Hello again friends! The other kind of contest I used to do besides photo scavenger hunts, was a random acts of kindness contest, so now let's do one of those, shall we?
How To Enter
Do a random act of kindness. Some ideas:
- Do a #cleanplanet litterwalk and pick up garbage littering in your neighborhood
- Boost someone else's post with #ecency points (pro tip: make sure it's a quality post and within the first 24 hours!)
- Do an #artabandonment project where you make cool art and leave it anonymously for someone to find (it helps to leave a note so people know they can take it)
- bake some goodies for your neighbors, coworkers, or classmates
- give money or food to someone who is homeless and/or hungry
- Buy an NFT For Peace on #hivebuzz to support mutual aid for Ukranians
- Volunteer somewhere
- Knit, crochet, sew for a stranger: blankets through Project Linus for sick and traumatized children, cat or dog blankets for shelter animals, making warm hats, scarves, socks, and mittens or gloves for homeless folks out in the cold, cancer caps for people going through chemo, etc. Making regular holiday gifts for friends and family that you might be doing anyway doesn't count for this, the idea is to do it for someone you don't know! :)
- Write a letter to elders who are lonely and could use some cheer through lettersagainstisolation.com or loveforourelders.org (show me proof that you did this but make sure not to post any addresses online!!). LAI has recipients in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, and Israel, I assume people could ask from anywhere in the world but those are the requests I've seen. There are LOTS of languages you can write in (you can filter by language), especially here in the US. If you speak Spanish, Arabic, Mandarin, Haitian Creole ...those are all ones I remember seeing requested!
Those are just some ideas, you can do a different random act of kindness if you want, just make sure it's a good one and not your normal holiday gift giving! :)
Make a post about your Act

Once again, Yuan will be doing the judging (as is his kitty right) of humans, as he did for my previous contest. 5 HSBI is the prize (@steembasicincome is votes for life on your posts, more/higher votes the more shares you have). Make your post and share it here before this post pays out!
More of you should enter, so I get more treats. -Yuan
Happy kindness-doing! :)
Update
@melinda010100 has generously donated 600 ecency points toward the prize pot! So depending on how many entries we get, I'm thinking I might split that between first, second, and third place? We only had two entries last time, though - so please do enter! More prizes! :)
Is there an end date fir contest entries?
Post payout is what I usually do, but I see that I didn't say that in post, sorry. I said it in Waves.
I only got one entry, so I think I will reward that person and do a part 3. I was hoping it would be different, but years ago when I did these, hardly anyone participated in the RAOK themed contests, either. :(
We just need to get more publicity! Start another one right away? I will work on helping get more publicity!
Wonderful initiative @phoenixwren ! I will support it with 2000 Ecency points, and @hive-190931 (FeelGood community) with 500 for the prize
and if participants could mention me @barbara-orenya to get my attention on their kindness post, so that I miss none, I will happily support each post with 100 Ecency points ;-)
