Congrats Everyone!

The first ever Manipulation Station Contest had some great entries to it, but there can only be three winners. We will be changing things up a bit on how the contest runs, but that will be explained after I let you know who won. So without further ado, here are the top entries for the Weird Dog theme.

First Place and winning 50 Hive - @doctorcrypto

Second Place and winning 30 Hive - @tarazkp

Third Place and winning 20 Hive - @piotrgrafik

Thank you all for participating in the first contest. There were some really fun entries and I can't wait to see how this contest grows in the future.

Now speaking of the future of the contest, @acidyo and I were talking about how engagement and how winners can be chosen for each contest, and we have decided that we want the community to get involved in the voting process.

So after each contest ends, we will make a post with the top 5 that we choose. Then we it will be up to the community to decide the top winners from there.

We will be making a comment with each individual entry in that post, and we will set the beneficiary for the comment to the individual that made that entry. Then we will chose the top 3 comments with the most individual votes, NOT VOTE WEIGHT, and then we will vote those comments with OCDB and possibly other accounts.

Remember, the comments will have beneficiary set to the person that made the entry, and we will not be taking anything from them.

We are also looking for ways to include the ENGAGE token, so commenting on the posts and letting the creators of the entry know what you liked about their entry is highly encouraged.

We want these contests to be fun and interactive. Not just another post that is put up and forgotten about until payout.

Let us know in the comments if you have any suggestions or questions about the contest as we move forward.

Thanks again to everyone that participated in this first one. The next contest will be announced soon!
