#SPILLTHEBEANS CONTEST 1

[cinnccf]

---

Hello Everyone,

Cinnamon Cup Coffee is delighted to announce that our creative writing contest #SPILLTHEBEANS has been re-vamped.

Not written in stone, but starting today, a topic will be presented every Monday for you to write on. There will be a countdown timer that needs to be observed for the deadline of entries. The entry deadline for posts will end on Wednesdays, with the countdown timer at the top and the bottom of this post, guiding you to the cut-off time.

This is a creative writing exercise, therefore you can weave your story however you like, but it MUST revolve around the topic presented.

Have fun peeps!

POST TOPIC: My Coffee Choice

There are three new coffee brands for sale at your local supermarket. Coffee A, B, & C. Each package grants you one wish upon drinking. The choices are: 1. (Coffee A): You could re-live any memory for two days only. 2. (Coffee B): You could erase any memory forever. 3. (Coffee C): You could make any wish come true, for just one day only. Which coffee would you choose? And why?

@new-spirit

We appreciate you inviting others to participate, but we beg of you to inform them that there's a specific topic with guidelines to follow to avoid their posts being muted too.
Should you decide to enter another week, it would be a great idea compulsory for you to read and follow the guidelines, and write about the topic presented.
See you around!

Alright, I'll try it next Monday. I hope I don't make the mistake again. Thank you for your support... Regards!

[millycf1976]

⚠️

URGENT NOTICE ALL

Edit: @jygy89

Please see the guidelines.
For this creative writing Contest, ONLY ENGLISH MUST be presented. You can use your translator, but it should not be included in your post.
Please read the guidelines carefully.

Please see messages from the Judges, in this post, advising that both only read and speak English.

This language rule is specifically for all contest entries.

Any post that has dual language will be muted without notification, simply because the contest is time-sensitive, and judges will not be able to notify each participant to edit a post, as following the guidelines is a pre-requisite for a valid entry.

Dual language posts prompt other authors to comment on your post in their native language.
Please note that engagement on your post counts, but ONLY if judges (community team) are able to comprehend what is written.

Thank you for your understanding.

[jygy89]

I'm sorry, when I read the rules I didn't understand it that way, I just thought it referred to 250 in English, but it was understood that in Spanish too because it's my language, but I fixed it, in case you still have the chance, thanks for taking the time to tell me.

[fabian98]

I didn't understand something, what is the topic about? I used translator and I think it didn't translate the information well?

[cinnccf]

@fabian98
Here's the plain text of the topic.
.
.
.

@crisch23, or @lisrl26 or @yosoyada Please could you explain further to Fabian in dual language, what this is about? Thanks!

[lisrl26]

Hola @fabian98 el concurso trata de tres opciones de café (A,B,C), cada uno te brinda una oportunidad distinta, como revivir un recuerdo, borrar un recuerdo o hacer un sueño realidad. Puedes utilizar tu imaginación o tomar un hecho real. Tienes hasta mañana miércoles para participar, lee bien las reglas. Cualquier otra duda estoy a la orden.
Suerte 😊

Hi @fabian98 the contest is about three coffee options (A,B,C), each one gives you a different opportunity, like reliving a memory, erasing a memory or making a dream come true. You can use your imagination or take a real event. You have until tomorrow Wednesday to participate, read the rules carefully. Any other questions I am at your service.
Good luck 😊

[cinnccf]

Thank you very much for this translation @lisrl26.
I hope you understand now @fabian98
Please see @lisrl26 and @crisch23 contest entries to the community.
It's very important to read the rules, use the right tag, apply the correct post title, and present only in English.
Thank you!!

[hivebuzz]

Dear @cinnccf, we need your help!

The Hivebuzz proposal already got important support from the community. However, it lost its funding a few days ago when the HBD stabilizer proposal rose above it.

May we ask you to support it so our team can continue its work?
You can do it on Peakd, Ecency,

Hive.blog / https://wallet.hive.blog/proposals

or using HiveSigner.

All votes are helpful and yours will be much appreciated.
Thank you!

[marioikada]

I want to make a post about this too, is it still possible to post today ?

[cinnccf]

The next topic will be posted on Monday.
