➥Winner's Announcement ♨︎ blueorgy's ☞ STEEMFEST 2 ◇ Ticket Giveaway

in #steemfest2-giveaway7 years ago (edited)

I want to start with that this was a difficult decision and I took it very seriously because I know it means a lot to the people who entered the contest. Although I would love to just give every one of my finalists a ticket, I had to make a choice. Although I did say I would be giving two tickets away, that just wasn't going to work... so I'm making it three 😉 😱

I know how hard these kinds of things can be to run and put together. Much kudos to you sir. Thank you for putting this together and thanks for your contributions to the Steemit Community!

I do what I can! Thanks!


The generosity of many on this platform astounds me on a daily basis.
Good luck to the winners, you're gonna have a great time.What a totally legendary thing to do @blueorgy

giphy-1.gif

😏 Thanks!! "generosity of many on this platform astounds me" and me as well!

I can understand how difficult it must have been to choose a winner. Increasing the number of winners to 3 was a great move on your part. It is these kind of initiatives that make Steemit such a great community, and the best in the online world.

After all, where else can one get paid to post and also get free tickets to go to an international event!

thanks

Congratulations to the winners!! Hoping to meet you all in Lisbon and many many many thanks to @blueorgy for hosting this amazing contest in which the spirit of sharing and giving has been celebrated!

Steem on towards the Steemfest2 party:

of course it's amazing buddy friend @blueorgy

Congratulations winners!

Very nice @blueorgy ...bless


I can't be a better preacher when I'm not completely initiated into the doctrines of steemit. This is why I would love another chance to win your giveaway contest and come interact with great minds at the top of the steemit food chain.
Congrats to all the winners🎉🎊 @blueorgy im really praying that you organise another give away contest before the event in November. I'm very new to steemit and I see it's potential in helping a lot of citizens of lower income earning countries. I see a fair representation of Nigerians in this community but don't see a lot of Ghanaians(might be wrong). I have therefore decided to bring the gospel of steemit to my countrymen in Ghana. #steemitghana

Three tickets - wham! You are the man, @blueorgy! Very nice move!!! See you in Lisbon :-)

oooh, niiice! :D congratulations to the winners! :D

Congrats to the winners. I'm so looking forward to being at Steemfest and meeting all these cool people. Thanks for doing this

Me too! Will be an epic time 🤠

I was cheering for @virtualgrowth! I hope I get to meet him anyways...

@blueorgy, you've been on steemit with me since over a year now. You are still doing big things. Good stuff man.....spreading joy. I'm just trying to keep up! :-)

I try my best anyway! 👍

I know how hard these kinds of things can be to run and put together. Much kudos to you sir. Thank you for putting this together and thanks for your contributions to the Steemit Community!

@blueorgy you are awesome and there are obviously quite a few people who are even more grateful for you than I!

A wise move!

An even better investment than crypto currency!

Wow you are into a lot of things - familiar with your great work on #steemitworldmap but obviously you do a lot more!

Visitors to #steemfest might find my 15 blogs on visiting Portugal of interest. They focus on winter long-stays in the Algarve from a Canadian perspective but have a lot of useful info about language, history, culture, etc. This one for example focuses on language:

And who knows, looking at these posts might encourage some folks to travel outside Lisbon to see other parts of Portugal!

Awesome contest very generous!

Thank you! I do what I can, as often as I can.

Thanks for sharing dude. You always inspire me .
