I am finally very close to reaching my goal of 1000 POB Power. To be more exact, less than 5 POB away from it. And, as I said in my Saturday reflections, that when I reached 1000 POB Power I was going to start a contest, I'm going to go ahead and start it right now.
And I have named this contest "Just Writee".
I know, the name is not original at all but, first I am very bad at naming things and I go for the easiest and most obvious as in this case, and this brings me to the second point of why this contest has that name.
To participate in the contest you have to literally just write, nothing more and nothing less.
Yes, by the simple fact of writing you are already participating in this contest. My idea is to do a little bit of curatorship during this first week and choose authors with posts that I find interesting for some reason and from that list of authors choose three winners through a raffle.
Of course, as always, there are certain requirements that must be met in order to participate in the raffle, which I will list below:
- Only posts that are written through the POB interface will be accepted.
- Only authors with less than 400 POB Power will be selected.
- You can use the #just-write TAG if you prefer, but it is not mandatory.
The topic is of course free. You can write about whatever you want. There are no limits in this regard. And posts will be accepted in two languages, English and Spanish.
What are the prizes?
The prizes will be POB Power delegations for three weeks. **First place will receive a delegation of 100 POB Power, second place will receive a delegation of 75 POB Power and third place will receive a delegation of 50 POB Power.
My idea is to do this contest twice a month so we can have six winners every month. For now I don't plan to put a limit on how many times in a row someone can win the contest. I think that if someone is that good at writing and has that much luck in the raffles, he or she will probably also pass the 400 POB Power very soon, which automatically disqualifies him or her from participating in the contest.
And depending on how well I do at writing and increasing my POB Power, I will be able to increase either the number of winners or the amount of POB Power delegated or both.
Of course, it goes without saying that if anyone sees an interesting post written by a new author in the community, I invite you to leave me the link in the comments of this post. I will be very grateful!
Next Monday I will make a post with the list of the authors chosen during this week and links to their respective posts and in it I will also announce the winners of this first edition of the "Solo Escribe" contest.
So you know, starting right now and during all this week, "Just Write" and win!
In case you don't know there is another contest in POB made by @calumam and already in its fifth edition, the "POB Word of the Week".

Estoy finalmente muy cerca de alcanzar mi objetivo de llegar a los 1000 POB Power. Para ser más exacto, a menos de 5 POB de lograrlo. Y como dije en mis reflexiones sabatinas que cuando llegara a los 1000 POB Power iba a comenzar un concurso, me voy a adelantar un poquito y lo voy a empezar ya mismo. A este concurso le he puesto por nombre "Solo Escribe".
Yo se, el nombre no es para nada original pero es que, primero yo soy muy malo para poner nombres a cosas y me voy por lo más fácil y evidente como en este caso, y esto me lleva al segundo punto de porque este concurso tiene ese nombre.
Para participar en el concurso hay que literalmente solo escribir, nada más y nada menos.
Pues sí, por el simple hecho de escribir ya se participa en este concurso. Mi idea es hacer un poco de curaduría durante esta primera semana y elegir autores con posts que me parezcan interesantes por algún motivo y entre esa lista de autores elegir tres ganadores a través de una rifa.
Por supuesto, como siempre pasa, hay ciertos requisitos que hay que cumplir para poder participar en la rifa y que voy a enumerar a continuación:
- Sólo se aceptarán los posts que se escriban a través de la interfaz de POB.
- Sólo se seleccionarán los autores que tengan menos de 400 POB Power.
- Pueden usar el TAG #just-write si así lo prefieren pero no es obligatorio.
El tema por supuesto es libre. Se puede escribir sobre lo que uno quiera. No hay limites en este sentido. Y se aceptarán posts en dos idiomas, Ingles y Español.
Los premios cuales son?
Pues los premios será delegaciones de POB Power por tres semanas. Al primer lugar se le delegarán 100 POB Power, el segundo lugar recibirá una delegación de 75 POB Power y para el tercer lugar la delegación será de 50 POB Power.
Mi idea es hacer este concurso dos veces al mes para así poder tener seis ganadores todos los meses. Por ahora no pienso poner un límite en las veces seguidas que alguien puede ganar el concurso. Creo que si alguien es tan bueno escribiendo y tiene tanta suerte en las rifas, seguramente también pasará muy pronto la suma de los 400 POB Power, lo que lo descalifica automáticamente para participar en el concurso.
Y dependiendo de lo bien que me vaya a mi escribiendo y aumentando mi POB Power podré ir aumentando, o bien la cantidad de ganadores, o la cantidad de POB Power delegado o las dos cosas.
Por supuesto, no está de mas decir que si alguien ve un post interesante escrito por un autor nuevo en la comunidad, le invito a que me deje el enlace en los comentarios de este post. Le estaré muy agradecido!
El lunes que viene haré un post con la lista de los autores elegidos durante esta semana y enlaces a sus posts respectivos y en el mismo también daré a conocer los ganadores de esta primera edición del concurso "Solo Escribe".
Así que ya sabes, a partir de ya mismo y durante toda esta semana, "Solo Escribe" y gana!
Por si no lo saben hay otro concurso en POB hecho por @calumam y que ya va por su quinta edición, el "POB Word of the Week".
Awesome, thank you for the entry! I look forward to reading the post Monday. I like the fact you will link the articles as well, so everyone can read them if they wish.
great initiative friend, I have a goal quite similar to the one you have already reached and this helps a lot in terms of interaction within the community,
I hope to see some good entries, and thus also support with some curation!
That's one of the main ideas of all this. To discover new authors, good posts and share the wealth to more people.

Great idea and i like that you're limiting it to folks with low pob power. I plan to do a giveaway for those below 100 pob power if/when i reach 1,000 pob power as well. Everybody loves a giveaway lol.
Soory! I just answered with my old profile that I am deactivating. My mistake :)

I'm liking it, nice and simple and it's going to help out those with lower stakes. Magic!
Congratulations on the milestone mate, I've matched your current staked POB with a 1,000 POB delegation (will keep it on till the end of June 2021), hope it helps with curating more people and helping to build your own stake.
Oh buddy, thank you so much for the delegation!!! I'm sure going to put it to good use in the time I'll have it. The contest idea also carries, on my part, a deeper curation of posts.
That is the idea. I didn't want to get too complicated because people who are starting out (the ones who need the most) don't know where to look to get the most. My idea is to give them that initial push, at least to some of them. That push is something that is very much appreciated in any similar circumstance. Like for example when you leave your country to a new one (as I did). That initial help to get started is always welcome. That's more or less what I want to achieve here. And make it in a very simple way for those new users. They just need to write 😃
You're more than welcome mate, easy mode on that decision, lol.
I agree, I've been thinking over that lately too. @dwayne16 and @marvinix started a new initiative the other day called POB Daily which I think is a good introduction too. As long as people are hooked, they'll start reading and seeing all the other amazing content and will start to get a feel for the standard we've grown accustomed too here. I'll be sure to swing by the #just-write tag myself every now and then to throw around some fun tokens.
