RE: We Are Thinking Of Making Some Changes To The Rewards For Steemit Open Mic

the prestigious prize of 150 Steem for winning Openmic is huge and it's one of the largest ongoing contest prizes that I know of on Steemit! So that is something to consider.
75 for 2nd and 3rd is also a pretty sweet prize worthy of the effort it probably takes to do some of these entries. When I look back, some of my entries took more than 20 hours to get together lol.

I also know the lack of rewards pain well having run Steemit Sandwich Contest for a measly 15 weeks.
Initially, I only had 2 prizes, that wasn't enough and even with 3 (currently) I still don't think it's enough lol... too many worthy entries come in and I feel so terrible that I can't reward them through the contest that I end up dishing out my own SBD sometimes to show them love.
So if that's similar to the feelings amongst all the judges, then perhaps including a 4th and 5th prize is the next step in Openmic evolution and a good idea...

I'm pretty sure this didn't help at all hahah ;)
