That's a total of 1800 Steem Power for the Winners!!
I absolutely LOVED the entries and
the general support!
the general support!
I was thrilled with the response both from the entrants and the community in general. In the end there were eight entries, each one not only giving me a glimpse of who they actually are as a person. They also portrayed some of their personal experiences and an idea of how they help the LGBT+ community both within and without Steemit.
Some of my criteria to choose the winners included:
- the depth and substance of the post they entered
- the impact the Steem Power would have for the minnow
- potential benefits the winner would provide to the community
- and the entrants time and activity here on Steemit
With as difficult as it was to choose winners, I decided to collect together an additional 800 Steem Power to add to the prize pool!!
Enough rambling...let's Announce some Winners!!

Quick Announcement: #LGBT room is now open in Steemit.Chat
Up until now, we didn't actually have a public #LGBT room in Steemit.Chat. But this has now been fixed. It will be meant as a place for anybody to hangout, chat and share their LGBT related posts. (All promotion posts will have to have at least one LGBT related tag.) This channel is being moderated, already being headed up by @Ancapbarbie and @Saphhic. So feel free to hop in to say hello and share some of your posts.
Click HERE to enter the #LGBT room in Steemit.Chat.
During this next week you'll also be seeing the announcement of an LGBT+ discord community as well. I'll be slowly organizing more as we keep going along. You can find a bit of what I've got planned HERE and I'll be making more detailed announcements over time.

Oh wow! Thanks so much for spreading the love amongst all 8 of us! I think it's such a blessing to be a part of this community so early on in Steemit. I'm optimistic that there will be a really supportive and thriving community among us, just through this competition alone I've already started meeting some of the other candidates and definitely feel the camaraderie! #goteamgo
Surprise!! This is a big part of why I had to do that big powerup recently.
I'm pretty stoked with how well this went and can't wait to see what you all are able to find, do, etc.
The general energy and seeing so many people able to meet and help each other grow has been leaving me awestruck already! :)
No kidding! It must feel so rewarding being in your shoes and being able to get such an awesome initiative off the ground and up and running! We'll make you proud!
good stuff as usual @sykochica . Cant wait for all the great content to come.
Thank you! ...and I've been seeing some fantastic content in those tags already! I honestly wish I had more time available so I could already have some 'Top Posts' to really highlight them and make them easy to find. :)
I have noticed some interesting people as well. I look forward to more. I need to show this to some people I know.
Bravo. Extremely happy and proud for you. Keep up the good work and spreading the Steem power around. Sharing is indeed caring. May your storehouse overflow.

Congrats all! You deserve it! Can’t wait to see our community grow through this 😊 Special shout out to my amazing, talented wife @betterbeing who put her blood, sweat, and tears into her post. She really believes in the potential of the LGBT+ community here on steemit and she will do everything in her power to make our presence known, accepted, and rewarded accordingly.
Congrats to all the winners!
I’m so excited 😁😁😁 I cannot wait to put this to good use. Everyone, let’s collaborate soon on Discord or Steemit.Chat aghhhh.
This made my night and I’m going to try to go to sleep now 😴 Big days ahead! 🤩 Thanks again @sykochica for all you do to support the LGBT community here ❤️❤️❤️
I'm excited for you! When you found out, I swear I could hear the screams of joy from here! Lol
But you do deserve it..I've seen what you and your partner have done on here since you've both joined. Congratulations! :D
You did it!!!!!!! 😃😃😃😂 I cannot believe it. So proud to call you my sis in law! ❤️❤️
Wow Thank you very much @sykochica, I'm very humbled by opportunity to help and increase the visibility of great lgbt content and our fellow lgbt community members here on steemit.
:)
You deserve it! Now have fun...and as an added bonus, you likely won't be seeing any bandwidth issues!
Hi Sykochika .. first of all, I would like to congratulate you for the wonderful initiative! It is heartening to see your efforts as well as the encouraging response from readers! I already see your channel and purpose thriving with this! All the very best from me!
Secondly, you mentioned about bandwidth above. Now me being a newb, I have no idea what that is? I have seen it on steemd, however, it would be good to know what it really means/does?
Would appreciate your inputs around this!
Take care, all the very best and God bless!
Congratulations!!!
Thank you, I will do my best to put it to good use.
Thank you very much @sykochica and congratulations to the rest that got the delegation.
