Nearly a week ago I held a "contest" for people with low account values to provide a link of just anything and provided it was in English I would 100% upvote it. I think it was a success and I got to read a bunch of interesting stuff and ended up following a few more folks in the meantime.

I got a decent turnout this time but was a little disappointed that we never even achieved the 20 entries I had hoped for. Oh well, I read all of what was submitted and i upvoted all of your posts 100% too. I ended up following a few people in the process as well. There's some really good content out there and I wish you all the best on getting greater exposure for your work.
Anyway, while there were a lot of good entries / links provided, I had to select just one as the "winner"
@brewcitygardener
took this from your FB, hope that is ok
I find most of his (or is it their?) work to be really interesting because I am so damn awful at gardening. The soil in all the places I have lived tends to be quite bad so the idea of growing plants out of bails of hay is very intriguing to me and based on the steps that I am shown by Opie (i hope i spelled that right) it looks like anyone can manage to get this going in their own yard.
here is the post in question, although there are MANY of them
One of the main things I like is the production value that goes into these videos and they are long enough to give you all the the details but also not too long. Basically i never find myself saying "friggin....get on with it already!"
I have resteemed your article, am following you, and I think those of you that don't follow @brewcitygardener already should consider doing so as well. It is the sort of informative content that I think this platform desperately needs more of. Very well-done. Oh, i'm gonna send you some STEEM as well. Keep an eye out for that.
Thanks to everyone else that entered and unless anyone objects, I am going to start having these every week or so. Even if you don't win, you still get an decent upvote and I hope that is at least appreciated.
Oh, sweet!!
Hey, I really appreciate it Gooddream!
It can be really tough to get noticed in this massive ecosystem. It's such a great feeling to get recognized for the hard work. The average video takes about 6-8 hours from filming to editing so it's wonderful to get noticed.
It's actually just me producing the content. However, I refer to "we" because of all the wonderful support from my wife and family. We are all a team like that.
I'm blessed.
It's truly my pleasure to show off my garden and teach at the same time. It's a labor of love and my true passion. I can only hope to be able to garden and create content exclusively some day. That would be a dream come true.
Anyway, thanks again and if you ever have any questions for suggestions please feel free to get with me.
Take care,
-Oppe

I always miss this opportunity..congrats to the winner...My time will come.
Congrats to the winner. I just wanted to stop in and say that. I just got back from the weekend and it looks like I have a ton of stuff to catch up on from you!
Thanks for highlighting Steem newcomers. It really does encourage people to stay and build a good community.
I think people low on SP are not able to find most help and contests. I know I never did, no matter how many hours I spent reading. Yesterday over 12 hours and I find most content very disappointing.

isn't there a section dedicated specifically to contests?
I assume the tag #contest is?
