@steemphotography I certainly hope they are getting excited. I'd love to see more participants come and throw their hat into the ring and turn this contest into the premiere writing contest on Steemit. I have some thoughts about how to grow this out and begin creating a more long tail economy for writers here on Steemit, but one thing at a time.
As an aside, I'm proud to say after the awards are paid out to the winner and runner up this Wednesday, The Rhapsodist Writing Challenge will have awarded 50 SBDs in prize money since it started four weeks ago.
