Hello Steemit friends,
I have been on steemit for a while now and I must confess is not as easy as I thought it would be.
I am not a writer and writing long post has not been easy for me, many times I have thought of quiting.
While in these thoughts I came up with an idea, while not do a contest to encourage Short Form Post. Maybe this would encourage someone to keep up on steemit.
So I have decided to put up contest post for short form post. The contest will be coming up regularly, maybe weekly. But you will need to follow and keep an eye on the announcement for the next contest on my blog.
The prizes will varie depending on what is decided for the week's prize, 10-20SBD in total for the winners weekly. I am doing this to support people like me, who are not too good with long post and have creative talents. I feel as a community, other forms of post should be encouraged and rewarded. I feel Steemit as a web and community can do better at rewarding different kind of post and talent, hence I introduced this contest.
I would like to Thank @donkeypong for donating the prize for this contest. He has been very supportive and he is given me his support for this contest. I sincerely appreciate him. He has been a motivation for many(especially Africa, Nigeria in particular.) He is a motivation to me and to this contest.
The contest for this week will have 4 winners, picked at random for a prize of 5SBD each. There are no limitations to who can contest. It is open to steemit member as long as you have an active account on steemit. The contest is to encourage and reward short form post and creative talent on steemit.
