#sixweekhealth Week Two Finalists (who should win 60 Steem?)

in #health7 years ago

#sixweekhealth Week Two Finalists (we need your votes)

I cannot believe all of the amazing entries we had this week. It took me two hours just to cut down the list to forty entries, and I then spent another two hours trying to cut those forty entries down to just four. I failed!

With the help of the other judges, we've managed to get the final short list down to seven entries (I was originally aiming for four). Honestly Steemit, I need your help. I can't even get close to choosing between these seven amazing entries.

HERE is the original challenge for this week. There you'll find all of the rules and exactly what we were looking for from entries. I need your help now to vote for your favourite walk in the comments below. The entry with the most votes will receive 60 Steem!

Get out, see stuff, live healthy.

However, I'm going to make things more interesting. Because there are now seven people competing for your votes, I'm going to add a second and third place prize. The post that comes second will win themselves 10 Steem and the post that comes third will win 5 Steem.

So to recap:

  • I need you to vote in the comments below by commenting the LETTER of the post you liked best.
  • The person with the most votes will win sixty Steem!
  • The second most voted for post will win ten Steem.
  • The third place post will win five Steem.

The Finalists for Week Two of the Six Week Health Challenge #sixweekhealth

To make this challenge work, we need your votes. These seven Steemians submitted walks to help inspire all of us to get healthy. Look at each walk or run and vote for your favourite in the comment section by commenting either A, B, C , D, E, F, or G. Entries are in order of the author's name.

Walk A

Explore the urban back streets of Berlin, Germany

Take a trip with @akashas as she explores the city of Berlin. I loved this entry because it showed a unique urban environment, showing us that walks can be interesting and beautiful, even if you can't get out in to nature. The photography was varied and I loved the arty shots of the graffiti down the back streets.

Walk B

Taking a jog around the beautiful Gordon's Bay, South Africa

@chr7is takes us jogging around Gordon's Bay in South Africa. The scenery looks absolutely stunning with the mountains in the background and the beach and sea in the foreground. I also loved that Chris was out running with other people and was using his Pokémon GO app to keep him motivated!

Walk C

Run with me around Vienna, Austria

Some lovely night shots of Vienna in @co-co 's blog post here. Posts beautiful high resolution images and also shows us the run she did with a summary screenshot of her running app at the end!

Walk D

Talk a walk around Arad, Romania

The thing I loved about @missdeli 's post is that she put the time in to really customise her post - writing the start and finish of her walk on the pavement in chalk and showing us the details of her walk. It's a beautiful long piece with loads of interesting details and places that she visits.

Walk E

Huge night tour of Vienna, Austria

@street.yoga has done some amazing walks for this challenge. His dedication and involvement are amazing and this post just proves the effort he is going to for his health and to share health with others. A huge two and a half hour walk shows us many of the sights in Vienna!

Walk F

Galway, Ireland's wilder side!

Ireland has a long history and @totesmcgoat 's post shows us some of Galway's long past with some great shots of local castles, ruins and scenery. He also gives us a great history lesson about the history of the area and the buildings! Great entry.

Walk G

Enjoy the snow white scenery of Dnipro, Ukraine

@yatsuk.kostia has included some amazing photography of his run. The photos are breathtaking, I can't choose between which one I like most. The one with your feet in shot and a view over the city is awesome!

Great idea .. I loved that
Walk B
Good luck.

I will go with "Walk E ,Huge night tour of Vienna, Austria". Vienna is one of my favourite cities so It could be one reason that I am more inclined towards it but anyway, it is my vote.

Thanks for the vote :) That was an epic tour right?

Votes are now closed. Thank you everyone for your votes! Look out for the winner in a post shortly :D

Coach Ben

You have 24 hours left to vote for your favourite challenge entry! Get those votes in in the comments.

The NEW health challenge is now up HERE. Week Three's challenge is to show us how you de-stress. This is a broad topic so I'm looking forwards to some interesting and varied entries.

Head over to the Week Three Challenge post and comment 'I'm in' and you could be winning sixty Steem next week!

Yours in health,
Coach Ben

I looked over each post very carefully. I photograph, take tons of walks, hikes and blog about them. I found that some of these entries were too long, or too many photos, some sources were not properly placed or grammar was not the best. Because of those issues I took off points to help me decide. 😁

I came up with my decision, not because of favoritism because I am actually voting for someone else other than the Group member I was sent to support. I choose this person because the photos were raw, the writing was pretty good and most importantly this person is a Noob. I find that helping Noobs other than Those already established, assists our community in its entirety.

I have been helped quite a bit through my growth in the last 9 weeks through contests and challenges just like these. These initiatives are fabulous! They help Noobs gain heart and confidence in their writing and posts. We also tend to work harder and return the love someday back into the community.

Therefore, my choice for a Win is Walk F.

I would like to extend my Best wishes to @totesmcgoat for this week’s choice for #sixweekhealth. Go Ireland!!

Thank you for really taking time to consider your vote :) it's this great effort that supports the Steemit community.

Will you enter the challenge next week @eaglespirit?
The new challenge is HERE

Hi there @healthsquared and thank you for your response. :)
I appreciate you taking the time to read my vote and seeing that I'm looking out for the community. It's a good one for sure!
I have looked at the challenge, and I imagine a girl in a yoga outfit hanging from a tree will probably win this one. Hee Hee
I'm not so inclined to do that .. but I will keep my eye out for the next one. Blessings. Eagle. xx

Well since I'm the judge I know that that's not true :p Only posts with a lot of effort will get through to the final vote. We've had some great entries already with everything from computer games to gardening!

LOL! Excellent, I like to hear when judges are fair!! If you are an artist and love to join contests too, there is one called the Steemit Vision Quest with tag #svq that you might like. I'm a judge in that one. I bet the games and gardening are amazing ones. I think after week 2 this really picked up nicely. Great idea and initiative. I"ll look at this weeks topic! xx

Thanks so much 😀

You are welcome!

Hey that's my name :D thanks for nominating me! Walk B for the win :)

Walk B!
