WINNERS| Sndbox Summer Camp: Travel, Food & Homesteading Quest

[anomadsoul]

The first Quest was a big success. Thanks to everyone who joined!

@guyfawkes4-20 main concern was that we might be getting too many entries; my main concern was that we might not get enough. As it turns out, the difficulty level of this Quest was perfect because we had 27 completed Quests regardin Travel, Food and Homesteading, which is around the number of participants we were hoping to get.

Browsing through the week the sndboxquest tag was quite refreshing and we got to know each and every one of you a bit more while you posted each step of the quest.

You are trully amazing Steemians and we are thrilled with the posts you made. We already knew the decision was going to be difficult but we didn´t expect it to be almost impossible.

The truth is, the Travel, Food and Homesteading Quest is only the first of at least 5 contests. From these contests we expect to get at least 50 people to be eligibile to do the Final Quest, and then join the Summer Camp so, as you can imagine, we have to decide, as every Quest finishes, who gets to be eligible to do the final Quest.

If you don´t remember the Summer Camp process, here it is:

---

1. A Steemian must finish one of the various SndboxQuests to be eligible to join the Final Quest.
2. Every Steemian who finished and was selected to do the Final Quest, must finish it fulfilling all the requirements to be eligible to be part of the Summer Camp.
3. Some of the Steemians who finish the Final Quest, will then proceed to be part of the SndboxSummerCamp. Througout the Summer camp, every member will receive support, guidance and advice from the @sndbox team. Sndbox is the most amazing project incubator in the Steemcosystem, so this Summer Camp is serious business.
4. After the summer camp, the top of the class will form part of the @sndbox cohort 2, and will get support, advice and guidance throughout all the second semester of 2018.

As you can see, this is a long term project and, based on the entries you guys made, and according to the @sndbox vision @voronoi and @hansikhouse have for @sndbox, we selected these Steemians to go to the next phase and be able to join the Final Quest:

Without any particular order, these are the Steemians who can join the Final Quest, scheduled for late April.

_{Edit: There was a Final Comp that didn´t show up in the sndboxsummercamp tag due to a glitch in the system but after seeing the post, we decided to include the last Steemian on the list.}

To all of those who didn´t win: Your entries, all of them were amazing and we wish we could pick all of you but it was not possible, we have a limit for the Summer Camp and that is why we are doing a final Quest where not everyone will be picked. There will be other Quests and perhaps you have some skills to participate in one of them, do not despair, your time will come.

The next Quest will be about Photography and Filmmaking and it will be posted this week, be on the lookout!

We want to thank the @sndbox team, especially @hansikhouse and @voronoi for everything. Also a big shoutout to those sndboxers who were part of this Quest while letting us borrow their Blog posts for the participants to analyze: Travel: @Martibis, @World-Travel-Pro, @teachblogger, @Dontstopmenow; Food: @Gringalicious, @Howtostartablog, @thegalavantgirl; Homesteading: @bearone, @critic-on.

[maverickinvictus]

Such an honor to be part of it!! I had some reservations but I'm glad I went out of my limits and did the challenge!

I'm happy to see fellow Promo-mentors @raj808 and @evecab moving to the final round! They are awesome people who will be a great asset in sndbox.

To the rest that made it this round! You are all awesome! Let's do this!

[raj808]

Thanks for the congrats Maverick and right back at you brother. I'm really happy to see everyone who got through to the next round. Especially made up you made it through buddy :-)

[wanderlass]

Let's do this!

[wanderlass]

Thank you soooo much! I'm so happy to be included here. I feel so underserving and the others are all so amazing. I'm so glad for the opportunity. I did enjoy it and learned to focus on this challenge. Like the others here, I'm also nervous for the next quest but I'm excited as to what the next challenge will be.

Congratulations to all the winners and to all who joined. I saw the other entries and all were of great quality! Happy to see @maverickinvictus and @travelling-two here who I've met before this quest. Looking forward to get to know the rest :)

[maverickinvictus]

It's because you are awesome and I know how hard it was for you to shoot that video in a mall!

Let's go to the next challenge!

[wanderlass]

Thank you @maverickinvictus! :D

[travelling-two]

Wow! Just got this news now as Becca is writing her post and Sam is wondering through replies and saw one mention that the results are out!
It's great to see you have made it too @wanderlass! We feel so honoured to get the chance to be in the final quest and we don't want to let anyone down. We'll give 200% for whatever it is.

✈️👫

[wanderlass]

Congratulations! I feel so honoured too. To 200%! :)

[raj808]

Thanks @anomadsoul + @guyfawkes4-20 for running the sndboxsummercamp quests. I am absolutely made up to have got through to the penultimate quest and would like to congratulate everyone who got through and also everyone who took part. It was a great quest for pushing up writing levels, blogging skills etc. I learnt new techniques and had to revisit old knowledge that I had thought was long forgotten. It was a lot of fun but also reminded me what a writing deadline is all about 😉 Not leaving it last minute lol

Big up's to SandBox, can't wait for this summer camp and further quests, I shall be reading and curating the further quests 🙂

[fivefiveeleven]

WOOOOW can't believe I make it to the final, I;m so happy about it, the 10hs spent on the last day to get the entries totally worth it lol, can't wait to the next photography challenge :)
Thanks again @sndbox and all the people working behind this.

[mountainjewel]

Thank you so much guys 🙏 you’ve got a beautiful thing going here and I think it’s apparent we want to be a part of it! Congrats to everyone else too! Those challenges were fun and already helped us to grow! Thank you. Excited and a little nervous for the final Quest, but we’ll have fun with it. Blessings & a huge thank you to @anomadsoul & @guyfawkes4-20 for holding this Quest & making space for all of us to share & hone our skills 💕

[anna-mi]

I am very happy! Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. Now I hope, that I will be able pass final quest.

[travelgirl]

Thanks so much guys for setting this all up and going through all the posts as I know it is not an easy task. Can't wait for the next task but also nervous at the same time. And congrats to all the other Steemians :)

[davinsh]

congratulations @wanderlass, @maverickinvictus and @travelling-two. The experience was an amazing one, I may not get the spot but seeing your names already made me glad. Thank you @anomadsoul and @guyfawkes4-20 for the wonderful experience.

[maverickinvictus]

There are other challenges that will be coming up and I know that you can do this! You are a great writer and an awesome person so looking forward seeing your name in the next challenge!

[wanderlass]

The quest itself was a learning experience and to go through it was fulfilling. You did a great job! Watch out for the next quests, you can still join.

[travelling-two]

Thank you @davinsh for your congratulations! We're sad that you didn't get to make it through. Yet, as @wanderlass has said there are four more opportunities to make it to the final quest!
We are sure you managed to learn and enjoy the experience as we all did. We hope the result hasn't dampened your mood. Remember to keep at it and you can only get better with experience! 😊

✈️👫

[golddeejay]

Big congratulations to the finalists.

[travelling-two]

You gave us a scare there as we scrolled down that list veryyyyy slowly! Hahaha!

Now, the Oscar speech! Thank you @sndbox, @anomadsoul and last but not least @guyfawkes4-20 for hosting this quest and believing we were worthy. Were you watching the same video as we were? 🤔 (Wait for laughs) Truly it is such an honour to be selected to go through to the final quest and we won't let you down by giving the final quest our best shot! We're not doing it for us, well sort of, but for those who gave this first quest a go, but fell at the final hurdle. We won't forget about you. We're doing this for all the Steemians who believe in us and for all the Steemians that need a help in hand, we hope we can give that to you in the future! Pay it forward with your support.

(Someone in the crowd: "Get off the stage")

Finally, congratulations to all the other finalists who will continue this journey with us! All deserved a spot in the final quest! Our very own travelling Filipinos @wanderlass and @maverickinvictus. Our Australian accent Chinese Travel girl (@travelgirl) and the new Steemians that we just met through this quest: @fivefiveeleven, @evecab, @anna-mi, @raj808, @amymya and @mountainjewel! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[misomaniac]

Congratulations to the winners! I wish you a good time in the sommercamp :)

But I have to say that I'm also a little sad, like everyone else who didn't get into it, I think. I have put a lot of time and effort into it in the last week (but who didn't :D)... But still it was a "challenge", so there are winners and no winners^^
But thanks for the chance and maybe I'll try out photography... I think this will be the only category where I could have another chance...? :D
It would be so nice to have a wider reach, who knows what else is coming up!

Anyways, thanks for the upvote! Would it mybe be possible to get constructive criticism? Then maybe I could do better. Or were the others just better? :D I'm not giving up! @anomadsoul

[mdyousuf]

very good !

[mdyousuf]

We are sure you managed to learn and enjoy the experience as we all did. We hope the result hasn't dampened your mood.plz upvote

[arifmunandar72]

Wow! Congratulations to all the winners. I recognize some of those names and am very happy to see them succeed here!

[joythewanderer]

Congrats the winners! I missed this contest because lack of internet in some countries, too bad. But I'm looking forward to see more of this contest and hopefully join the next one!

[tranquoccuong]

Great anomadsoul nice post.

I love your dashboard and how you're able to keep things organized so as to track your progress
I'm just curious how you're able to setup a pretty and decent dashboard for your activities on the Steem blockchain, Is this feature available to everyone? I'm still finding my way around here on Steemit
