After 24 weeks of contests I'm announcing that the Xmas Special was my final contest.

I'm preparing to deploy to Syria and just will not have time to give the contest my full attention while I'm involved in pre deployment training and while out on the mission itself. So until I return from my deployment sometime late next year I won't be running anymore contests.
I would like to thank everyone for the involvement in the contest over the past 24 weeks especially those who donated to the prize pool itself @alexrickard86 @eroche @travelnurse @isacoin @kunschj @markwhittam @pcste
I don't have an official stats run off but as an estimate I gave away approx $800 during the lifetime of the competition which I'm quite proud of, I hope the SBD helped some of the newer members of Steemit while the competition ran.
I hope you all had a Merry Xmas and will have a happy new year and keep Steeming on!.
