@anomadsoul, Congratulations to you too because you've completed another contest successfully.
And in my opinion no matter how many participants are there, when it's regrading big event then for sure choice to make becomes difficult process.
And for sure through this Contest Economy you've spread really effective vibes regarding the SteemFest.
And whenever we see contests regarding particular event then for sure we see an essence of collaboration.
Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂
