I’ve had a perma-smile on my face for the last week thanks to all of you who participated in my first contest. An extra special thank you goes to the people who resteemed and helped get the word out, and to @johndoer123 for his donation of 0.5 SBD to add to the prize pool! In particular, I want to thank @davemccoy for adding extra incentive to bring in more newbies, and @abh12345, @limabeing, @amariespeaks, @c0ff33a, and @mariannewest for helping to pull in contestants from their respective communities. That list isn’t exhaustive—those are just a few who come to mind! There have been so many kind words from so many kind people, I’ve learned about many communities and initiatives, and I’ve made many new friends. (Selfish motivation: accomplished!)
The Contestants and the Prize Pool
35 people submitted entries to the contest, with a prize pool of
20.060 STEEM (@curie reward) + 0.392 STEEM (@johndoer123’s donation) + 2.498 STEEM (from upvotes on the contest announcement) + 0.05 STEEM (from me to round it off) = which means I have 23 #steembasicincome shares to give away to 35 very deserving winners.
Unless…
You do a crazy thing and double everyone up so that both halves of the enrollment go to participants instead of one to the enrollee. So that’s what I’m going to do!
Congratulations, everyone gets a share of #steembasicincome! Much thanks to the brains behind @steembasicincome for helping me figure this out logistically and letting me know I can add a colon between two names to give away both shares.
Congratulations to our winners: @mliz35 @adewararilwan @cuppcake @akbarsanjani @hermannsol @sparkesy43 @chiknows @ydraz @thaiships @father2b @kiwijuice3 @chineyes @perkyeunice @rolexxy @ossjay @iexplore @welcomewagon @curatorcat @motordrive @enforcer48 @mmo-mmo @cheekah @redheadpei @mumma-monza @smylie2005 @doomsdaychassis @leeart @briancourteau @snook @soyrosa @mariannewest @bengy @wordymouth @wizardave @rentmoney Enjoy your lifetime of free upvotes! :D

Thankyou for your generosity in running an absolutely amazing contest. Congratulations to all the worthy winners.
Thank you for entering!
Congratulations to all the winners. It was a really cool contest. I wish I had time to enter too.
Random fact: My sister's cat's name is Mushu too.
Really! I named her Mushu because it means “night” in Akkadian and because I thought it was just an adorable thing to call an animal but everyone thinks I named her after the food. Which is fine too. Do you know why her sister named her that?
I don't know why she named her that. I don't think it's because of the night meaning. That Mushu is a tortoise shell.
oops answered from my other account. This is @nikema
Yeah, I doubt it. Not too many people know random vocabulary in millennia old languages. But it’s still a pretty adorable name if I may say so myself.
Wow, you are A.W.E.S.O.M.E.
Your creativity with that extra generosity is simply a great, enhanced level of uber positivity!
Aw, shucks!
That is so sweet of you!!! Thank you so much!! I am sure everyone will appreciate this so much!! and I am hoping that everyone will sponsor you as well!
That would be a nice fulfillment of the sharing spirit!!
Maybe! I've won a couple of SBI memberships so I think this brings me to 14. Will always happily accept more shares though. ;) Honestly though, having so many new followers and friends (which, to be fair, is partially from the freewrite contest) totally makes it worth it. This site is all about paying it forward, I've learned.
It really is and make it 15 :)
Thanks so much for your generosity and the opportunity to take part in this awesome contest, @malloryblythe. I'm having a great time meeting great people here on steemit which is something I didn't expect and had no idea it would happen. Very happy newbie here :)
Yeah, I had no idea it was going to be such a social experience myself. It's been good. :)
Congratulations to all the winners! And when a kind thing for you to do by doubling it up! I'm so glad that I was able to help. If you need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. I hope your weekend was good. And this coming week is even better. ☺
Fingers crossed! And same to you. :)
Thank you for your sponsorship of this contest and welcoming me with a friendly smile. I look forward to a long friendship.
Likewise!
Hmmm. Not sure that last comment posted... But congratulations to everyone and a big thanks for running the contest!
Thanks malloryblythe.
Your first contest was one of the best i've seen here. What a great kick-off.
Congratulations to all my fellow winners. We all deserved it. Great efforts guys and to all who supported us, i say THANK YOU.
Ok, this is starting to sound like a best man speech at a wedding so I’m going to have to leave it there.
KEEP STEEMINGThank you so much @malloryblythe. I have been no stop raving about this contest through discord, comments,reply's and chat. Best contest I entered so far. I speak for us all when I say, what a kind person you really are and we wish you the best of luck on your endeavours.
That's so kind of you, thank you so much for helping to get the word out!
God am soooooo happy to see this. Thank you so much @malloryblythe. May the Good lord continue to blesss you.
I am so happy to have made you so happy! Totally worth the STEEM. :)

I try! Thank you so much for supporting this!
Oh crap, you got me with a black cat photos on curator cat... soo cute...hi mushu! Glad you are doing this stuff @malloryblythe keep it up! ;)
Very generous of you.
Thank you for my first ever share in #steembasicincome
Honored to be your first sponsor!
How outstandingly generous of you, and credit where it is due you came up with an outstanding idea that pulled many communities to you. And that is something important we can all learn from here, while everyone struggles to gain visibility for their posts you took yourself viral with your generosity - and I do hope for you it will actually turn out to be a wise investment that will see you keep growing on here.
Almost forgot, the picture of your cat is awesome - what a position to be in!
#thealliance
And to think, it was all because I couldn't decide on a single prompt! Hahaha.
Thank you so much for your support and for helping to get the word out!
Mushu does that every time I leave my apartment to go to work. It KILLS me every time. She's well known in my building for pulling ridiculous acrobatics in my bedroom window. Sometimes I'm in my apartment and I hear people outside tapping on it while she puts on a show for them. I love her to pieces.
Thanks for an awesome contest... AND for making everyone a winner! That's very clever, I had no idea you could set it up like that, very clever.
There really are a lot of awesome people on Steemit, and lots of opportunities for us newbies!
=^..^=
Technically I don't think you could... I asked @steembasicincome directly and they told me to put the colon in so they could manually adjust. Otherwise I would have just sent over the STEEM to friends who had entered so they could set up the sponsorship directly. Very happy that SBI gave me an easier solution :)
I'm guessing it's a win-win for them, too: They get a group of new people into the program who'll go around and do more word of mouth promotion for them. Works well for everyone involved!
=^..^=
Congrats to everyone! And a special congrats and appreciation to @malloryblythe for her first contest and her giving ways! KUDOS!
Wow... This is so much amazing. Thank you for making us winner. I'm so grateful. Thank you for being very kind and selfless... 😍😍😘😘😘😘😘😘😘 Thank you @malloryblethe @davemccoy @beeyou and others for your contributions too. 🙌🙌
That is awesome. You are the best. Thank you for putting on a fantastic contest. Everything about it was great.
Thank you so very much and you are a STAR!!!
Your heart is so full and what you did was incredible!! <3
What a pleasant surprise!
Congratulations to everyone! :D
thank you. do i need to do anything
Nope! You were surprise entered in this contest by your wife 🙂
my babyloooo. Thank you so much both of you
do i get upvoted auto as i did a new post
Yes, but it may take a couple days for it to kick in. The voter will show up as sbi plus some number (e.g. sbi1, sbi2, sbi3, etc.)
thank you so much for putting this on. I really appreciate it. Can I ask if anyone has got a vote from SBI on this yet or are they still setting up the newest vote pool?
I'm not sure. I've been getting SBI votes but I don't know if they're from the old shares or if they include the new ones. Haven't gotten a notification either way.
aghhhhhhhhhhh! I keep forgetting that GINA doesn't give me notifications for Welcome Wagon... only for dreemsteem! :)
I was thinking hmmmm i wonder whatever happened to that contest! hehehee
THANK YOU for doing this!!!! and THANK YOU for being patient with my very slow reply! hehehe
We appreciate it - and our newbies appreciated it as well :) I even think @ydraz made it over here to win one as well!!! (so exciting!) Thank you @snook for telling us about the contest!!! :)
Since this is past its payout (because I'm a silly person...) please accept this tip!
@tipu send tip please :)
Yes, I did, @dreemsteem. I'm pretty sure I found it through @welcomewagon just before or after you kindly took me on :) One of my first happy experiences of steemit awesomeness.
hehehehee so glad!!!! and yay for more SBI!!! :)
