0.000 HBDSteemit Open Mic Prizes Are Temporarily Reduced Until Further Notice
#### Just letting everyone know that the prizes for the Open Mic contest will be reduced until further notice. #### @pfunk has been donating Steem to go towards the Open Mic contest. He usually gives at least 200 Steem and I kick in another 100 Steem each week. <center>https://i.imgsafe.org/1d/1d27674288.jpeg</center> <center>[Source](https://steemit.com/transfersteem/@eliyahu/how-to-donate-steem-within-the-steemit-community)</center> Unfortunately, for the last few weeks, @pfunk has slipped to the number 21 position as a witness. That means he earns less and as a result has been donating 100 Steem and I have been making up the difference with another 200 Steem. I don't earn enough Steem to continue doing that. It's a lot of work to run Open Mic and I don't mind the work or even paying for it, but it is not sustainable at this point. I'm actually losing Steem giving that much as a prize. So until we can get @pfunk back into the top 20 or find some other sources of funding, or get enough upvotes on the Open Mic posts to cover the Steem prize I have no choice but to reduce the prize payouts. I hope everyone understands. You can upvote @pfunk as a witness [here](https://steemit.com/~witnesses) https://steemit.com/~witnesses Just scroll down until you see his name and upvote it. You will need to log in with your active key to do so. Thanks for understanding and I will let everyone know if this changes in the future. --- The new payout, for now, beginning week 86 will be: (*Week 85 will still payout 300 Steem as promised*) 100 Steem from @pfunk 100 Steem from @luzcypher ### Prizes ### 1st: 80 Steem 2nd: 40 Steem 3rd: 26 Steem 4th: 26 Steem 5th: 26 Steem --- <center>[](https://steemit.com/@luzcypher)</center>
