Thanks for taking much time to articulate you article and suggestions toward the just concluded award contest all I can say for now is big congratulations to the winners.

We hoping for the best next time.

About how steemit community did the counting I couldn't gather much fact about the counting.

I wish steemit team can explain how they did their final verdict for selecting the winners maybe It was base on merit from the board choosing the winners, although just stating my thoughts.
