Today I'd like to talk about the "Supernatural Writing Contest" that @jerrybanfield is sponsoring and that I am helping with. I am very excited by this contest and all the beautiful stories that authors on Steemit have already started to produce.
We see a lot of contests on Steemit, but one more time, Jerry Banfield is innovating with the topic of the contest and the prizes that will be given away.
Would You Like to Participate in the Supernatural Writing Contest?
If you have been struggling having your posts in Steemit seen and have a supernatural original story to share, this is your chance. It is not an ordinary contest where there is a first prize, second prize and third prize, and then nothing for the other participants.
In this Supernatural Writing Contest, everyone wins if the basic requirements are met. Jerry is showing the topics you can write about below.
3 main requirements:
- New original story, not already published elsewhere and not copied or partially copied from another website or book.
- 1,000 words minimum.
- On topic.
If these 3 requirements are met, a bid of 10 STEEM/SBD will be sent to @jerrybanfield's bot to upvote your post. That's about $50 in rewards that you can receive for the post.
If you do not have an original story, please do not participate. All stories are checked with https://www.copyscape.com and if they are not unique they are rejected.
Read Jerry Banfield's post for all details: Supernatural Writing Contest!

It should be ok. I am looking forward reading it @isteemithard.
Hi @gmichelbkk I wrote my story and submitted under the tag jerrybarnfield with an "r". I immediately noticed my error and tried to edit the tag and I ended up messing up and having two copies of my story. I don't know how to delete posts on Steemit so please check my correctly tagged entry here https://steemit.com/jerrybanfield/@insculpt/2x1e9n-my-near-death-experiences-swc
Thank you @insculpt. Just edit the duplicate with one sentence saying it's cancelled with a link to new post maybe and save. Can't delete posts.
Is my story in the queue? It's day 3 already since I posted it and soon it will be payout day. Just wondering if it will be read in time.
Thank you.
Yes.
@gmichelbkk what is the last date to submit story ?
There is no last date, it is currently open indefinitely.
Can i submit two stories?
Not at the moment because we want to give a chance to everyone to have a post upvoted.
Here@gmichelbkk Please check my story
Thank you, I will.
Still you didn't check my story...
That's good decision.
Submitted mine yesterday! I was so excited to get a chance to share my store and inspire others. Thank you @jerrybanfield and @gmichelbkk for this incredible opportunity to impact the Steemit community.
I am looking forward reading your story @kenmelendez.
Hello @gmichelbkk
Please visit my blog also, It's my true story and I never thought of sharing this with the world, But if you'll at least read it and share your comment then it would help me a lot to overcome my anxiety.
Please I need one comment from You and @jerrybanfield 🙄
I don't know whether my post deserves an Upvote or not but I feel it deserves your feedback.
Can You Sense Your Future?
♨ Thank You ♨
Your story will be read and I'll write a comment. I am cofident that you will get an upvote as well. We have 80+ stories to go through!
Hi, Michel. I saw post from Jerry about 'Supernatural contest'. I comment on his post, but not sure will he see it because there is many comments. I will appreciate if you can pass this comment to him:
@jerrybanfield If I can ask you for one favour...
I had many 'supernatural' experiences. I quoted supernatural because that experiences are super real and much more common then people think. Also that word make sort of fear from it, so our mind don't like to talk about it. If we called it little bit different maybe we will talk more about it...
But that is not what I want to ask favour rom you. Like I said, I had many supernatural experiences:
...and much more experiences.
What I ask favour from is you choosing what my experience you want hear about...
Thanks :)
Maybe Jerry will see your message, maybe he won't. I would be keen to read about your universe travel, but the other topics seem interesting too!
Michel thank you for making this contest possible with your help reading the stories!

The Girl That Lives in my Dreams ~ @jerrybanfield's Supernatural Writing Contest - SWC
hope you drop by =)
I will @coderzairos.
Hi Michel! Ahhh so, I saw about this on Jerry's page... but I didn't realize from his page that @jerrybanfield had to be the first tag.
I'm new on steemit...I didn't realize that the tag order made a difference.
I just tried to change it...but no matter how I update it, "story" keeps being my first tag!
Are you guys still going to read it at least? It's ok if I don't qualify for an upvote because of the mistake...
I guess I just want to know if it will still be read because I was inspired by the contest to tell a story I've never told before, and it's kinda scary putting yourself out there like that!
Please let me know if you know how I can fix the tags. I'd really appreciate it/ do appreciate your time.
Thanks so much!!
The tag is here to help us the stories, but you can put the link here so I don't miss it.
Omg thank you!!! You're the best!!! Here it is: https://steemit.com/story/@nomadicsoul/have-you-ever-seen-a-shadow-figure-supernatural-writing-contest
Thank you, I've got it.
here@gmichelbkk i was wondering, do all post for this contest get the upvote or only qualified post. I posted mine yesterday and hopefully i think it meets the criteria because i followed all instructions but seems my post haven't been seen. You can find it
Yes, like any contest, the requirements have to be met. We have a hundred of submission, so it's going to take time to read them all.
I’m not sure if mine has been read yet but I’m eager to hear what you guys think!!
here is the link
Read with caution...
We are looking for new and original stories, maybe you have another story in mind you would like to tell and submit again.It's a good story, but unfortunately it was already published here: https://steemit.com/competition/@theessential/wolfje-photography-competition-submission-with-story
I’m working on my new story. I’ll publish it tomorrow. I apologize for overlooking the rule about using new Material- I actually didn’t realize it was clearly posted as a rule. I just wanted to be clear that I wasn’t trying to be deceptive. I was just eager to have my story heard and overlooked the rule.
I reread the initial post and my new submission will meet the qualifications.
Thanks @gmichelbkk
That’s fair. I knew it was taking a risk posting it for the contest. I wasn’t sure since it was used for the photo instead of the story In regards to the previous post. Thanks for letting me know.
With that being said, are you saying that it’s not too late to post a different story..
I have quite a few actually that I could tell- that aren’t posted anywhere.
No problem! This give us the opportunity to have a new awesome story from you. Many people submitted stories much too short as well when 1000+ words is a requirement.!
Hello @gmichelbkk I worked part of the day and all night on my new submission.
Hope you like it- it’s a little lengthy
https://steemit.com/jerrybanfield/@theessential/ouija-a-game-that-never-sleeps-supernatural-writting-contest
I have it. Thank you.
Great contest. I hope to participate to this contest
Thank you. You are welcome to participate any time.
I hope you will @acehpungo.
I joined steemit a few days ago and sort of stumbled across the supernatural writing contest. I have enjoyed reading various stories from different sources and backgrounds. Can i submit a story based on the supernatural from the African perspective? That is if you won't mind.
That will be very interesting @cheekah. It has to be a new story, original and +1000 words.
Many thanks to both of you @jerrybanfield and @gmichelbkk for the Supernatural Writing Contest. I loved working on it, and posted my entry (God is the author of our first and last breath) about 9 hours ago.
But I'm very new to Steemit, and I got a confusing bandwidth-error message when I tried to upload it. So, could you possibly confirm for me that my entry has indeed been received in good order?
I see the story here: https://steemit.com/jerrybanfield/@mariconmalayao/god-is-the-author-of-our-first-and-last-breath-swc Thank you for participating @mariconmalayao.

I really hope you like my story, for me it was good to remember this visit so real of other world https://steemit.com/jerrybanfield/@carrilloisa/while-i-sleeped-supernatural-writing-contest-swc
I see your story and it's going to be read soon. Only one entry per person at the moment to give a chance to everyone.
hello @gmichelbkk and @jerrybanfield, I am a bit dismayed, my publication I think it has not been read by you, I do not know if you fail to comply with any of the rules of the contest, although I have verified and believe I have complied with the requirements, I would like to know if there is anything that This is bypassing without knowing it. I really love the opportunity to tell this kind of stories that I do not know if many stop doing it for fear of being judged or anything. Anyway, thank you for the opportunity provided.
It's in my list, it should be read today @carrilloisa.
I entered the contest.
