Hey @luzcypher, that was actually on my request. I was manually reviewing and voting all posts, which I lost count but was a lot. Today my area is scheduled to have the power lines worked on so I will not have internet.
I wanted to stop entries so I could review and vote the remaining entries before losing internet entirely. I asked Bernie if I could do so, then he could review, pick his favorite and announce winners in a timely manner. He agreed and that is why I posted this comment.
I’m sorry it wasn’t as much time and many I’m sure would have liked, but this was all just sort of a idea of Bernie’s that we ran with. Maybe it’s something we can do in the future again (with more help to manually curate each one) and do it a bit better.
Due to the time demands on curating 30/40 posts, I can see why a time limit was put in place. I once ran a one hour contest with no notice and it worked pretty well!
The good thing is that I think the 'contest' was a positive thing, and there certainly seems like scope for more of the same. Perhaps the community could focus on a tag like #openmic next time?
I think a couple of things would be done slightly differently, but for the most part (as you can tell from the comments) this was a solid community building effort.
Have a good day in the sunshine, not jealous at all!

It's a great idea and I wanted to curate. Just wish I had seen it earlier. Did get to read some good posts here though. Keep up the good work.
All @llfarms and Bernie's work, I'm just providing a bit of moral support and a few token votes for the chief curator :)
