The time has come for me to host my first contest and ask...
That's a Broad Question!
What would you do on your Homestead with $50 SBD?
How Awesome Would It Be?
Contest Inspiration
Many of us over at the SteemitHomesteaders slack community have been running contests lately. As the last few were finishing up, I decided I wanted to host a contest to share the fun and present you with the challenge that goes into submitting a post for the chance to win!
I wanted to do something different with my contest. I wanted the payout reward to be BIG and the topic to force you to be creative, resourceful, and thrifty; all talents common with Homesteaders, Gardeners, Preppers, and Like-Minded individuals!
Hey, that sounds familiar...
That's because it's how I commonly describe the people in the SteemitHomesteaders slack community! And it's these types of people I am catering my contest toward.
Contest Description
Write a post telling me what you would do with the $50 from this contest. Show me you know how to maximize the reward and transform this digital cryptocurrency into something lasting and tangible!
Include photos to back up or support your post, as well as help tell your story. I'm a photos kind of guy.
Be specific and detailed in how you will execute your thing. I'm a details kind of guy.
Rules & Requirements
- Deadline for submission: Friday, August 11th at 11:59 PM (UTC)
- Include at least 2 graphics. 1 must be an original of your own creation (photograph, drawing, graphical design, etc)
- Upvote this post
- Resteem this post
- Leave a link to your entry post as a comment below - THIS WILL BE HOW I FIND ALL ENTRIES
- You do not have to be a member of the SteemitHomesteaders slack group to enter or win.
- You do not have to be a homesteader to win. Hence the "like-minded" term above.
- Projects are not limited to homestead uses. Gardeners, Preppers, Homeowners, Farmers, and more are just as worthy of receiving the reward. It's all about the post!
- It is expected that you will actually use the reward to do your thing and write a post on it.
- I want to spread the word about SteemitHomesteaders to those who have not yet heard about it or joined the community. I am a strong supporter of communities and helping each other learn and succeed on Steemit. Plus it's great to get to know each other in a casual way.
- The reward for this contest is large. I deposited the reward into my Steemit wallet myself from outside sources. I would like this to gain the greatest exposure.
Final Thoughts
I'm normally not a fan of a contest that makes you resteem the post. However, I justify it for two main reasons:
Let the Contest Begin
Thank you for participating, I look forward to reading everyone's entries!
I am not a poster and do not have a homestead (yet) but I think this is a great idea and contest so I am upvoting and resteeming. Look forward to seeing entries. Did you set a tag for this or just come back to this article?

I appreciate your vote and resteem, very much.
Entrants are to reply to this post with a link to their post. I had thought of making a custom tag, but have seen that method have some hiccups in other contests. Plus, anyone visiting here can see the entries easily, too.
Thank you again for the vote and resteem, really.

For me being a homesteader is a mindset. It is what you want and strive toward the way of becoming more reliant upon yourself. Some homesteaders live in apartments in the city, others in suburban homes with gardens while some have the opportunity to actually live VERY rural with livestock- to me there is not just one clear definition of homesteading/homestead/homesteader. It is what you want it to be and what makes you happy.
I already UPvoted and resteemed but will be back to make a post hopefully today
Good luck everyone!!

@greenacrehome
This question is so easy and relevant right now!!
I would get my laptop fixed. It stopped working 6 days ago and neither I nor my neighbor can figure it out! ;-(
I just started on Steemit in July, and things were going well, but since it broke.....everything is harder in making good content.
I have been able to post twice from my mobile phone, but need my laptop to post well and regularly!
I will try to do all the requirements with my phone! Hope so, because I def can use it!
Thanks for the contest, that is super generous! Peace!!!

Hi em3 in the meantime have you tried esteem app, I use it to browse but it is also very good for notifications and even lets you schedule posts. Might be worth a try if you are missing out on posting at all. Hope you get back online and without large expense.

What n awesome idea! And most generous too. I'm new to steemit but $50 could be put to good use in starting my chicken flock. We had Guinea Fowl but unfortuntely we had possums and raccoons were smarter than us! We have sine slved that problem by building what my son calls the "unpenetrable coop".
