Do you enter contests and challenges on the steem blockchain?
Why or Why not?
If you do enter contests and challenges, how to you find them?
How do you make sure to enter and not forget?
Do you have any contests you enter all the time?
Answer any of these questions or give any other information in a comment below and you might be a winner of 1 sbi share. I am giving out four sbi shares for the best comments I get by the time this post pays out, or near about that time.
Here is some of what I do to succeed with contests and challenges on the steem blockchain:
Places I find contests and challenges
- @contestkings daily contest listing post
- @mariannewest’s daily freewrite prompt post
- my steemnow feed
- @steembasicincome contest listing posts
- Various discord channels that have rooms with contest listings in them
Some Contests and Challenges I Enter
- @qurator contests
- @curie weekly comment contest
- @maarnio daily crypto contest
- daily freewrite
- @freewritehouse weekly recommendation comment contest
- @sndbox contests
- @blocktrades contests
Why I Enter Contests and Challenges
- I win steem and sbi!
- I get out of my box and stretch my skills
- I meet new people I would not otherwise encounter
NOTE: I do not play @steemmonsters, but there are a wealth of contests for them. The @contestkings post above gives many. Currently @berniesanders is offering 2500 steem for a New Year’s tournament!

How to use steemnow to find contests and challenges
I use steemnow by @penguinpablo to find contests and challenges. I have this open all day to check my power before upvoting anyway. Whenever I refresh, I see new contests! Some are the contest offers and some are other people’s entries. Click on any of them to find out more.
Enter your user name to steemnow
https://steemnow.com/@yourusername
and change the settings in the last panel like I have here and you will find contests right when they come out. When they say "the first 10 people to comment will win" you can be one of those first people!
Writing contests and me
Recently I decided to try and enter some writing contests. I’m a writer and have a lot of trouble being brief.
(I won a week of bigger upvotes from @scrooger's @feedyourminnows program with this gif!)
So I decided to enter the 77 word contest by @hairyfairy recently, and I placed and got some sbi! Next I tried @felt.buzz’s 240 character zapfic and created a blockbuster post in such a short number of words (imo). It is on my theme of weight loss and I am currently blasting it all over my social media.
@fitinfun/prejudice-zapfic-in-240-characters
And I found the #antipost weekly contest recently by @sndbox and came in second with this crazy entry
@fitinfun/antipost-just-a-normal-day
If I did not try new contest ideas, none of those great results would have happened.
Please Enter My Contest!
The best 4 comments I get on this post before it closes are going to win 1 sbi share each. This contest requires:
- no follow
- no upvote
- no resteem
and so qualifies to be listed by @contestkings.
I hope you will enter and give me your thoughts. I want to hear from you.
Please also visit my other contest going on right now about the @qurator program.

If you post original content daily, this might be the contest and program for you!

Thank you so much for watching my video, reading my words, and letting me know your ideas today. This post is for the #znap initiative by @nathanmars. I participate in this as a proud member of the dtubefamily777, and I am so grateful for everything I have learned by this effort.
You can do it too! Go on over to Nathan's blog, follow directions and start posting your short videos to dtube. If I can do this, anyone can.
Are you worried about gaining weight over the holidays?
Or are you just going to worry about it later?
December 2011 is the month when my weight loss efforts really took off. Please follow my blog for weight loss information, or contact me directly if you would like some individual help.
