This contest was one of the most fun I had while browsing the entries. Some hobbies sounded interesting, others I got to relate with them because I practiced them at some point in my life, there were those that I had never heard of before and of course, some that got my and @eveuncovered interest from the very beginning.
First of all, thank you, it is amazing to see more than 400 entries and I wish I could reward all of you. I was able to vote on a lot of post with a low percentage vote, @ocd curators found around 15 entries worth of nominating, some others were voted by curie and other entries were even voted by some whales so, overall, I think the entries got a nice reward on average.
I am very happy to see this level of engagement in the @blocktrade´s sponsored contest, especially because some of the entries got selected to be featured by @ocd and some got curated by other curation groups like @curie... this speaks lots about the quality of the entries. We are getting better at posting my friends and that is the whole purpose of this contests... to give you some nice subjects to write about and you making amazing posts and then it is only win/win from there.
I wanted to vote higher on the entries but to be honest my Voting power is limited and I could only vote in more or less 150 entries, I hope you understand if I couldn´t vote on yours it wasn´t on purpose. Remember the dates to join the contest were until March 26th so if you made your post later than that I couldn´t choose it as a winner.
I want to thank veruncovered for helping me choose some of the winners. You rock Eve, thank you! Don´t forget to follow her!
Remember this contests are only possible thanks to @blocktrades and their delegation towards me, so if you want to show your support, vote for them as witness here.
The Winners
I wish I could reward more people here but there so many entries and we had to choose wisely. You have to know that even if you didn´t win, 90% of the posts deserved to get some rewards and that is why I voted in most entries. In the end it just depended on the personal criteria of the judges so please don´t be dissappointed if your post didn´t get selected, there will be more contests sponsored by @blocktrades during this year. Those posts with an already high reward didnt got chosen, I hope you can understand the idea of rewarding more underrated authors.
Without any special order, I give you 20 posts that won 5 SBD each:

Me siento muy feliz por haber quedado en la lista de los 20 ganadores, este tipo de concursos son los que nos alientan a seguir e inspirarnos a escribir y montar post de buena calidad. Que sigas creciendo y los éxitos sigan viniendo a ti @anomadsoul!
Congratulations to all the winners. Thanks @anomadsoul and @blocktrades for the support and the initiation of these contests that motivate me to continue writing, I was not one of the winners, but with the mere fact of having read my publication, I feel happy and grateful.
Thank you for this contest @anomadsoul, @blocktrades and @eveuncovered. It was a great feeling to write about our hobbies and it's true that we can tell more about it since it is our passion. Looking forward for more.. 😊
Congrats to all the winners, and @maverickinvictus you've done it again man. Can you tell me your secrets? Lol. Congrats man!
Just on my roadtrip i see you mentioning me @anomadsoul! So big thanks for this contest, and hooray for all the winners. Maybe an idea to create a podium for the others like a worth to mention in a few postings?
Muchas gracias, yo que estaba triste porque no habías leído mi publicación je je.
@anomadsoul excelente concurso, pude conocer a varios amigos más a fondo tras estas publicaciones.
Me voy feliz por estar entre los 20 seleccionados :)
Saludos y feliz noche.

¡¡¡TE AMO ERIIIIIIIC!!!
Gracias, muchas gracias de verdad, gracias por seleccionarme <3 no me imaginé entre los ganadores, si supieras que mi secreto fue escribirlo 5h antes de que culminara el concurso jajajaja.
¡Gracias otra vez! GRACIAS @BLOCKTRADES Y MUCHAS GRACIAS ¡@Eveuncovered!

I LOVE U ERIIICCCC!!!!
Thank you, thank you so much, thank you for chosing me <3 i didn't imagine being among the winners, if only you knew my secret was to write it 5 hours before the contest was over hahahaha.
Again, thank you, THANKS @BLOCKTRADES AND THANK YOU SO MUCH @Eveuncovered!
LOL love the gif HAHA kermit
hello friend @anomadsoul I want to thank you for the initiative of this great contest, I had fun telling my hobby, do not imagine being among the finalists, grateful for having taken me into account. My total thanks to @blocktrades for allowing this to take place. Thank you. My congratulations to all who participated and we could read other interesting hobbies. Congratulations.!!
Muchas gracias por hacer concursos como estos, son incentivos perfectos para los que aun somos pequeños en la plataforma, me siento muy feliz por ser uno de los ganadores y ya decidí que hare un pequeño Power Up con el premio
Saludos
Thank you so much for this opportunity! It was nice to share what my hobby is and indeed happy to see a lot of great posts that got seen by curation guilds which speaks of the quality and care people have in submitting entries to your contest.
Thank you @anomadsoul for this and @blocktrades for making it possible.
I didn't get an upvote on my entry at all.
To me, i believe that i did well but in every contest there must be a winner and a looser and its just normal but just like you said, upvote encourages people to partake an put more effort in subsequent ones but even if its cents, i didn't get that encouragement upvote on my own entry as it wasn't easy to have written a 1000+ words for a contest.
Meanwhile, big congratulations to the winners.
Great choices! I love when a contest get's these kind of results. I think this may have been the most resteemed post I have ever seen. Kudo's too the winners, which was everyone who entered. We all got to write about what we love.
Woohoooo, lots of thanks! Didn't expect, that I could be one of the winners.... :D
Lots of thanks to everyone... @eveuncoverd, @blocktrades and of course you @anomadsoul!
Congrats to all the other winners! There were so many interesting posts and hobbies... it was amazing to read about what others like to do in their freetime.
Looking forward to the next contest ;)
Congratulations to all the winners. @anomadsoul up you man! This is amazing. Kudos to @blocktrades.
@eurogee of @euronation community
Yeeeeey!
First of all, I would like to thank you @anomadsoul for organizing this awesome contest. Not only did it encourage me to think about what my hobby means to me, but I've also managed to see some of the amazing things people do around the world.
Big thumbs up for @blocktrades for making this possible and interesting with prizes.
I must say I am both humbled and grateful to be listed among all these cool people.
So, thank you @anomadsou and @eveuncovered for the vote ;)
And finally, congrats to all the other winners and a bow of respect to all the other contestants
I won, yay!! Thank you @anomadsoul for a lovely contest that gave me some fond memories. I am getting my read on and I am starting this night with Collins' Moonstone, purportedly the first detective novel. 😂
@eveuncovered thank you for reading my piece and finding merit in its contents. I deeply appreciate this. Peace
Congratulations to all winners
Thanks to @blocktrades for the delegation and to @anomadsoul for putting this up.

Omg!! Thank you so much! Can't wait for the next contest!! :)
Congratulation to all of the winners...
Wooho! Glad to see you @escapist and @maverickinvictus on the list! Congratulations to all winners and thank you @anomadsoul / @eveuncovered / @blocktrades for running this challenging contest.
I was so surprised to see it and to be honest I had felt bummed out that my post was not curated and was feeling that i don't know quality anymore and thus was having all these feeling that I suck and all( low self-esteem issues)
So being chosen as one of the winners out of a lot of the contestants really placed some confidence back to my heart.
I get it that I am not the best or the most talented person here but I do my best. I want to continually improve and day in and day out I write to try to do better.
So thank you man for this shout out.
Bro, never let someone else's opinion define your passion and your own opinion and shape the value of it. Also, it's not a bad thing to be wrong sometimes.
What I have learned over the years is that I should give more of a less fuck about what others think and stop asking for validation from others. This way I can stay true to myself, which also means to respect every other opinion, good or bad. Because that opinion is just based on their own experiences as well. You've set the bar high for yourself, meaning you're too hard on yourself. Which can be a good thing for motivation, but never underestimate yourself, and be thankful that you aren't there yet where you want to be. It would be boring as fuck otherwise, right?
How many times have you found yourself being right about others based on your own gut feeling? Probably many times, and that is a talent many people do not have. I can only say that you could (and should) rely more on your own gut feeling for that matter and stick with that plan and value (unless you have been wrong about people xD).
You got a great sense, righteous and judgemental. It can't be too hard to start believing you actually have a talent yourself, but it might take some time. I've been there my entire life and it consumed me entirely, living in a bubble that wasn't good enough. Yet it was so refreshing when I found out about my own talents.
<3
Thanks Ruben as I still have a lot of personal demons to slay that always plague my head with a lot of self doubt and low self-esteem issues.
I know it is not good to compare my strengths and talents with other people but its gets harder and harder to do that as i rise up. I have seen how I was able to develop better and better posts with formatting and word choices and even how I edit my final work.
But somehow I am at a slump right now and don't know how to advance. In running I have reached my wall and this is the time if I would either sit down and end the race or for me to find my 2nd wind and run towards the goal.
Community building helps a bit but I feel there should be more that I can personally do for myself. I don't man but I am hanging on and still steeming.
Congratulations to the winners !!! Even though I did not win I will continue to participate in the contest held by @anomadsoul
