Before I start getting into the contest, I want to announce last week comment winners. For this contest I used steem comment picker and I have recorded a video on how I choose the winners. Here it is : video
The winners are :
I have sent 2 SBD each to your accounts. Good luck further !
dMania Contest
I have been thinking for a week on making a contest, which I hope that will improve the quality of memes,gifs and videos on dMania, but not only here. Being that at the moment I am posting memes and gifs only in dMania I will hold this contest only for dMania users, but will make a general contest soon as I start posting in other similar platforms on the steem blockchain. I am also stopping the comment contest which I will replace with this one.
I am holding this contest because I saw that many users find it more easy to just copy paste material from different sources like 9gag, reddit. That's not my problem. My problem is that they don't even bother to find good ones. It takes like 5-15 minutes to find a funny or interesting gif there, yet they copy paste what comes in handy and hope for the bot upvote which leads only to greed and nothing else.
Memes,gifs and videos are a form of comedy, if you use the right tools and try to come up with a creative idea. I'm not saying you should design memes and gifs from scratch, even tough you can always do that and it can become viral. I am saying that you should try to edit it somehow to make it as creative as you can to fall under "fair use" law and to make it yours. Use photoshop or different free editing programs that are out there. After you do this put a watermark on it so people will know who it belongs to. Even if other people will use it, because you can't restrict that, at least people will know who it belongs to.
Rules for the dMania Contest
I am allocating 6 SBD from my earnings to this contest. I will increase this or remove this depending on different factors like success of the contest, other donations for the contest, my productivity or adding more similar platforms to reward people.
The contest will be held each week and I will pick the winners every monday based on upvotes, comments and my personal taste
Prizes will look like this :
1st place - 3 SBD
2nd place - 2 SBD
3rd place - 1 SBD
Rules
DON'T FUCKING SPAM
DON'T FUCKING SPAM WITH COPY PASTED MEMES, I ALREADY KNOW MOST OF WHAT IS OUT THERE AND CAN EASILY MAKE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A ORIGINAL MEME AND A COPY PASTED ONE
DON'T FUCKING SPAM WITH DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS
SHARE YOUR Dmania OR STEEMIT LINK IN THE COMMENTS
Donations and support for this contest
Donations from other people are welcome. All donations will go to the winners and can increase the number of rewarded people. If I see a lot of interest and it will be a lot of work from my side, I will take a procentage from the donations as I will be using a lot of my time to work on this. If anyone thinks that this will be bad, I can only tell you that I value my time and so should you.

hi @equ1l1br1um , firstly thanks for this nice organization. I am new at dmania, I am trying to make good posts for dmania, you can see them in my feed but I made this for your contest . I hope it obeys the rule. thanks again. https://steemit.com/dmania/@architect1406/someone-wants-you-to-like-their-post-but-its-not-enough-for-them-they-forced-you-to-upvote-zg1hbmlh-szezp
someone wants you to like their post, but its not enough for them, they forced you to upvote :)
It's great a user is creating a contest for community!
This will probably encourage users to create quality content. At least, they will try to edit and customize photos/gifs/videos if they can't create it from scratch.
Good luck for all participants =)
dMaina Contest Hope this plan is going to be great and you will get great support!
Thank you. I hope this will improve the quality of posts on dMania and also prevent abusers from getting the upvote from the bot.

Here comes the champion...
Do we have to post our dmania meme's in a reply here as well?
Hello, yes. I can't see them if you don't post them here. dMania doesn't show the username on the site when posting a meme or gif.
Ok then here is the link to my meme... https://steemit.com/dmania/@steemit-joy/guess-what-his-striking-coach-is-ronda-rousey-zg1hbmlh-cjqnk

The contest is held every week from monday to sunday. It starts every monday and it ends on sunday. Prizes are sent on monday.
Ok thanks for the infos

entry for the contest
Oh wow i didnt realize you sent me SBD and that i won the comment contest or that there was a contest! Thanks!
Thank you also. I was holding a comment contest last week, now I changed it to this contest for dMania, which I hope will last a long time. It's held every week and I believe it can improve some stuff. Cheers
This is brilliant, at least if everyone starts putting their own content, then dmania will prosper. I don't do a lot of memes, but if you want to see the few ones I create then you can see at my profile.
Will check them out. You can always enter the contest here also by putting the links to your work from dMania. Peace

Here is my last meme https://steemit.com/dmania/@focusedguy/cat-is-angry-because-of-cheap-food-zg1hbmlh-izhcz
Do you recommend using the "meme promotion" and "interesting posts" channels in discord?
@focusedguy I think "meme promotion" and "interesting posts" are a good way to make your content a little visibile. But I don't know if someone looks there, but maybe I am wrong and people scroll in there, just that I have the feeling that people just go there to post their links and they don't look further, but maybe they see the last one, so at least you will get 2-3 viewers if that is the case.
Hi @equ1l1br1um,
Here's a link to mine......Plz Have a look at it.

Can I join this contest with a gif post like that ? if its not ok sorry. I can prepare a meme my next post. thanks for the contest @equ1l1br1um
https://steemit.com/dmania/@forsteemit/a-whale-giving-downvote-to-poor-minnow-zg1hbmlh-baj66
@forsteemit No, sorry, it's just a copy paste content. Try editing a gif or meme, making something original from scratch or mixing gifs and memes. After that you can apply in the next post that you make. Cheers
ok @equ1l1br1um I just catch it. I will try to make good one. thanks for your explanation and advice
