Thanks for stopping in to see what this contest is about. I am 2 weeks new to steemit and want to run my first contest to try to help struggling minnows.
Sometimes really cool posts get lost in the flood of posts. I would like to give new users a chance to have some of their work resteemed and also a chance at some SBD. Hopefully we will all get a chance to see some cool content that would have slipped under the radar and have some great conversations . Anyone may vote but only newbies can win.
To enter the contest:
- Post a link to 1 article you created this week and a quick description about content.
- Vote for at least one other contestant who has a great article with a vote of more than 0.00.
- Must upvote contest to win.
- Single photos and memes don't qualify, we are looking for content.
To win the contest:
- Enter contest as per directions above
- Must be a plankton or minnow with less than 50 SP
that you own and not ever have powered down. - Winner will be picked by comment with most upvotes, excluding any votes for yourself.

nice Michael! very cool
My post is a free form poem about both the destructive, and restorative power of fire.
Thanks for entering the contest, super late but glad you found us.
You should thank @erebus for the vote that got you a win ☝️
So plankton are below minnows? What am I, a regal tang?
Your ranking has to do with how many mvests are assigned to your account.

I'm thinking you aren't teaching a rep 58 anything he doesn't already know. LOL - good luck with your contest. Welcome to the platform. ;)
Actually I am pretty open about my ignorance of how this site works. I just write stuff, and read stuff.
I'm also only a 53, unfortunately.
@erebus don't worry... I feel you.. at47, I still feel lost and confused. But also like you, I keep on creating articles though. :)
@smafey your wallet qualifies for this contest. If you submit a link, your post will be seen.
Masturbating and Calling It Poetry... is about how I feel disappointed in the poetry on Steemit, so with the help of @thewritersblock, we made a poetry contest with cash prizes to encourage more quality poetry posted to Steemit and rewarded :)
Thanks for entering the competition. If you like poetry and writing you should read @jessandthesea post, she talks about the Writers Block and 2 different poetry competitions on steemit. It was fun reading 😆😅!
I'm new to Steemit and have been working on a sci-fi short story series. I'm on the 3rd chapter , check it out!

@royaleagle: I like the idea! #Followed + #upvote :)

To support the idea with quality content, here I'll share my latest (real) blog article, "I have a dream" - a dedication to Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream, adapted to the #Steem cosmos...

Thanks for entering the contest. The ending was different then what I thought it was about in the beginning.
It is a great idea, I have put up a similar post, pop by and enter royaleagle if you like, you might even win more sbd to do this again next week.

https://steemit.com/competition/@deliberator/best-newcomer-article-photo-blog-story-0-5-sbd-giveaway
thanks ;)
I want people to see this and enter your contest too, you should make an entry like everyone else's so no one misses this sub conversation... sometimes people skip the sub comments if they don't think they apply.
How it will work !?
Post a link to something you have created on steemit and describe what it is about to catch people's attention, read other players links and upvote the best other choices.
A comment like @bryarose23's comment is how you enter.
At payout time person with most upvotes wins 1rst place.
Where are the other players links !?
I posted thanks for entering the contest under the current contestants.
Thats true always good people are beautyful
Awesome this is so good that you are running with this... You are already ahead of what we have planned for what's coming... Its awesome to see and I send you a little boost because my upvotes have no power.
Good job royaleagle!
I know you have a busy week with the things you have planned for #newbieresteemday. If you have a few minutes you should think about tossing one of your articles in this contest. You have great work I sometimes refer people to when I give explanations. Thanks for your support.
That's awesome of you to say, and I appreciate the gesture. I want you to help a smaller guy. I support you and your project and love to see the spirit you have. Keep up the good work, I'm happy we're on the same team.
Nice to see these positive things on Steemit..
Keep up the good work and Share the love...

Thanks for entering the contest. I left you some feedback on your post. I have never tried steemit on a phone, that must be so small...

Join the Curation Team Here
You left a link to your contest on my contest page, so I'm checking it out. I like what you are doing, but your winner is selected by majority vote. This would be fine if everyone votes normally, but with so many bots following curation trails, the winner could be someone who just happened to hit a curation trail, or even worse, someone who owns a bot army and simply sets it to vote on their own post. I was fortunate enough to have a couple of honest participants enter my contest and explain to me why they were able to skew the odds in their favor. This led me to alter the way the contest worked in order to make it fair to everyone. Now I am letting you know that your contest is also open to manipulation.
The idea for the contest is fantastic, so I don't wish to discourage you there. Perhaps you can round up a team of volunteers to select a winner based on some predetermined criteria that might change from contest to contest? If you get too many good entries and cannot decide, you may decide to use one of the online random pickers from all entries or from a smaller list that has been delegated as potential winners.
I'm sure you will figure something out. Welcome to Steemit and good luck!
Thank you for helping not only him, but also me @happyme... it is not something that I would've thought of but I've seen the bots hit things. This kind of information is very useful and I'm glad you took time out to tell us.
I'm always willing to share anything I learn.
I really appreciate the time you took to help sort me out. I am greatful you left useful feedback in a positive way on both my original post and then took the time to follow through the link and stop here with more feedback!
I like Dave had no idea about bot armies...
I have thought about your advice and have been watching the contestants and how they missed the upvote someone else part. I am thinking it will be more about comments next week... make the contestants read the other posts, comment and vote. I am hoping it will help teach people about commenting and make sure they get exposure on their own piece, because the contestants will have to read it to comment.
While speaking about commenting and how we met... I am not the only one that is unsure of when is appropriate to link-drop. I found this article this morning written by someone relatively new and thought of you to link or not
Like you, I'm having a heck of a time trying to get people to actually READ the entire post and engage with it by commenting. I like to reward all my commenters with an up-vote to show my appreciation and thus encourage more comments.
I made a reply to the link you provided. It is only my own opinion as there are no hard and fast rules, but I prefer to be on the cautious side. One flag from a whale can knock your reputation back to nothing!
Another great initiative!
Would love to partake but for some reason even at 100% my vote is worth 0.00
Join anyways... I am having the same problem as you by the way
https://steemit.com/@royaleagle/why-is-my-100-voting-power-worth-0-00
Alright :) I will. Currently writing a new post. When it is ready I'll post that one. I'm guessing the deadline is when this post reaches 7days?
I'll refrain from voting until the 100% issue is fixed :)
Hi @royaleagle, I think it's fantastic you're doing this initiative. I would love to nominate my post about the early start of my relationship :-)
I've noticed there isn't a large LGBT audience here on Steemit, but I am hoping this community grows and I will be intentional about seeing this to fruition. But I believe its important that others know and connect with your story first and foremost.
Eventually I want to personally curate quality LGBT content. Our community goes beyond typical social expectation: we are not all angst ridden about being acceptance in the world. We are not all promiscuous. Most of us want stable, loving relationships and not to be a "fad" or constant conversation piece. I believe there is great potential on this platform to share original, quality content. I believe in our community.

It is my first serious blog post I made, in my own opinion it is quite a good read
