqgVz7ttBE9CT/27.png #### Recap of August Challenge and Prizes: #### Just to refresh your memory, here is a recap of the contest rules and prices: ##### You Need to Do! ##### As some of you already know, my father was a very special person in my life, so in remembrance of my dad, the first challenge is to write about a special person in your life! Tell me about someone you both love and admire, and tell me why you feel that way! #### Additional Rules: #### 1 - Your entry must be no less than 300 words. 2 – Please do not go over the maximum of 800 words! 3 – Post must be easily accessed and read from the Steemit platform. #### More Details: #### - Bounty for the August Better Than Fair to Middlin’ is 6 Steem. - Contest deadline is right up until payout for this announcement post. - I will pick my top three favorites from all the entries, so it is subjective! #### Bonus Prizes: #### - First Prize – 3 Steem - Second Prize – 2 Steem and 1 Plankton - Third Prize – 1 Steem and 2 PAL Caveat - You must be a Plankton token owner to be eligible for a bonus prize! (If you are not a Plankton HODLer, you can purchase Plankton in Steem Engine.) https://steemitimages.com/DQmbWhJBne93aN8qqgiqWKa95YQHgYCApDUqgVz7ttBE9CT/27.png #### Update on the Bounty #### @steem-bounty was having some pre-hardfork hiccups and the 6 Steem I sent to them at the time of the post was lost in cyberspace. BTW, @steem-bounty, where is my refund? https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYxr1q4pp47bqWCiWCdnYXEmSgFd52znyrPGxfX1FcJq4/cricket.pngimages are from Pixabay! Under normal operating conditions, when you send Steem to @steem-bounty, they automatically send everyone that commented on your post a portion of the bounty, based on the percentage of upvote(s) their comment(s) received. And, it works beautifully! Since I promised a bounty distribution, I am still manually dividing and disbursing a portion of the bounty to anyone that commented on the contest post. My math won’t be as elegant and, as you can see, I work much slower than @steem-bounty! But, it is important for me to follow through with my promise. https://steemitimages.com/DQmaBAzgo6W8jb91ZYxuCMdZoDVadmop8ToWZL6GYenZRWa/2.png ### September Contest Teaser ### Like I said before, I want to keep things interesting, so the challenges (and the prizes) will be a bit different each month. September will focus on visual art, so be thinking about the art you see on Steemit! @thekittygirl has already contributed 6 additional Steem to the prize pool! More prizes will be announced at the time of the contest post at the “middlin’” of the month! https://steemitimages.com/DQmY7vVAciTShFznfy2Fj9fd5Pn4iPYZz7fp2VyXEraoaAK/10.png ### Special Shoutout to the Contest Supporters! ### I want to thank the generous supporters that added prizes to this contest. Thank you on behalf of myself and the winners! ##### @veryspider – 6 Steem ##### ##### @mermaidvampire – 3 units of SBI ##### ##### @otom – 50 Plankton! (using 5 for the month of August) ##### https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTcCpfvt3qLPFsggEY8xLMG3iJQs4ERkqU9xHaUy5cLQZ/Plankton%20footer.gifgif by gerber! ![Power House Creatives Logos FINAL_float.png](https://steemitimages.com/350x250/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmd3ZgczWd8wzLLhwBJ9WkGqf46kfizUHL9qq5zV4Z56gZ/Power%20House%20Creatives%20Logos%20FINAL_float.png)
