Here are the screen shots of the prize payouts (350 POB and 75 HIVE) -

And, @mineopoloy's response to being crowned the winners is posted here.

Thank you for continuing to support the Proof of Blind project as we continue to work on creating the best and most beneficial experience for all Hive users, especially excellent content creators who are new to Hive or remain relatively unknown.

Again, we want to thank everyone for next everyone for their submissions and referrals. We plan on posting more contests like this in the future!

How can I submit original content to the Proof of Blind project?

First and foremost, go to the Proof of Blind FAQ post and review the requirements.

Second, follow @blind.submit so you will receive all future "Request for Submissions" posts.

Third, follow @blind.stats so you can follow the leaderboard and see how your content compares to all the other content being submitted via the Proof of Blind project (and see whether you have been granted permission to post to the project more than once a week).

Once you understand the submission requirements, you can click the following button to start the Proof of Blind submission process:

How can I curate for the Proof of Blind project?

Simply follow @proofofblind and vote for the best content you find there.

Also, if you are interested in photography-only and art-only posts, follow @proofofblind.pix and @proofofblind.art.

What is Proof of Blind and how does it work?

Here is a quick overview:

• Content creators submit their original content (following the procedure detailed at the end of the "Request for Submissions" post).

• Submitted content is checked for plagiarism.

• Plagiarism-free content is posted via the @proofofblind account* (typically within 24 hours after submission), with

• the original author as 85% beneficiary,

• the person who coordinated the plagiarism review and finalized the @proofofblind post as 10% beneficiary,

• @proofofblind retaining 5%.

Thanks for you interest in the Proof of Blind project!
