Hi Everyone,
Above is the meme from @blackempror, the winner of Meme Contest #4
It’s time to announce the results of Meme Contest #5.
Sorry about the delay. There has been problems with voting again. I think this is the third time now. The problems relate to voting and participants cheating to win the competition. I have closely inspected voters and found a very strong correlation between following, followers and votes. I can understand a small overlap but when someone receives over 20 votes from followers, it is highly unlikely to be a coincidence.
It states very clearly in the rules that voting is to be based on the meme and not the creator of the meme. I go to great efforts to randomise the memes and keep creators anonymous. The votes for this contest cannot be used to determine a winner. I am now left with the problem of determining the winner. I still have 8 SBD to giveaway for this contest. I have thought about disqualifying participants but the problem seems almost throughout. I do not want to award full prize money to anyone involved in cheating.
Since we have a top 8. The fairest way to resolve this problem for this contest is give each of the top 8, 1 SBD. Now all of you can feel like winners but gain very little financially.
For the next meme contest, I will not use the voting system, I am thinking of getting judges instead. I think this will be fairer.
Prizes
@blackempror receives 1 SBD
@yinkaknl receives 1 SBD
@the-fundraiser receives 1 SBD
@hillaryoki receives 1 SBD
@rjunaid12 receives 1 SBD
@emanueld receives 1 SBD
@toyinbaruba receives 1 SBD
@abayomi55 receives 1 SBD
I would like to thank all the creators of the memes for putting in their time and effort. See the list of participants below.

I will have another meme contest later this month.
I would like to request a recount of the votes.
Ok sure. I will look into it.
Some vote enter after deadline and some account double vote.
After 2 hours of deadline, votes are still coming in which are not suppose to be counted. Since there are rules
Thank you for notifying me. I will do a recount. It might take a few days to sort out the legitimate votes but I want a correct vote tally and winners.
All this doesn't really matter , some people are just being disturbed by network , and some people love your contest , that they still voted even after the closing time , so you shouldn't hurt their feelings by not counting there votes......just give a warning next contest....
Congratulations! for the winners....☺
Thanks for the contest, really appreciate it. If we can have 10 of you on this platform, i think steemit will be a grate adventure to be.
@blackempror

I want to use this medium to appreciate @spectrumecons for the excellent work in putting up a contest like this. I understand your sincerity of purpose for the delay in announcing the result.
Thanks for the SBD
