Hi! A great day to all members of the MemeHive tribe! Today is the announcement of winners for the first-ever MemeHive Theme Curation Contest announced a week ago.
Just this morning, after checking the posts on our community on PeakD, I saw two good articles published by @linda2021 and @mintymile. I am referring to these two articles:
Why MemeHive Is Revolutionizing Social Media: 20 Reasons to Ditch Centralized Platforms
Trump's Tariff Pause: The Emergency Brake That Saved the US Economy?
Nevertheless, they cannot be included in the contest, for today is the announcement for winners during the last week's competition. I hope that they will publish an entry for next week's curation contest.
Based on the Judging Period article I published last night, there were five entries that qualified for last week's contest. Among these five entries, only three will be announced as winners. However, since this is our first community attempt for an event like this, I decided to give 2 consolation prizes with 250 MEME tokens each.
Judging & Curation Criteria
| Account | Entry | Creativity & Humor (40%) | Engagement (20%) | Relevance to Theme (20%) | Presentation (20%) | Final Score (100%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| @offgridlife | Trump to the Moon | 37 | 18 | 19 | 17 | 91 |
| @zuerich | I love multikulti | 38 | 20 | 17 | 19 | 94 |
| @mintymile | Surprise! Surprise – Trump Reverses Course on Tariffs... But Why? | 39 | 16 | 20 | 20 | 95 |
| @thepholosopher | Now, that's diversity! | 36 | 19 | 18 | 18 | 91 |
| @grimmjoe | For shits and giggles 1 | 40 | 17 | 20 | 20 | 97 |
Judging Outcome and Rewards
In judging content, even though pure objectivity isn't easy, at least that's what we can get from having a clear criteria.
Moreover, the role of the community plays a big part in engagement, and that is why, though @zuerich's content is not directly related to my preferred suggested topic (anyone is free to choose themes outside of the given categories as announced), his post received the highest upvotes with 189, 18 comments, and 2 reblogs.
The last consideration is the subjective evaluation. It is good that based on the given criteria, no two entries receive a similar final score. In case such a thing happens in the future, my role as the facilitator of this contest is to break the tie, and that's where subjectivity comes in.
Given all the foregoing considerations and based on the above criteria, the winners for last week's curation contest are:
1st Place: @grimmjoe with a 97% final score and will receive 2,000 MEME.
2nd Place: @mintymile with a 95% final score and will receive 1,000 MEME.
3rd place goes to @zuerich with a 94% final score and will receive 500 MEME.
Both @offgridlife and @thepholosopher have received 250 MEME each as consolation prizes:
As for the above three winners, @greywarden100 will send your rewards later.
Thank you for all your entries! I hope to see your post in the next curation contest.
