The results of the Binance Life essay contest were just announced. First, there was a small oversight—when organizing the document, the column for winners was grouped together and displayed at the top, but the other columns weren’t updated accordingly. This caused the rest of the document to remain in its original chronological order, making it look like the prizes were awarded based on submission order. (Come on, I wouldn’t be that lazy, right? ) I’ve already undone the grouping, and the document is back to normal now. Everyone can browse it as usual. Secondly, some people complained to me about not winning and accused me of not reading their articles carefully. First of all, I really appreciate everyone’s participation in this event. I believe every article represents your hard work and dedication. However, I’ve already explained beforehand that I don’t have the luxury of sitting at home all day reading 700 articles. I have plenty of my own tasks to handle. That’s why I invited several Binance staff members to help with the selection process. The final results were not decided by me alone. Admittedly, essay contests are bound to involve subjective factors . Personally, I was willing to put up 30 BNB—$30,000—and spend time and effort organizing this event. My original intention was to share joy with everyone, not to create any conflicts or misunderstandings. Yesterday, I spent the whole day dealing with frozen accounts, and I’m feeling a bit drained. I hope everyone can understand .
