Winners of My Story Contest 1 : How you got into Photography ! Close to 35 SBD's in prize !
First of all let me thank every one who up voted Your Story Contest and helped crowd funding the contest prize, frankly I did not expect it to generate this much prize money. The idea of the contest was to primarily support Steemit users with great content with not much success yet , but contest was open to everyone !
Secondly I thank you everyone who participated with your amazing stories ! It was not a easy decision , going through all the stores and also looking at your profile content !
Theme of the Story was How you got into photography as a student/hobbyist/professional
Here are the best 5 stories and winners in no particular order ! I am adding some quotes from the story and my favorite image from their profile , I would recommend reading the full story by clicking the link.
Winners !!
