Welcome to the SECOND Steemit Sole Survivor Contest!

After the success of the First Steemit Sole Survivor Contest, I wanted to run the competition again for upcoming Season of Survivor, starting February 20th airing on CBS.

Before getting to the current contest I wanted to again congratulate the winners of the First Steemit Sole Survivor Contest: @mimismartypants, @aussieninja, and @stever82 who split the 20 Steem Grand Prize and @doctorcrypto who won @o07's Ounce of Silver bonus round.

Without further ado, let's get into the Second Steemit Sole Survivor Contest. Set in the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji, the theme of this season is Edge of Extinction.

Survivors Ready? Go!

With the official cast revealed for Survivor Season 38 - Edge of Extinction, I'm very pleased to introduce the SECOND ever in history...

Worth Playing For? (The Prizes)

• WINNER: 20 STEEM* to the Steemian who correctly guesses the winner of Survivor 38 - The Edge of Extinction by Wednesday the 20th of February at 9am Eastern Standard Time (EST).

• ADDITIONAL PRIZES: May be added if we pick up sponsorships along the way.

* Astute readers will notice I don't actually have 20 Steem to give away at the moment. Not to worry, dear Steemians, I'm planning on saving up the prize along the way as I did last year.

Steemit Sole Survivor Contest Rules

• Pick the ONE contestant who you think will be the winner at the end of this season of Survivor - The Edge of Extinction. Guesses must be placed in the comment section of THIS POST by the Wednesday the 20th of February at 9am Eastern Standard Time (EST). At that point, your choice will be locked. Until that time, feel free to edit, delete, change as desired. I will create a final post summarizing everyone's final and locked picks.

• If more than one Steemian correctly picks the Sole Survivor, the 20 Steem prize will be split evenly between those with the winning pick.

• If no Steemian guesses correctly, prizes will be as follows: 15 STEEM for the Steemian whose contestant remains in the game the longest, 5 STEEM for the Steemian that stays in second longest.

• Survivor seasons can be unpredictable - I'll do my best to fairly distribute the prizes in case of any ties or major twists!

Come on in guys!

It is Time to Vote

This contest is ON! Out of the 18 Survivor - The Edge of Extinction contestants pictured/listed above, who do you think will be this season's winner/Sole Survivor?

Let's see those guesses in the comment section below!

Previously on Survivor

@suitcasemama and I are huge (and extremely nerdy) fans of the American reality show called Survivor. You know the one - where you have to survive on a deserted island, play silly challenges, and vote people off the island. I gave away 20 Steem during last season's First Steemit Sole Survivor Contest and also ran Weekly Survivor competitions with free give aways. I'm back this season for round two.

The Tribe Has Spoken

I will also occasionally run weekly contests where you will guess who's next to be voted off the island. I may run a mid-season contest as well, depending on interest. These are in addition to this main contest so they will be in separate posts. Look for those announcements, coming soon!

Good luck to all and I hope you enjoy the contest!
