RE: Intrepreneur's first Community Writers' Contest of the year, Sponsored by SPInvest!

That is an excellent point, and I thank you very much for your feedback!
We will definitely need to make a special note expanding on this, as there are a few ways in which all contestants will be able to benefit from entering, including those who do not place in the top 5.

All contest entries will be reviewed & upvoted in accordance with our community guidelines appreciation model, so as to avoid spam entries being considered & unduly appreciated.
Posts that fail to meet the bare minimum for 50-100% upvotes by official accounts, will be reimbursed their entry fee, advised on what can be done to improve their article & encouraged to re-enter once they have.

My 100% upvote is worth 13-14 INT atm, and there are currently fourteen (14) Intrepreneur team members in total.
Ofc, while there is no guarantee that any/all entries will receive fourteen 100% official/team member upvotes,
I can guarantee at least (2) from myself & @crystalhuman on each valid contest entry, which would more than cover that contestant's entry fee with some surplus.

Additionally, as mentioned in our writers' contest format overview, contestants will also be featured in our weekly follow-up posts, thereby increasing their opportunity for further post rewards.

I hope this answer has been able to clarify things a bit better and do let us know if you have any more questions or suggestions!
Namaste 🙏
