well the rewards tiers is set to reward everyone , 30% of the prize pool (6500 NEOXAG , value : 182 steem atm) will be distributed between all participator , so if you don't win you will get something too .. though if you think its a waste of time so i better suggest you to spend that time somewhere worthy place ;)

i just dislike that a huge reward tends to go to the same people who happen to win in numerous photography contests and happen to be professionals in the field. why reward them when they already get paid elsewhere over and over? they dont need encouragement in their craft.

i am not here only to rake in rewards, i am here to curate everyone, reward effort put in to learning and exploration, and notice people who dont already get noticed.

doing the math, participators would get maybe 2.5 steem, (50c) while the winner gets close to 73 steem. thats about $14, bit inequitable dont you think?

Hmmm good point , i think we can do something about that on our next contest , if you have any plan feel free to share with us ..

i will let you take responsibility to make this something fair for everyone. also, please encourage all to use creativecoin in other contests. I will be curating the entries :)
