Aww thanks! I'm glad you like the idea :-)
People come up with the most amazing stories for this contest, I'm always really impressed. It's awesome to read them all!
I just wish I could get some high upvoters interested in supporting it (thank you very much for the support by the way!). I can't really pay the price money myself in these uncertain times for me (Steemit is like my part-time job for now), so it's based on payout of the post. It varies a lot each week, but I haven't really figured out how to 'catch that whale' yet ;-)
Anyway, it's all good! Plenty of people run contests here, so I understand they can't all be supported! I think most contestants join in for the inspiration, practice and fun either way. We have some very consistant contestants! And the best thing is, a couple of them get visits from Curie each week too! No price money can beat that, right :D
