THE END OF A CONTEST??? - Steemit Public Opinion Poll

in contest •  8 years ago  (edited)

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: "Bigfoot Steemit - People are Real" - @dailybitcoinnews


ENTRY : "The Bigfoot Song" - @anarchrysalis


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?

Where can I go from here?

A music video

A dance routine?

Anywhere?

Anything?

Got ideas?

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?


For those of you who are newer to steemit, @papa-pepper also has a comic series titled THE DAILY ADVENTURES OF THE LAST BIGFOOT that I ran for while. More episodes should be coming at some point.

Oh, the competition is tough :) Here is the direct link to my song on soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/verbald/the-bigfoot-song-feat-verbal-d-prod-by-verbal-d

and here is the soundcloud player as well

Thanks for that, I'll try to FULL POWER upvote this to the top of the comments.

You're welcome, I also up voted it, but to no avail. lol

Yeah, too many people liked what @meesterboom had to say.

Understandable indeed, it's all good. I know my place and I'll stay there lol

Lol, you are at the top now!

Hold on, maybe I can FLAG @meesterboom!

I think it's been great!

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!

Yes, I think a new start would be fun!

I think I will be restarting it!

I agree, that's a perfect way to do it :)

Thanks for the input!

Agreed. Song part is by far the toughest (at least for guys like me that can't carry a tune)

I was awfully tempted by the song part and can't sing a note!

That don't really matter, I'm pretty sure that I'm tone deaf!

Definitely next time!

Dammit!! :O)

Maybe next time?

I'm glad that you got in on the rest of the competitions!

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.

That would be interesting!

Thanks for sharing!

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!

Yeah, we will have to see how this one ends... and how the next one starts!

Hopefully I can submit an entry to the next one!

That would be great @jedau!

A music video is a good idea for a grand final!!!

I thought it could be cool and fun... we will see!

I'll be egging you on to "Do it" lol go ahead and flag @meesterboom, he is your twin brother after all, you're supposed to do things to annoy him. Only kidding of course. By the way, I can send you the soundcloud player embedded code to include in your post if you'd like? if it's not needed, then no worries, I'll send it to you on steemit.chat now just in case

sob .. no flagging! I upped the damned post!! Its on top... SPARE ME!!! ;o)

Aiyeee, the eerie stick men!!!

Haha, "Go get 'em boys!" (A seemingly eerie group of men run rapidly towards @meesterboom and rush up to him and suddenly lift him up surprisingly as a hero of Steemit, cheering and praising his good deeds) Thanks for rocketing my comment to the top @meesterboom

Hehe, that comment fair made me giggle. No problem dude!!

I was one of those eerie men!

Been 40 minutes.... still no soundcloud player in chat...

I nearly flagged by Twin just now.

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.

Thanks!

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!

Perhaps we will see you enter Season 2 of the Wild & Strange Contest.

Anything could happen!!!

Thank you always for your support my fellow Steemit sister, appreciate it indeed!

:D

I think the song by @verbal-d was the best, like @daveks said, "by a hair."

Thanks @charleys - pretty wild stuff huh?

Just look at all the songs you inspired!

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.

Yeah, I figured that we had maybe the run the course of this first contest and that it was time for the next season following the same progression!

Thanks @charleys!

hh very nice blog @papa-pepper

Thanks @araki, I'm glad that you liked, liked, liked, liked, liked, liked, liked it!

Ok this was tougher then I thought, just re-listened again to the entries and I'm going to have to give it to @verbal-d by a hair!

Thanks for the input!

Thanks for putting up my entry in this post anyway! All these contest have Been a fun ride.

Was having trouble uploading to YouTube all day, which cause be to miss the deadline by two hours:(. Wasn't sure if it was my ISP Or YouTube. Anyway thanks again.

Yeah, your entry was way too good not to include, and I hate those technological issues, as I have had a lot since starting steemit.

Stoopid deadlines...

Thanks! ^_^ Yeah but it's ok, I learned something new from this experience! I can encode my videos in a certain way to make them upload faster....I just don't know how to yet!

Agreed, stupid indeed >_<

I think I'll have to get ready for season 2!

Yes, Indeed! I will be training myself and advancing my game for when the time comes!
