Congratulations to all the contestants, and I'm excited to announce the winners of the STEEMFEST MINNOW CONTEST!!!
All four contestants were at a 3 point point spread 66, 65, 64. It was an incredibly tight battle. @aggroed voted early to make sure they wouldn't be influenced by incoming votes. These scores were arrived at by 14 judges, a cost comparison, and audience votes. One additional voter on the previous post could have swayed it. Hell even just a single point of difference by any of the judges could have altered the outcome!
Coming in tied for third place with a score of 66
@dinoo and @lucashunter
@lucashunter expressed interest in working with young people to start businesses, join steemit, and work to end poverty.
@dinoo expressed interest in upping the amount of hope in the world through Steemit based charity projects.
Both will receive an autovote on their posts from @msp-lovebot and will each receive 50 SBD.

Coming in second place with a score of 65
@varunsangwan. He was interested in free quality education and expanding the Indian community. He even caught an @ned resteem. He's a great MSP member, and was so close! He'll get 150 SBD and will piece together a trip soon we're sure!
He'll also be receiving a steady upvote from @msp-lovebot.

Winner with a score of 64
@siersod! Promising to work on the interface for steemit and help with the ongoing food crisis in Venezuela Siersod pulls it together for the extremely narrow win!!!
Congratulations! @siersod receives the full amount of steem/sbd to hit his budget with a touch more. Turns out he's a dual national with Portugal but never been. He'll get his shot now! Have a great time at STEEMFEST!!!
He'll be receiving a huge amount of steem and a steady vote from @msp-lovebot!

Its great that people like us want to change that and make things better.
If I can help in anyway, never hesitate to ask.

Congratulation !
WOHA, that was close. What a great contest! Amazing people in the last round. Looks like we’re all on the same page. Would love to meet everyone at STEEMFEST², I’m sure we can profit from each other and join forces for similar goals. @lucashunter, already following since a while. @varunsangwan, greetings to India! Haven’t been there since over a year now. @siersod, man, what a win!! Looking forward to your proposed improvements, it will benefit many.
Thank you so much for the price @aggroed and everyone else who contributed! First installment for the STEEMFEST² trip expenses savings ; ) For now I power it up for more impact on voting power. The SBD/STEEM ratio is just too good right now. When surfing around at Steemit, there is so many good causes and people I'd love to support, it's a shame I can only give like 30cents per vote. That definitely needs to increase. The @msp-lovebot is way cool. New strategy: Make a blog post every hour and those votes will pay for the rest of the trip, lol ; )
See you around everyone! Drop by @dinoo occasionally, I’d be honored to have you as my guest. I will have some announcements in the future where I’m looking for a programmer for some stuff I’d not be able to do by myself. Thanks!
