Dear Steemians,

firstly I would like to apologize to all of you who have been waiting for the results to be published & the prizes being collected. I was away for vacation for 10 days & didn't take my laptop with me cause I wanted to rest properly.

But I'm back now & I will continue with the #self-portrait contest!

In this post I'm bringing you the results of the 3rd week!

There was only 1 entry in the 9th week by @vibesforlife & I decided to give her the first place!

1st place

@vibesforlife has followed all the contest rules. She has also published a great post in which she promotes the contest too, which I haven't even demanded in the contest rules but she had still done it so generously! This is her original post: @vibesforlife/self-portrait-photo-9-week

For all this effort & sincerity & a nicely displayed & visualized #self-portrait, I decided to give her the 1st prize - 4 STEEM, a 100% upvote and a resteem by me - & his entry is this:

The 10th contest week will be published very soon!

Thanks for applying & I hope to see more of your entries in the weeks to come!

Thanks!
