My dear steemians, it's time to get moving!

I present you the #steemitathlete channel.

I can't say I don't encourage you all to be active on this platform and keep posting and sharing things daily, but sitting behind the computer for the most part of our day ain't that good.

That's why I decided to create not one, but TWO sport contests, that'll get you all moving.

I'll soon be making even more contests and challenges for the #steemitathlete channel, so stay tuned.

You're getting rewarded for being active. It's a win-win.

Now let's get down to business.

Contest number one:

I'm calling out all the cyclists to share their weekly adventures! If you own a bicycle, why don't you take it for a spin? Show us where you've cycled last week and win free SBD in this #hotwheels contest!

Keep in mind, the contests will not be judged by distance or altitude traveled. As these two factors will make for bonus points, the primary factor in judging will be CONTEXT, meaning, it doesn't really matter if you're just beginning with cycling or you're already a seasoned athlete. Heck, you might even want to start cycling because of this, you're getting rewarded for it. Anyhow, if you can make your cycling trip to the supermarket interesting, then so be it.

The rules are:

-the post title has to start with "STEEMIT HOTWHEELS CONTEST #1", where the number represents the week of the competition
-you HAVE to use #hotwheels as your first tag and #steemitathlete as any other
-only one entry per week
-one "proof-photo" must be present - MUST include your bicycle and a selfie/note with the date that matches the competitions date
-entries must be submitted by the deadline, which will be every TUESDAY AT 23:00 GMT, to give everyone enough time to process their weekend adventures

Other than that, feel free to travel wherever you want. Just stay safe on the road.

There will be THREE JUDGES for this competition:

• the first one is going to be @sirsensei(creator of #drawitbetter contest)
• @kid4life will be the second(creator of the TALENT/WEED contests)
• I'll be the third

THE REWARDS ARE AS FOLLOWING:

• 3 SBD TO THE WINNER
• 2 SBD TO THE SECOND
• 1 SBD TO THE THIRD

AS I WANT TO ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU TO DO SOME CYCLING EACH WEEK, 50% OF THE SBD RAISED BY THIS POST WILL BE SPLIT AMONG ALL PARTICIPANTS EQUALLY(the other 50% is reserved for the second competition).

ANYONE THAT PARTICIPATES WILL GET THEIR SHARE.

Contest number two:

Not much of a cycling type? Then you should try the #mountaingoat contest! I believe that at least once a week one must go outside and connect with the nature. Either by going to the top of a nearby hill, climbing a whole mountain or just having a relaxed walk through the forest.

Show us where you've hiked last week and win free SBD!

Once again, the primary factors to determine who's the winner won't be distance or altitude traveled, while they WILL play a bigger role than in the #hotwheels contest. The main factor will still be CONTEXT. You can visit the same hill each week, the point of this contest is to BE ACTIVE. Show us how you get out there every week and be rewarded.

The rules are:

-the post title has to start with "STEEMIT MOUNTAINGOAT CONTEST #1", where the number represents the week of the competition
-you HAVE to use #mountaingoat as your first tag and #steemitathlete as any other
-only one entry per week
-one "proof-photo" must be present - MUST include a selfie/note with the date that matches the competitions date
-entries must be submitted by the deadline, which will be every TUESDAY AT 23:00 GMT, to give everyone enough time to process their weekend adventures

There will be THREE JUDGES for this competition:

• @mountaingoat as the first one(obviously)
• @shakazula as the second
• and I'll be the third

THE REWARDS ARE THE FOLLOWING:

• 3 SBD TO THE WINNER
• 2 SBD TO THE SECOND
• 1 SBD TO THE THIRD

AS I WANT TO ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU TO DO SOME KIND OF HIKING EACH WEEK, 50% OF THE SBD RAISED BY THIS POST WILL BE SPLIT AMONG ALL PARTICIPANTS EQUALLY(the other 50% is reserved for the first competition).

ANYONE THAT PARTICIPATES WILL GET THEIR SHARE.

ANYONE THAT PARTICIPATES IN BOTH COMPETITIONS WILL GET AN UPVOTE FROM ALL THE JUDGES.

Because, you know, there HAS to be some extra reward for the true sportsmen.

I'll be increasing the rewards as much as I can afford as the competition progresses. I'm also looking for fundraisers to keep #steemitathlete growing. Have fun with the competitions!

If you have any ideas or suggestions on how to make these contests better, feel free comment!
