I've been running my WILD & STRANGE contest for weeks now, and a lot of us have been having a lot of fun.
In Round 1, steemians had to submit a photo entry of themselves with their face hidden and include a tree and a steemit logo in the photo.

I had a lot of very interesting entries... but in the end @ballinconscious won with this entry:

Then, in Round 2, steemians had to create a piece of art based on the winning photo from Round 1.

Again the entries poured in and I had some tough choices to make, but in the end @rigaronib won with this entry:

Next, in Round 3, steemians had to enter a meme that they made using the winning meme from Round 2.

It was another tough call, but @meesterboom came out on top with this entry:

Round 4 kept the progression going by having steemians write original poetry based on the winning meme from Round 3.
Many of our talented steemians entered, and eventually @charleys was declared the winner with this poem:
Bigfoot is often seen in the far northwest
In the high mountains and forests he likes best
But sometimes he wanders near to a town
And what he sees there causes him to frown
Funny looking things, small and surreal
He often wonders can they somehow be real
But then he searched steemit to reach a conclusion
And he learned humans were real and not an illusion
So, for Round 5, steemians were challenged to create an original song using the winning poem from Round 4 as part of the lyrics.
HERE IS MY EXAMPLE, AND THE ENTRIES:
EXAMPLE: "People are Real" - @papa-pepper
ENTRY : "The Bigfoot Song" - @verbal-d
LATE ENTRY: "BIGFOOT THE TECHNOLOGICAL GUY" - @ballinconscious
FIRST OFF, I NEED YOUR HELP!
Which entry do you think should win Round 5?
@dailybitcoinnews
@anarchrysalis
@verbal-d
SECONDLY, CAN I CONTINUE THIS SEASON OF THE CONTEST?
THIRDLY, I THINK THIS WAS A FANTASTIC TIME AND A GREAT WAY TO CREATE SOMETHING NEW TOGETHER. WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO RUN A SECOND SEASON OF THE WILD & STRANGE CONTEST?

Tricky on where to go. Maybe if it ended here this could be the recurring theme for future ones. Photo entry, art, meme, poem then song. Pretty dashed good if it was that!

Yeah, I was thinking about just starting over again with the same progression, it works really well and allows for a lot of entries from different steemians.
Thanks for your input, and now that people know where we will be going, it may help too!

After hearing all the performers, I got the idea from @ballinconscious, whose song I liked the best, to suggest a performance in the form of a radio play.

This is just a fantastic initiative! It really captures the essence of the Steemit community in general. Diversity has been the keyword, and that's what this contest is all about. I've been following this ever since the art round wrapped up, and it's amazing to see how much it evolved. I tried to write up a poetry entry, but the words failed me and I missed the deadline. Looking forward to seeing the outcome!

lol sorry, Mr. Forgetful has just left my mental building. You know how I am, and please don't forget why I wrote that poem. It was a forewarning for all my future slip ups! lol It's like a case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I have just messaged you the code in steemit.chat.

I haven't joined in on a single one of these awesome challenges, but I am with you anyway. I love these collaborations and the camaraderie that comes from invoking such play. Thanks for hosting this @papa-pepper. I'd love to see it go another round with so many avenues of expression.
I'm a @verbal-d fan! Good stuff!

Very wild. And to answer a question you had earlier, I agree with those that say that you should just repeat the format for this contest for any new ones you come up with.
I can't claim that I inspired the songs, but I am sure glad that you chose to make my poem the centerpiece of the musical efforts.
