The Marvelous Tales Contest
In honor of all the creativity here on Steemit, I'm hosting the Marvelous Tales Contest.
The idea is simple: I give you two words, and you build your tale around these two words. You could write a story, make a comic or video, use a drawing or photo to accompany your tale, or even write a song. You can submit your entry by creating a post dedicated to this contest.
I will be picking the winner based on originality, creativity and entertainment value. Subjected, ofcourse, to my personal opinion, but I try to be as fair as I can!
Last week's results:
This week's pickings come from our guest judge @geke. Thank you very much for judging the contest!
Third place
We only had two entries this week.
Second place
@irastra's entry won 0.219 SBD
First place
@svashta's entry won 0.395 SBD
@geke mentions:
I enjoyed both pieces, but picked the winner because it was closer to a work of fiction than the other one.
Congrats to the winners!
Proof of payout
Extra reward
As an added bonus, @geke is handing out some extra SBD to the two winners! @irastra will receive 5 SBD for winning second place and @svashta will receive 10SBD for winning first place. Please give her some time to transfer the prizes to you.
Thank you very much for the bonus prizes @geke!

Hello. I wrote a story about dancing and robots, and I thought it would simply imply silver coloured metallic machines. Anyway, thanks for organizing this, and here we go: https://steemit.com/marveloustales/@zycr22/marvelous-tales-16-the-dancing-partner
