Steem Basic Income
Steem Basic Income is a social experiment to bring a basic income to as many Steemians as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Steem Basic Income is delivered through providing regular upvotes to member content.
Contests, Giveaways and Raffles!
We’re barrelling through May, hurdling over the contests as they roll in. Make sure to take some time and see how many SBI shares you could win by reading the whole list before they roll on by!
If you’re a contest owner, be sure to check out the next section before looking at the rest of the list.
Not seeing your contest on the list?
Here are some hints for getting your contest listed:
First thing to note is that the person making the list, @ntowl, only speaks English. If I can’t tell that SBI shares are part of the prize then I won’t list it. I will try Google Translate but it doesn’t always work. In fact, it hardly ever works with anything posted on Partiko (that I’ve tried anyway).
So help yourself by helping me and explain the prize pool, rules and SBI shares somewhere on the post in English. Even if I can’t read the rest I’ll include it if I can be sure you’re offering SBI prizes (which I reserve the right to verify after the contest ends - no sneaky bait and switches please).
Second, once you’ve made the SBI prizes clear, the best way to get noticed is to post it in the contest channel in the SBI Discord server. I’ll list any contest that meets the conditions and appears on this list between editions. So to get into the Monday edition you need to post after Thursday evening (usually) for example. If you don’t post in the SBI Discord and just use the tag, you may or may not get listed depending on how many I find on the Discord channel.
Contest participants
Please try to think about your submissions and reward these great hosts with quality submissions. If you enjoy somebody’s contest format, check their feed for more, and follow them so you don’t have to wait for our listing to come out!
If you want to see more contests before we mention them, check the #steembasicincome tag in Trending or New and see what's happening! We also have a contests channel in our Discord server.
Each contest may have its own rules, so please read the contest post thoroughly before entering.
Today’s featured contests
Punday Monday
From the creator:
What is Punday?
Punday is the best day. It's the day we post a topic upon which you are invited to pun in the comments for a chance at SBI shares. You get to read all the incredible puns, and you can try your hand at puns, and you can just bask in the warmth and love that punsters offer. I am your Puntender, and I serve hot puncakes with Mapun Syrpun.
Wednesday Walk
Try and get out once a week for a short walk, can be from your office, home or anywhere really and walk for a few blocks or a few minutes looking for things to get shots of and share a post on a Wednesday with the #wednesdyawalk tag for a chance to receive SBI.

Vote on your favorite story to enter this unique contest.
Check out these recurring contests too!
Quite a few industrious Steemians run contests regularly. Here is a list of the ones we know about at the moment. All of these have been running for months so you can count on their posted schedule.
Be sure to check each account and look for the contest name as the links change each week. Also remember to read the full contest description as the rules and prize values sometimes change.
@freewritehouse
The folks over at @freewritehouse run three contests each week. All of them are designed to encourage community engagement and highlight other's work. Besides the prizes from the @freewritehouse account, they are always interested in hearing from anyone who will sponsor a contest and so they can offer even bigger prizes.
A Favorite Freewrite You Read contest runs every Tuesday for just 24 hours. You need to read some freewrites written (you can read this post to see what they are), and then comment on the contest posts about which ones you liked best and why. If they choose your comment you win units of SBI.
Recommend your Favorite Freewrite Poem is a poetry version of the Favorite Freewrite contest and it runs every Friday. Make a comment about a freewrite poem you loved and you could win SBI units. But be quick! When Friday is over, so is the contest - until the next week that is.
We-Write is a new challenge where two writers create a single story using the freewrite prompt. It runs every other Wednesday with a prize of 10 SBI divided among winners.
@bananafish
Finish the Story Contest is run by @f3nix via the @bananafish account which now hosts the contest which runs every Wednesday. He posts the beginning of a story, and you finish it. Then you post your complete story for everyone to read. One of the prizes is SBI units. The important thing to know about this contest is that it's an ongoing creativity workshop, so if you miss one deadline you can participate in the next.
Mizu No Oto is founded on the belief that every image has a haiku. It’s an @bananafish contest curated by @marcoriccardi, a real haijin (haiku poet) and it's a great occasion to learn this form of poetry.
Paying it Forward
In the spirit of helping new Steemians, this contest focuses on curating great content and is run by @pifc. It runs weekly on Mondays and asks that you find two "High Quality Original Content Blog Posts" to recommend for curation. Four judges decide which recommendations were the best and multiple winners get SBI units. Follow @pifc to see the latest contest post and read it for full details.
ZapFic Writing Contest
Like super short stories? Try writing one in 232 characters or fewer for your chance to win SBI in this contest run by @felt.buzz. Every Wednesday he posts a new prompt to use for your very short story. You can post your story wherever you want, just make sure to keep it under 232 characters.
Caption Contest
Help celebrate digital art by creating creative captions for the week’s selected picture. Read all the rules carefully to be sure your entry qualifies for the SBI prizes.
Thank you economy
Every week you can visit the Thank You Economy contest and tag someone who has helped you. When you do, both of you could win SBI units from the ever growing prize pool!
MeatyMondays!
Sponsored by Jimmy's Sauces, @BraaiBoy hosts MeatyMondays and asks you to share a picture of a recent braai (aka BBQ) to win. That's it... No Likes or Resteems etc. required. 7 SBI units (and other prizes - incl a real-world Jimmy's Sauce hamper) are up for grabs. Yum! Mondays just got better.
Loyal Reader Rewards
A.E. Jackson writes short stories, interactive fiction, and informative articles which are published on Steemit.com. As a new writer, it is important to build a loyal following, and get feedback from readers. The Loyal Reader Rewards Contest was created with those goals in mind.
Loyal Readers can earn entries into a Steemit Basic Income random draw each week by reading posts, and following the directions to enter. The entry form requires more information than many Steemians are comfortable with providing, so enter at your own discretion.
Steemexplorer’s Daily
@steemexplorers is a project operated by @jonnyla08 and the “Monsters Madness Giveaways” team which aims to consistently help others find resources to improve their Steemit user experiences, network with other community members and achieving personal growth. We hope to be a central source of information and guidance for all Steemians. Steemexplorers has some exciting projects in the works. Presently while we work through these projects we conduct FREE daily giveaways of SBI shares among other things throughout the other members of our team. Please see the instructions in our daily giveaways for more information on how to participate.
Track of the Day
This is how it ROLLS... Share a link to the track that is "doing it for you" today in the comments and you are done! I will choose the three I like the most and they get 1 SBI share each - others may receive upvotes if they don't make it into my "top 3". - AND GO....!!!!

How to get on the recurring contest list
Do you run a regular contest that you’d like to see in our recurring contest section? We have some simple criteria you need to have to be included:
- SBI units must be part of the prizes given out.
- Contest needs to be running 5 weeks or 10 contests on a consistent schedule, whichever comes first.
- Meet Contest King’s no upvote, no resteem, and no follow conditions.
If you think your contest qualifies let us know in the comments or on our Discord channel and we’ll check it out.
Enrollment
If you want to get involved, or to increase the basic income that you receive, enrollment is pretty straightforward:
Just send 1 STEEM to @steembasicincome. Include the name of a Steemian to sponsor in the transaction memo (preceded by @). You and the person you sponsor will each receive 1 unit in the program. You can sponsor any active Steemian, it does not have to be a current member.
If you're unclear, please check out our full transaction memo guidelines and then let us know if you have any questions.
https://steemit.com/busy/@steembasicincome/transaction-memo-guidelines
The official currency for enrollment is STEEM. If we choose to accept SBD without refunding it, you do not receive extra value for it.
Enrollments are processed automatically every 144 minutes. Confirmation transactions are still manual and typically are sent within 2-3 days. Even if you have not received a welcome transaction, you can check your status using !sbi status.

Dear @steembasicincome,
Hope all is well?
I just did a transfer for
@agmoore, @tonioarmani, @yabshire, @n1hal, @watisnew
But misspelled @whatisnew with the above version. Sorry!!! Can you please make sure it makes it to the right place?
Sorry about that and thanks again for being so cool! ;)
Also here is a cool contest I am hosting for #steembasicincome that hopefully you can post on your next blog regarding contests?
Thanks!
https://steemit.com/steembasicincome/@snowyknight/nature-identification-contest-nic-win-sbi-and-have-fun-with-nature-steembasicincome-v-3
thanks for letting me know (on both counts). I have fixed the transaction so it will process as @whatisnew and shared your contest link in our Discord.
@ntowl usually builds the contest listing from the links in our discord first. How long has this contest been running now?
Thank you! Thanks for sorting out my error and for sharing the contest link on Discord.
The Nature Identification Contest has been on, more or less for two years.
Here is one of the first.
https://steemit.com/science/@mountainwashere/nature-identification-thread-2
@mountainwashere is busy with other things so I am leading Nature Identification Contest until they choose to come back. So to answer your question, it has been going for over two years. Thanks to you and @ntowl too.
Cheers!
That's what I was thinking. I reviewed your contest and the only thing preventing it from addition to the recurring list is the requirement to upvote the post. This conflicts with our guidelines for recurring contests.
If you decide to remove that contest entry requirement and would like to be reviewed for addition to our recurring contests list, please let us know. Recurring contests are included in every contest post and have a rotating Feature at top of contest list.
Cool! That is easy enough! I'll remove the upvote requirement. No worries.
I'll edit the active post and make sure that it is the same from here forward.
Thanks for this suggestion and for your consideration.
Everything cool now?
Thanks!
Thanks for the response. I will let @ntowl know and we will get back to you if there is anything else.
Edit:
We found this previous one- https://steemit.com/steembasicincome/@snowyknight/nature-identification-contest-nic-win-sbi-and-have-fun-steembasicincome-v-2
Was there another in between that I missed? Are you planning on running this weekly or monthly?
For recurring we prefer at least weekly so that there's always an ongoing contest members can enter when we publish our lists.
Hey cool!
Thanks for your reply. Yes weekly!
Thanks again and have a great weekend!
