I want to start with that this was a difficult decision and I took it very seriously because I know it means a lot to the people who entered the contest. Although I would love to just give every one of my finalists a ticket, I had to make a choice. Although I did say I would be giving two tickets away, that just wasn't going to work... so I'm making it three 😉 😱
Yes You Heard Right 3 Winners!
And yet by expanding it to 3 I still had a difficult time selecting so without further ado, the winners are:
@anomadsoul
I am determined to attend SteemFest2 no matter what! - But I need a bit of your help
Your story was inspiring and you really blew me away with your devotion and great attitude towards life! I am very happy to be awarding you with a ticket to STEEMFEST 2, its well deserved and if you do half of what you say you will, I will be honored to have help sponsor your determined restless nomad journey to STEEMFEST 2 👍 Cant wait to see you in Lisbon!
@teamhumble
Make Mine & @dayleeo dream come true
Lets start with the... here it goes.. honesty 😉 but seriously always a big plus in my book! I can see from your passion that you would 100% be a great addition to STEEMFEST 2! I would be honored to support your big endeavor by awarding you a ticket! That being said this will only be for one ticket, I thought hard about giving both of you and @dayleeo a ticket, but I had several other finalist and it was hard to exclude all of them. I also know that you both will be at STEEMFEST 2, there is no doubt in my mind! I didn't want to miss out in helping you guys close the loop 😀 ! Will be great to see you both in Lisbon!
@karensuestudios
❤️ Entry for BlueOrgy's Steemfest competition (My First DTube VIDEO! 📹) ❤️
You guys are very positive and I absolutely loved the video! You seem to have had a lot of fun making it and your attitude is just refreshing! I would love to see you both you and @acromott at STEEMFEST 2. Sadly I can not award you both a ticket, but I hope this doesn't deter you from making your way to Lisbon. I know you both would be a great addition and with that acroyoga class bring something unique to the table! I know that @saramiller, @everlove and the group would love you guys ;), maybe a duel class is in order?!? Hopefully see you both in Lisbon!!
☞ You guys truly made it a difficult decision with so many great entries into the contest and I'm sorry that I could not award you all a ticket! If you are one of those selected above please comment below (which you obviously will be doing anyway 😜) and we can make contact to figure out your current plan and the ticket logistics 👍
Other Finalists
Damn did they make it a tough choice! Thank you so much for you entries!

YAYYY @KARENSUESTUDIOS
EEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
😱 EEEKKKK 😜 love it!
I know how hard these kinds of things can be to run and put together. Much kudos to you sir. Thank you for putting this together and thanks for your contributions to the Steemit Community!
I do what I can! Thanks!
What a totally legendary thing to do @blueorgy
The generosity of many on this platform astounds me on a daily basis.
Good luck to the winners, you're gonna have a great time.
😏 Thanks!! "generosity of many on this platform astounds me" and me as well!
I can understand how difficult it must have been to choose a winner. Increasing the number of winners to 3 was a great move on your part. It is these kind of initiatives that make Steemit such a great community, and the best in the online world.
After all, where else can one get paid to post and also get free tickets to go to an international event!
thanks
Congratulations to the winners!! Hoping to meet you all in Lisbon and many many many thanks to @blueorgy for hosting this amazing contest in which the spirit of sharing and giving has been celebrated!
Steem on towards the Steemfest2 party:
well
i think your decision is right
yeah- all three are really very good in their own ways in steemit.com platform
:)
upvoted
I do think so myself 👍
Hey
Don't mind. buddy
thanks for sharing keep it up
your post is very useful, steady.
This is great news. Well done!
of course it's amazing buddy friend @blueorgy
Congratulations winners!
Very nice @blueorgy ...bless
Congrats to all the winners🎉🎊 @blueorgy im really praying that you organise another give away contest before the event in November. I'm very new to steemit and I see it's potential in helping a lot of citizens of lower income earning countries. I see a fair representation of Nigerians in this community but don't see a lot of Ghanaians(might be wrong). I have therefore decided to bring the gospel of steemit to my countrymen in Ghana.
I can't be a better preacher when I'm not completely initiated into the doctrines of steemit. This is why I would love another chance to win your giveaway contest and come interact with great minds at the top of the steemit food chain.
#steemitghana
Three tickets - wham! You are the man, @blueorgy! Very nice move!!! See you in Lisbon :-)
Hahaha love it!
oooh, niiice! :D congratulations to the winners! :D
Congrats to the winners. I'm so looking forward to being at Steemfest and meeting all these cool people. Thanks for doing this
Me too! Will be an epic time 🤠
I was cheering for @virtualgrowth! I hope I get to meet him anyways...
@blueorgy, you've been on steemit with me since over a year now. You are still doing big things. Good stuff man.....spreading joy. I'm just trying to keep up! :-)
I try my best anyway! 👍
I know how hard these kinds of things can be to run and put together. Much kudos to you sir. Thank you for putting this together and thanks for your contributions to the Steemit Community!
Did you just completely copy what @aggroed had to say? hmm interesting...

Jeeeeey, congrats @anomadsould ! You made it 😊😊😊
Congratulations @blueorgy!
Your post was mentioned in the hit parade in the following category:
@blueorgy you are awesome and there are obviously quite a few people who are even more grateful for you than I!
Wishing you the best, your karma is good!
I do love to keep my karma on the positive side 😎
A wise move!
An even better investment than crypto currency!
hahahaha
Wow you are into a lot of things - familiar with your great work on #steemitworldmap but obviously you do a lot more!
Visitors to #steemfest might find my 15 blogs on visiting Portugal of interest. They focus on winter long-stays in the Algarve from a Canadian perspective but have a lot of useful info about language, history, culture, etc. This one for example focuses on language:
https://steemit.com/travel/@brightongreg/portugal-6-talking-to-people
And who knows, looking at these posts might encourage some folks to travel outside Lisbon to see other parts of Portugal!
Awesome contest very generous!
Thank you! I do what I can, as often as I can.
Thanks for sharing dude. You always inspire me .
Dear @blueorgy
( awaits auto-response message... :) )
I recently published a blog listing and inviting Steemfest attendees to add a short 'brief' about themselves and a link to a blog (intro or Steemfest related). The goal is to gather a list of 'normal' attendees to potentially provide some connectivity/background before the event.
The blog has had nice feedback from the likes of @timcliff and @lukestokes and I would really appreciate if you could drop me a message (here or in the blog) with any details as per the above.
Thanks very much, and I shall see you at the Festival!
Asher
