WINNERS ANNOUNCEMENT: STEEMIT IRON CHEF 2021 ACT 1 ROUND 09 - PINEAPPLE THEME !!! Congratulations Everyone !!! TOP 10 REWARDED WITH 67 STEEM AND LEAGUE POINTS EXTRA BONUS!!!

Hello Hello amazing foodies of the world of Steemit!

I know all real foodies of the platform eagerly wait for this announcement post from me each time a round ends...

Sometimes when I get busy at work, I tend to get late in completing the judging - but here I am today to make the winners announcement post of the 9th round which was based on PINEAPPLE!

TOP 10 REWARDED

In the celebration of reaching over 700 subscribers in Steemit Iron Chef Community, I decided to add some more STEEM in the prizes for round 09!!!

And hence, I also decided to reward the top 10 instead of the top 7, as we had some amazing entries and would be great if they all can get some support by curators around who might read this post!

67 STEEM to the top 10

I usually give away 25 STEEM per round...but this 9th one was really special on many terms - So here you go Iron Chefs, extra steem and league points for you!

Thanks for being a great support to our community!

Round 09 = 29 valid entries!

We finally ended round 09 with 29 entrants with couple of new comers- So welcome again everyone who just joined us!

I am very happy with the amount of participants and want to say this once again : In SIC we prefer QUALITY over QUANTITY!

Very Important Message

This is a clear message to all those who wish to enter SIC : I only give good points to those working hard, consistent in SIC, providing high quality photos, well detailed post, and awesome presentation, creative and supportive to others!

If every round it is the same people making effort sending top entries ... well well my dear friends ... they will be the ones getting rewards each week!

If your entry is low quality ... I will have no choice than to give out very low points to you! Once you discover your rankings, check out the top ranked ones and learn from their blogs. - I started like that actually...4yrs back!

NEGATIVITY IS NOT ALLOWED IN OUR COMMUNITY - MIND IT!
