It's simple! Everyone can enter! Everyone can have a chance to win! However, you have to play by the rules!
We had some great entries this week that missed some of our rules so please make sure to read them below!
Creating this contest for me, is a huge piece of my heart. I love food, healing and sharing inspiration and adapting my diet truly changed my life! It's wonderful to have you here, submitting pieces of your heart to me and sharing this with the world! I love it and am so happy I started this and am hoping it only continues to grow <3
My intent is to bring awareness, conversation and relationship over the concept of veganism/plant-based foods... whether or not you are vegan does not matter! You can enter anyway!
How Winning Works:
I improved my winning system by using @papa-pepper's method of 50% of post payout going to 1st place, and 12.5% to a second place and third place each!
Remember, if you don't put your link on this post, I may not find it! Also, another reminder to please mention this contest in your post... I am wanting other vegans/plant-based/foodies/interested Steemians to be able to find where we have our fun!
ππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππ
Rules of the game:
I am notchyourmotha! I'm not here to tell you what or what not to eat but my contest, my rules so your entry must be vegan/plant-based ie: nothing can come from an animal!
As my loving and open rules state- you, yourself do not need to be vegan to enter this contest but your post does have to be! That means if it's a recipe please be sure to remember that animal products are not vegan! If you need help, feel free to comment and ask me!
What day can I enter?
Originally I had meant for this to be a Wednesday only challenge however, I've extended it so that you can enter whatever day you want (much easier for you to enter that way!), but I will release the winners for the week on Wednesdays so the cutoff for the week will be Monday at 12UTC to give me time to go through them all. If you submit after that time, don't worry! I will consider your entry for the following week!
What's love got to do with it?
Please mention this contest in your post! I am trying to get a friendly community together here with similar interests so the more people who can find us, the more we can grow, the more we can learn, the more we can love! If you meet someone vegan-licious or plant-based-tastic, invite them to join in! The more the veggier!
How to participate:
Post what vegan means to you! This could be anything from vegan approved recipes (no animal products) to poems, to reviews... basically I am looking for vegan related content at your discretion (must be animal friendly!)
Tag it within #veganwednesday (using your first tag will help me find it!) and I will go through them every week, choosing a winner and announcing them each week!
If you do not tag it in #veganwednesday, sadly it can't count
Mention the contest in your post to promote vegan love across Steemitland!
Post your entry on each week's update (this post will serve as this week's, so post your submissions here!)
I will create a post announcing the winner each week along with any deserved mentions as to help foster a strong community bond for those of us who are trying to share our messages, love and inspiration with the world!
Only positive posts will be considered. This isn't a war for animal rights or a call out to tell people how to live! It's a loving, caring, sharing invitation to get to know each other and support our community!
Your content will be evaluated on how much heart you show! Pull on my heart strings and you got yourself a prize! <3
WINNER, WINNER (No Chicken Dinner!)
WEEK 4:
@creativewoman
Vegan Moroccan!
This is a beautifully crafted recipe by @creativewoman. She has been here with us on #veganwednesday every week expanding her vegan tastebuds and giving us delicious treats to explore! Thank you for your yummy recipes! Moroccan is one of my favorite types of foods... (OK, I love all food) ;)
<3
2nd Prize: $3.02 SBD
@thekitchenfairy
Banana Bread
If you haven't seen @thekitchenfairy's blog yet, be prepared to be impressed with how many recipes she is able to share with us! She is all over the place! <3 This week she won my heart because she had a bit of a fail on one of her attempts (vegan dishes happen this way sometimes due to substitutions) but the fun part is she owned it and made it into a new recipe! I love it! =D
3rd Prize: $3.02 SBD
@lenasveganliving
Caramel Delight 'King'!
@lenasveganliving never fails to impress! Her entry this week is just as delicious as usual. Great ingredients, great recipe, great photography and great woman! <3
Thank you to everyone who submitted an entry this week!
This contest is a way to bring the vegan/plant-based community together and show others what is possible through inspiration! You are all filling my heart up every week! Thank you for helping me share this knowledge and inspiration!
If you or anyone you know would like to sponsor a weekly prize, give me a shout over in Discord or Steemit.chat, the vegan community would be mighty grateful to have some more incentive to reward our lovely authors for their time!
I encourage you all to connect with each other if you feel drawn to- let's make this group a loving, supportive, engaging community to call home!

So you have all the way until next Wednesday to Submit entries?
Hi @synrg! You have until 12UTC Monday, I announce winners on Wednedays :) I hope you join us this week! That would be so fun!
Whoops, I missed that. But thank you :) I may have to join on the next round. And just to be sure, is that 12PM?
Yes, I was using military time units ;) so 12 PM UTC! Which means we're coming up on closing for this week (already!) BUT you can enter anytime, I just will count it towards the following week if you're past the entry line for this week!
I figured also it was 24h time... but yes never hurts to be sure, in case that ever happens again. Not that it should... now I can get all the head start that I want! π Thanks for hosting!!!
