#WhatIsSOMA — RESULTS

3 min readNov 15, 2018

We started this journey in the second week of September and ended the first week of November. Today this journey ends with the announcement of the winners of #WhatIsSOMA.

The content competition was broken into 3 contests:

Video Creation -$5,000 equivalent SCT pool
Article Creation -$1,500-equivalent SCT pool
Infographic Design -$2,500-equivalent SCT pool

The awards

We’ve allocated the equivalent of $10,000 in SCT to this competition. Each category will have a first, second, and third-place winner. The three first-place winners will be judged for an overall prize.

SOMA reserves the right to withhold an award if no entries meet the standards for that award (for example, if one stunning infographic is turned in and the rest fail to meet even third-place standards, we would award 1st place to the eligible infographic and not award a 2nd and 3rd place).

SOMA puts up more than $10,000.00 in $SCT for original content

Video creation

We didn’t had a lot of videos submitted so we decided to only select a third place. There was a great video submitted by @cryptoloan but he missed the deadline so he can’t be elected for this reward.

Third place goes to @intro2Crpto101 and will receive the equivalent of $600 in SCT.

Article creation

First place goes to @nibupraju and will receive the equivalent of $900 in SCT. He really got a lot of outreach! His article got shared on hackernoon.com and blockdelta.io!

Second place goes to @Intro2Crpto101 and will receive the equivalent of $400 in SCT

Third place goes to @scryptohomie will receive the equivalent of $200 in SCT

Infographic creation

The infographics category saw the most and highest-quality submissions. The following infographics really explained #WhatIsSOMA.

First place goes to @bee833 and will receive the equivalent of $1,500 in SCT

Second place goes to @cryptolegolas and will receive the equivalent of $700 in SCT

Third place goes to @bradfordpret and will receive the equivalent of $300 in SCT

Grand prize: $1,000 of SCT

The grand prize winner is Yanuar Abednego (@bee83), who will receive 1st place in the infographic category PLUS the additional $1000 equivalent value of SCT. Again, here is Yanuar’s infographic. It’s a thing of beauty.

We want to thank all participants in this contest. If you weren’t among the winners, please keep following us because we will announce more contests were you can take part in.

About SOMA

On legacy ecommerce platforms, anonymous usernames and depersonalized storefronts strip trade interactions of an important social element. Additionally, buyers lack a definitive way to ensure the authenticity of items. Enter SOMA. Our Heimdall Protocol stops forgeries and counterfeiting by validating ownership and provenance history on the blockchain. Social media elements bring personalization and interaction to trade, and allow users to monetize social influence, while a rewards system incentivizes beneficial collaboration and ensures that value-adding services are compensated. Soma is a free-market ecosystem — free of market manipulation, price-fixing, gouging, and bloat.
