πŸ†The EmojiPoetry Challenge - Week 5 πŸ†

in emojipoetry β€’Β  8 years agoΒ  (edited)

Welcome to the contest anyone can enter for the chance to win SBD ! Here's all you'll need to do:

  1. Write a poem in words and translate it into emojis or (vice versa)
  2. Create a post that features both versions of your poem
  3. Tag your post with the hashtag #emojipoetry
  4. Put a link to your post below in the comments
  5. Upvote AND Resteem this post (your entry only counts if you do BOTH)

Not sure what an emoji poem might look like ? Here's an example:

Brave minnow dreams of
Swimming warm oceans one day
Mighty as a whale

😁 🐟 😌

You can rhyme if you want to, you don’t have to rhyme if you don’t . You can write in your native language, just put an English translation in your post as well . Judging is based on a COMMUNITY VOTE (i.e. all Steemians are allowed to vote, whether they have entered the contest or not). You can vote on as many entries as you like (including your own) but you can’t vote on any entry more than once. To cast your vote for someone, just reply to the link to their entry with a "πŸ‘"(right below in the comments of this post).

I’ll be changing the prize structure and winners will each get a percentage of the SBD from the contest’s Monday post (like this one) each week as follows:

1st place: 3 SBD and 30%
2nd place: 2 SBD and 20%
3rd place: 1 SBD and 10%

The remaining 40% will be split evenly among all entrants (including winners). That way, the contest can be completely sustainable even if it doesn’t attract that many people yet. If there’s anyone you think would enjoy emoji-ing, feel free to invite them all! You have until this Saturday at midnight (Atlantic Time) to enter and I'll announce the winners on Sunday.

STEEM ON!

P.S. I get my emojis here: http://getemoji.com/

Happy to see it continue! I do not qite get how the voting goes. Do we vote in the comments?

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

Thanks 😁! And yes, if you want to vote for someone's poem, reply to their link in the comments with a "πŸ‘" . If you check this post you'll see a few examples. I've been trying to come up with a simpler system though (since almost nobody voted in the first few rounds and I get the feeling most contestants don't get it).

Looking forward to seeing the result! Here is my entry The Old Man

nice post.your post is amazing.

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

Hi @goodwork! What did you like about it? πŸ™‚

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ (edited)

Lol, I always have that same question when I see short comments like these @elementm!

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

When I get these I tend to check the person's previous comments to see if they're using the same general comment over and over at such a high speed that they couldn't possibly be reading anything they're commenting on. I think of that as "Upvote Fishing".

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ (edited)

Yeah, I know what you mean. I just posted a new post. And within 20 seconds (I'm not exaggerating) I had my first comment: "Good".

Don't get me wrong: I really appreciate every comment, but 1 word?

To me, Steemit is about interaction, so I like a little bit more meat on the bone.

That's also what I do when I leave a comment on someone else's post.

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

I think most Steemians appreciate that. A well thought out comment, even if it disagrees with your post, is a wonderful thing but I'm not into copy-paste replies. I still try to be understanding because of the language barrier though.

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ (edited)

Totally agree!

I really resonated with this post by @timcliff.

If you scroll down to the comments, you can see that we had a great exchange of views on Steemit engagement.

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

Wow, those comments are post-length!

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

Awesome idea, i will have to create one!

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

I'll be looking out for your entry πŸ˜‰

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

I made one last night did you see it?

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

I didn't realise. You'll need to put the link to it in this post (so I can find it and other people can vote on it for the contest). I'll reply as soon as I see it here to let you know you're officially in the contest πŸ˜‰

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 
Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

Congratulations, you're officially the fifth contestant! πŸ˜€ I think you should copy the link into a separate reply so it's easier for others to see and vote on but either way, you're in πŸ˜‰

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

OK I will do that,YAY

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

OK I will figure out how to do that in a min or so!
