šŸŽµ Santa Qs Is Coming To Town šŸŽ„šŸŽ…

Hey everyone! Itā€™s Q here, the mascot for the Your Top 3 Contest, but you can call me Santa Qs for this final occasion before me and my 4 trusty reindeer go on a little break in 2021 šŸ˜‰

However, thereā€™s still the small matter of revealing this monthā€™s, quarterā€™s and YEARā€™s champions from what has been an Oscar Winning contest on the HIVE blockchain if I do say so myself!

In the last 21 months, there have been nearly 700 nominations from you awesome Top 3ers who got involved, sharing your stories of the various topics and Iā€™ve loved reading every one of them! Some of you received great support from curation guilds and although Iā€™ve handed out over $300 of prizes to you, the main thing was always about the engagement and social camaraderie between everyone and I feel this was a roaring success!

So thank you to everyone who took part and embraced the spirit of the contest, you are all winners! Now itā€™s time to reach into my special Santa Qs ā€œSaQ of Goodiesā€ and see who has been a good little boy or girl this year with a run down of all the leagues!

Monthly Contest Results

As this is an open door contest, I like to use dpoll to let ALL of YOU vote for your choices from the nominations that have come in from those who entered. I then assign points to those voting positions and add up the three nominations for each contestant to make a final league table.

And here is the final league table:

1st place @justclickindiva

Link to post - Prize $1.50

2nd place @wiseagent

Link to post - Prize $3.50

@chekohler

Link to post Prize $2.19 each

Topic Choice Bonus

In Decemberā€™s contest, the topic was picked by @wiseagent so I have sent you 1 HIVE to say thank you.

Referral Bonus

This month, @wiseagent referred @ramsesuchiha to the contest so I have sent you 1 HIVE as part of our referral bonus! Thank you!

Congratulations to the winners for the excellent nominations and winning this monthā€™s contest round! Be sure to check your wallets as the prize payouts will be with you shortly!

Q4 League Winners

My personal ā€œQā€™s Leagueā€ that runs every quarter involves some revolutionary mathematics to give points to those who finished outside the Top 3 in the regular monthly contest. These points build up each month and contribute to that quarterā€™s points total.

Those who finish in the Top 3 of the Quarterly Leagues will get HBD prizes too. So donā€™t despair if you didnā€™t win the big monthly prizes, thereā€™s a chance to win with the quarterly leagues!

And so, with this being the end of Q4, itā€™s time to announce the winners! Hereā€™s how the final Q4 League looks like:

1st place @traciyork - $0.753


2nd place @chekohler - $0.753


3rd place @fionasfavourites - $0.164

Congratulations to the top 3 finishers. It was a really close contest but your consistency paid off.

Championā€™s League Winners

Ah, the Champions League, grandest of them all! This is what everyone has been looking forward to at the end of the year, where all the points accumulated from each month throughout the calendar year have been totted up with HBD prizes given to those that finish in the Top 3.

Iā€™d argue most importantly though, you get to be crowned Your Top 3 Champion and have the ultimate bragging rights! Hereā€™s how the final Champions League looks at the end of 2020:

1st place @wiseagent - $8.001


2nd place @justclickindiva - $4.109


3rd place @dksart - $0.611

Congratulations to the Your Top 3 Champions!

Farewell

Well, my wallet is completely cleaned out now so no S-Q-ooge McDuck here! What a way to wrap up this contest with a huge giveaway of goodies but all that leaves me to say is thank you for being with me on this epic journey and being involved in the contest.

We may meet again soon! Until then, happy holidays and cheers to a new year!

Phew! What a ride it's been over the last 21 months! Thank you so much to everyone who got involved in that time, you kept us all busy along with Q with your personal stories from your choices! It's been great to get to know you!

Oh, I am so going to miss Q and the 4-weekly (plus) banter about my entry. I never did it for the winnings. That there were some was the cherry on the top. ThankQ to the team @nickyhavey,@plantstoplanks, @cheese4ead and @foxyspirit for wonderful times. It may be an ending, but it's not really ...

Thanks again and see you all around šŸ¤—

Thanks so much for being involved with it all Fiona! We've loved reading your Fiona Treatment posts but you really embraced the spirit of Q, seems he left his mark on you as he did all of us!

See you around šŸ˜ƒ

Indeed he did. I shall miss him.

Wow, I didn't think I could go the distance with everything that has happened this year offline. But I'm so happy that I did take the time to participate. I appreciate you and your group of sponsors and supporters that made this monthly contest an exciting one on Hive. I appreciate all you have done.

Congratulations to ALL who participated throughout the year. And special congratulations to the Top 3 League Winners for each quarter and the whole of 2020.

It's sad to see you leaving us, though. I know there are other great adventures ahead. Take care, stay safe, and have a happy holiday and the new year.

Congrats everyone! And thanks to all who entered at one point or another for all the fun over the last year and a half+. From one blockchain to another, all the ups and downs on-chain and off, we hope we provided at least a small amount of joy each month.

And if nothing else, you know how to use a spreadsheet now šŸ˜œ

It was quite a journey in that 21 months, can't believe what we managed to achieve in that time and still had a lot of fun along the way! I want some Q merch now haha

Haaaaa so I just arrived and the party's over?!?!....šŸ™„
Typical. Mum always said I'd be late for my own FUNeral...šŸ™„

Haha, well perhaps it's just over for now @chocolatescorpi. Never know what the future will hold.

Well it can only be better than 2020 can't it (Fingers crossed...)
