A contest with a pot of 10 STEEM and 6 @steembasicincome? Featuring poems AND stories? You're in the right place!
With our beloved #finishthestory and Mizu No Oto on break for the Easter Holidays/Spring Break, we have writing and poetry contest to get you through.
The Contest
In this contest, you are invited to write a poem and/or a short story inspired by the @bananafish - this could be anything, an action adventure, a pirate showdown, a space adventure, a grand parody, an epic poem, even a haiku, whatever you do, it's up to you!
Write a poem and/or short story inspired by the @bananafish
Your creation just needs to be inspired by the bananfish, your story could feature the bananafish itself, your poem could be a dedication, you could get inspired by the core values or even feature some of the @bananafish members as your characters. How you tie back to the @bananafish is up to you, so use your imagination and have a bit of fun. The @bananafish itself is a mythical creature, it has never been caught, although many an adventurer has tracked it this far and shared in it's bounty. This is a light hearted contest for the holidays, and because we are accepting entries as poems and short stories, you can enter one of each! Need more inspiration? Want to get to know the @bananafish tribe better? Head over to our realms on discord and join us for a pint of grog!

Hello @bananafish here is my entry https://steemit.com/contest/@felixgarciap/dreams-to-fulfill-bananafish-a-story-and-poetry-contest
What a wonderful way to kick us off, thank you very much @felixgarciap !
Please, allow me introduce you into my bad poetry.
https://steemit.com/bananafish/@vasigo/bananafish-in-slavic-antithesis
If it's not poetry about kittens, time paradoxes or - even worse - kittens involved in time paradoxes, then it's acceptable.
I've seen you in action now, can't fool me, the only bad you ever deliver is badass!

Bananafish contest. What is it all about please
Posted using Partiko Android
Write a short story and/or poem, inspired by the @bananafish for a chance to win - check the post of the full details and happy to answer any questions you may have <3
This one's specifically about bananafish. So chances are you wouldn't have a background to this @lapb.
What I suggest is the next round will be put up on Thursday which is usually a complete the story contest. I think you should participate in that. Basically, a beginning to a story is written and you are to complete that story in 500 words. That's the basic format. Try it. You will enjoy.

Only 500 words???
It seemed an appropriate homage to finishthestory, seen as it is such a challenge - tight for a story, plenty for a poem, but then it's more of a guide that a strict rule and I love how well you rise to a good challenge ;) Hope you manage something!
I will...
There are contests that require 50 words..
