I used the following code snippet below to pick winners at random from the comment replies. Feel free to adapt it for your own contests!

```
import re
import random

from steem import Steem

polo_regexp = re.compile(r'polo', flags=re.IGNORECASE)
tshirt_regexp = re.compile(r'tshirt|t\-shirt|shirt',flags=re.IGNORECASE)

BLACKLIST = ['matt-a']

s = Steem()

raffle_replies = s.get_content_replies('robrigo', 'giveaway-bitshares-polo-and-t-shirt-up-for-grabs-to-celebrate-smashing-bugs')

random.shuffle(raffle_replies)

entrants = {
	'polo': [],
	'tshirt': []
}

for reply in raffle_replies:
	if (reply['author'] in BLACKLIST 
	or reply['author'] in entrants['polo'] 
	or reply['author'] in entrants['tshirt']):
		continue
	elif polo_regexp.search(reply['body']):
		entrants['polo'].append(reply['author'])
	elif tshirt_regexp.search(reply['body']):
		entrants['tshirt'].append(reply['author'])

print("""
    Congratulations %s! You win the polo.
    Congratulations %s! You win the tshirt.
""" % (random.choice(entrants['polo']), random.choice(entrants['tshirt'])))
```
