šµ Santa Qs Is Coming To Town šš
Hey everyone! Itās Q here, the mascot for the Your Top 3 Contest, but you can call me Santa Qs for this final occasion before me and my 4 trusty reindeer go on a little break in 2021 š
However, thereās still the small matter of revealing this monthās, quarterās and YEARās champions from what has been an Oscar Winning contest on the HIVE blockchain if I do say so myself!
In the last 21 months, there have been nearly 700 nominations from you awesome Top 3ers who got involved, sharing your stories of the various topics and Iāve loved reading every one of them! Some of you received great support from curation guilds and although Iāve handed out over $300 of prizes to you, the main thing was always about the engagement and social camaraderie between everyone and I feel this was a roaring success!
So thank you to everyone who took part and embraced the spirit of the contest, you are all winners! Now itās time to reach into my special Santa Qs āSaQ of Goodiesā and see who has been a good little boy or girl this year with a run down of all the leagues!
Monthly Contest Results
As this is an open door contest, I like to use dpoll to let ALL of YOU vote for your choices from the nominations that have come in from those who entered. I then assign points to those voting positions and add up the three nominations for each contestant to make a final league table.
And here is the final league table:
1st place @justclickindiva
Link to post - Prize $1.502nd place @wiseagent
Link to post - Prize $3.50@chekohler
Link to post Prize $2.19 eachTopic Choice Bonus
In Decemberās contest, the topic was picked by @wiseagent so I have sent you 1 HIVE to say thank you.Referral Bonus
This month, @wiseagent referred @ramsesuchiha to the contest so I have sent you 1 HIVE as part of our referral bonus! Thank you!Q4 League Winners
My personal āQās Leagueā that runs every quarter involves some revolutionary mathematics to give points to those who finished outside the Top 3 in the regular monthly contest. These points build up each month and contribute to that quarterās points total.
Those who finish in the Top 3 of the Quarterly Leagues will get HBD prizes too. So donāt despair if you didnāt win the big monthly prizes, thereās a chance to win with the quarterly leagues!
And so, with this being the end of Q4, itās time to announce the winners! Hereās how the final Q4 League looks like:
1st place @traciyork - $0.753
2nd place @chekohler - $0.753
3rd place @fionasfavourites - $0.164
Championās League Winners
Ah, the Champions League, grandest of them all! This is what everyone has been looking forward to at the end of the year, where all the points accumulated from each month throughout the calendar year have been totted up with HBD prizes given to those that finish in the Top 3.
Iād argue most importantly though, you get to be crowned Your Top 3 Champion and have the ultimate bragging rights! Hereās how the final Champions League looks at the end of 2020:
1st place @wiseagent - $8.001
2nd place @justclickindiva - $4.109
3rd place @dksart - $0.611
Congratulations to the Your Top 3 Champions!
Farewell
Well, my wallet is completely cleaned out now so no S-Q-ooge McDuck here! What a way to wrap up this contest with a huge giveaway of goodies but all that leaves me to say is thank you for being with me on this epic journey and being involved in the contest.
We may meet again soon! Until then, happy holidays and cheers to a new year!

Phew! What a ride it's been over the last 21 months! Thank you so much to everyone who got involved in that time, you kept us all busy along with Q with your personal stories from your choices! It's been great to get to know you!
@cheese4ead @foxyspirit @plantstoplanks - it's been an absolute blast to do this with you all - it didn't even feel like work and we're friends for life so we'll definitely stay in contact!

Oh, I am so going to miss Q and the 4-weekly (plus) banter about my entry. I never did it for the winnings. That there were some was the cherry on the top. ThankQ to the team @nickyhavey,@plantstoplanks, @cheese4ead and @foxyspirit for wonderful times. It may be an ending, but it's not really ...
Thanks again and see you all around š¤
Thanks so much for being involved with it all Fiona! We've loved reading your Fiona Treatment posts but you really embraced the spirit of Q, seems he left his mark on you as he did all of us!
See you around š
Indeed he did. I shall miss him.

Wow, I didn't think I could go the distance with everything that has happened this year offline. But I'm so happy that I did take the time to participate. I appreciate you and your group of sponsors and supporters that made this monthly contest an exciting one on Hive. I appreciate all you have done.
Congratulations to ALL who participated throughout the year. And special congratulations to the Top 3 League Winners for each quarter and the whole of 2020.
It's sad to see you leaving us, though. I know there are other great adventures ahead. Take care, stay safe, and have a happy holiday and the new year.
Thanks a lot for your epic involvement all the way through this year and you really earned that 2nd place finish in the Champions League!
Have a great Christmas and here's to a more positive 2021!

Congrats everyone! And thanks to all who entered at one point or another for all the fun over the last year and a half+. From one blockchain to another, all the ups and downs on-chain and off, we hope we provided at least a small amount of joy each month.
And if nothing else, you know how to use a spreadsheet now š
It was quite a journey in that 21 months, can't believe what we managed to achieve in that time and still had a lot of fun along the way! I want some Q merch now haha
Haaaaa so I just arrived and the party's over?!?!....š
Typical. Mum always said I'd be late for my own FUNeral...š
Haha, well perhaps it's just over for now @chocolatescorpi. Never know what the future will hold.
Well it can only be better than 2020 can't it (Fingers crossed...)
