Hello my dear Steemian friends, brothers and sisters,
So @dreemsteem and I were talking a few days back, and as it turned out: both of us had a similar idea to spread the love. We both agreed that this kinda thing is needed on this platform right now. For those who didn't know this yet: @anomadsoul and @blocktrades had a contest last week, and we both won a month long @blocktrades scholarship, which means we, and six others will be getting 8 of their upvotes this month. How awesome is that?
@dreemsteem mentioned that she wanted to get a contest going, and I had thought of the same!
If you want to find out what she has in store for you, then please read her post here. But don't forget to come back here of course...
But that's not all that we have in common. Although I've followed her for a little while, we only just 'met' and started talking a couple of days ago. And what do we find out?
We're both homeschooling moms.
We both hate shopping (for clothes) and we can both get ready in only a couple of minutes. I know, I know: a man's dream right? 😆 Very true. There aren't many like us...
And book stores make us happy. Well, if that isn't lady fate slapping us around the ears, then I don't know what is...
This song comes to mind: Hey soul sister, ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio...
AAAAAAAANYWAY....
If you think I am just going to give away my hard-earned 60 Steem, then...well... you're wrong.
I'm gonna make you work for it....
Not like THAT!
But then again: if you insist on doing a dance, of course you can.
Although I think @dreemsteem's contest is better suited for that.
So here's the deal
Go and find a brand-new Steemian with the #introduceyourself tag.
Now, and this is important: it should be someone who did an introduceyourself post before I posted this. For reasons I don't really need to explain I think.
However, not more than one week old. AND, not from the trending page please...
Make sure that this is their genuine first introduction, and not the 12th post with the same tag.
You SHOULD NOT KNOW THEM!Once you found someone who's story you love. Write a few sentences about why you chose them, what you love about their post and so on. It doesn't have to be long, but at least 100 words would be nice. NO MORE THAN 500 words please! Remember: your post is just as important as theirs.
Once you've written your post, use the tag #spreadthelovecontest and link it here. Of course, if you want to make a video...you can.
Let them know that you entered a contest. Comment and link your post in their introduction post. Because...and here it comes: if you win, they win!
It's not called Spread-the-love-contest for nothing.
The prizes
Because I want to spread the love as much as I can, I am going to have a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
1st place: Both win 15 Steem for a total of 30 Steem
2nd place: Both win 10 Steem for a total of 20 Steem
3rd place: Both win 5 Steem for a total of 10 Steem
I will try to find other judges to make the choices with me, but if I can't, you're gonna have to deal with me alone. If anyone feels the call of being a judge now, please let me know...
The Rulezzzz...
Because without them, we're nothing. (really?)
Please read these carefully:
I would like to see people who at least engaged a little bit on the platform, so I am going to set a minimum reputation score for you. 40 is the magic number, and to be honest, it will not be hard to have that at least. Of course, this only goes for you. The new Steemian will likely have less...
And sorry: spammers will not be appreciated.
Use the tag #spreadthelovecontest for your post
Link it here
The contest starts right now, and ends on Wednesday the 12th of December at 23.59 GMT
Remember that the person you choose, had to have written his/her introduceyourself post before this post is posted.
An upvote of this post and a resteem is not required, however appreciated. Resteeming will attract more people and thus: spread the love even more.
If any of these rules are not followed, I will have to disqualify and I don't want to do that, so read it again carefully. I will be very strict...
Those who keep themselves to the rules:
Thank you for reading!!!
Thanks for the great contest! I'm glad I entered because I found a great new friend! Here is my post! https://steemit.com/contest/@imsteinsbrother/spread-the-love-entry and here is his post https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@arknight/from-gamer-to-blogger-to-game-designer

Here is my selection of a new introduction post on Steemit. I picked this one because he is an Electrical Engineer, and so am I. I may have found a kindred spirit down Venezuela way, in this new account. Since I look for new accounts anyway, I thought this would be a prefect choice for me for a spreadthelovecontest, so here we are!
I will see if I can pull this guy into the Engagement League, where I heard of this contest. This should be a a lot of fun for both of us, if I can keep him out of the RC Jail, maybe we can have some fun helping others with power problems.
I will follow Freddy, and maybe we can talk often, I hope so! Here is his intro post, and he has posted three times right now.

:)>Hi @smithlabs! I can see a bromance coming up the way you talk about your choice😊. I LOVE it! Thank you for your entry and Good Luck!
It is fun finding another Engineer, we speak the same language! Him in Spanish, and me in English, ROFLOL!
It should be fun!
:)>Hi there,
I've just upvoted this post
A small contribution from me, to help the steem community to thrive ;)
Thank you @ziomar! You only need 1 more rep to be able to enter...Hopefully you will :)
thats a really cool contest MissV. I LIKE what youre doing! x x
Thank you @basilmarples! That means a lot. Are you joining? There's still time...
Great contest @misslasvegas. I've spread the love with an interesting post I found in the new section of the introduceyourself tag.
Here is my entry: https://steemit.com/spreadthelovecontest/@raj808/spread-the-love-contest-introducing-a-new-steemian
P.s. resteemed to spread the word... and of course 100% upvoted ;-)
I think that is so cool how you and @dreemsteem connected! She is so energetic and sweet! I have gotten the chance to interact with her a few times. Congrats to you both on your win! I need to take the time to check out @anomadsoul’s competitions more often!
I think this is a great competition so I had to take the time to enter. Thanks a ton for the opportunity...here is my post link: https://steemit.com/spreadthelovecontest/@crosheille/spread-the-love-contest-kealagan
YAY!!! You entered! Cool!!! Yeah, I think in this 'quiet' time here on Steemit the ones that are still here are one tight community. I think it could be a good thing. It's funny how small the world really is once you look around you. There are so many connections connected to others. LOL. I love it.
Yay I got it in! I definitely agree about it being a good thing. It seems more smaller accounts and newer Steemians are getting more love and attention now during the “quiet”. I can see stronger relationships being built from it. Yes I am noticing my little world of connections as well.
Here is my entry for your contest @misslasvegas. What a wonderful idea, and I am so glad I found it to enter :)

YES! Please do! @littlenewthings!
The more the merrier. Although it will be a tough choice as it is now lol. Soooo many great entries.

I'm glad you liked it @hadji, thanks for stopping by!
Sure not like that?
Resteeming out to the 'masses', great idea! :D
Thanks for the resteem @abh12345! It's very much appreciated.
Hey, if you want to work it like THAT, please feel free to do so...
Don't forget to record it and send it to me please 😬
I promise, I'll treat it with discretion...🤫😇
My pleasure!
'discretion' meaning straight to dtube? :P
UhmmmMaybe.... Wouldn't it be the way to find out how well a (almost?) 40 year old can still work it? And how many upvotes that would get? I mean, if I were you, I'd get straight to that camera and start recording. And then send it to me...😉
It would be a sure-fire way to find out that this almost 40 year old can totally not work it at all :P
Up-votes? I think you mean down-votes :D
Awe...don't underestimate yourself. If anything: people are always up for a laugh. And for what it's worth (3 cents exactly) you'd have my vote 😊.
This is such an interesting Contest💞 I Resteemed!👍😁🍀

Spread Love
I have a question, I can choose an Steemit account that represents a group or it has to be a single person's blog?
Posted using Partiko Android
Hi @jenina619, it can be a group too of course. If they have one account, I don't see an issue.
Oh man, sorry I just got this!!! Bummer, I would have entered for sure. I'm sure everyone else has scooped up the newbies - this is such a cool contest, good luck to all.. .what a great way to engage people and get people connected. Super impressed, Missy Las Vegas!
There's still time @riverflows!!!
I couldn't bear to trawl through the intro tag... I have too much engaging to do elsewhere at the moment...
