All donations will be used to increase the total prize pool of "Travel writing contest No2"

About the contest

"Travel writing contest No1" has started on 13th of August, 2019 and it has been a huge success so far (it is not over yet)! The main intention of hosting this contest was to support the mind-blowing Travelfeed.io platform and its amazing community. A decent number of talented travel writers showed a desire to share their experiences and compete for a prize pool of 120 STEEM. Because of the immense project success, I decided to keep hosting these contests one after another. All the money donated will be used to increase the total prize pool of "Travel writing contest No2" and future contests. All donors will be mentioned in the contest announcement. 100% of the Steem Power earned by this post will be delegated to @travelfeed.

A tad excessive?
I feel your slice of the reward pie is too large 1.jpg

I agree @joshman. I will not make same mistake again. :) However, as I mentioned before, all SP collected by this post will be delegated to @travelfeed.

Thanks for your response. I'm glad that is the case. I look solely at the proportionality of the rewards in the case of a normal post. Nothing else wrong with it otherwise.

Your project sounds amazing, and also it bring us more knowledge about different countries and cultures, and of course different languages..

More history will added to our dictionary with all of different descriptions by good writers and travelers..!!!

Just amazing @invisusmundi

Hi @edgarare1,
Fathers of travelfeed.io are @jpphotography and @for91days. :) I am only hosting a contest to support the travel writers community. What is more, when doing this I feel like I do something good for steem blockchain and it's users in general. @Travelfeed is one of those projects I believe the most. :) You are always welcome to join the contest!

Thank you so much for your kind reply, I will try to create something new to participate in the contest ..!!!

wow, what a massive bid bot abuse @steemflagrewards

also @acidyo ; is supporting such bid bot abuse with @ocdb what you wanna achieve? (no offense; just asking and trying to get your attention on this)

He might have supported it before it got bidbotted to the moon

he still can unvote, now after it has been bidbotted to moon

Thanks for being a great Steemian and looking out for these posts, we are working on a more detailed guideline and rules for OCDB for HF21 where regular bid bot stacking by the same users on unimportant posts will not be allowed and will result in removal from the whitelist.

Hi @acidyo. Sorry guys if I did something harmful or ilegal, but is my post really considered to be spam? As you can see I've posted three types of things lately: travel articles of more than 6000 words each (it took me a week to write each of them), travel videos (filmed and edited by my wife and me) and two "Travel writing contest" related posts to support the http://travelfeed.io platform, which creates a huge value to Steem Blockchain community. By the way, I funded it from my own pocket and going to continue to host them to give another reason for those travel writers to write good quality posts.

Just tell me that any of those posts are spam and I promise I will never use @ocdb bot ever again @acidyo.

It's okay this time, I looked over your account and you don't seem to do this often so I will not remove the vote. We are in a process to publish a more detailed guideline post about when to use and not use OCDB and will give fair warnings to everyone in time before removing or unvoting.

Thank you for your reply. Have a nice day. :)
@Luegenbaron, please, if you see me or other steemians doing something which in your eyes is not right, try to reach us on Discord first. Anyways, you are always welcome to join our contest too.

Good attitude. You didn't counter flag and seem receptive to criticism in a positive way. I'm impressed with how you took the feedback.

I also appreciate @luegenbaron for bringing this to light. I agree that this post is a bit heavy on the bots respective to what would be a reasonable appraisal of value. You were admonished by @acidyo so think we are done here.

Have a great day!

no problem! will you unvote the ocdb vote?

This is a great platform for me, especially for someone like me that love traveling around.
This will be a place for me to share my experience and passions.

Hey @ricki2000, would you like to participate too? :)

Excelente! De verdad que cada vez me asombra la capacidad creativa de las personas en esta plataforma. Maravillosa idea no solo por la recompensa sino para promover el turismo en muchos lugares. Existen comunidades que sólo dependen del turismo y ésta es una forma de promover el turismo y colaborar con todos por igual. Saludos.

I'm afraid my Spanish is not so good. However, thank you for your comment! :D

You got a 56.26% upvote from @ocdb courtesy of @invisusmundi! :)

@ocdb is a non-profit bidbot for whitelisted Steemians, current min bid is 1.5 SBD and max bid is 10 SBD and the equivalent amount in STEEM.
Check our website https://thegoodwhales.io/ for the whitelist, queue and delegation info. Join our Discord channel for more information.

If you like what @ocd does, consider voting for ocd-witness through SteemConnect or on the Steemit Witnesses page. :)

Not cool!

The @travelfeed curators kept me on steem and I am forever grateful for their continuous support of my ramblings and travel posts.

Thanks to you for your first initiative and travel contest too, I'll look out for contest round too and see about posting an entry for it too!

Stay awesome and happy travelling!

:D Thank's Nicky! I think you are a great guy!
I would like to make this Travel writing contest a much bigger thing in the future.

Right back at you man!

It's a great idea to encourage more travel content on the platform. People move around all the time these days and the more info available on places to visit, the better for everyone and the way travelfeed are approaching things is spot on!

I loved the idea. It has inspired me to apply my goof thougths in relevant actions. Thanks. Will stay close. How do I use your tags with one og my trabel reviews?

Hey, I don't know if I understand your question, but I will try to answer. There are two ways to support http://travelfeed.io: you can post your articles using this platform or you can use http://steemit.com and just add #travelfeed.

However, If you want to compete for the 100 STEEM prize, you MUST use the http://travelfeed.io platform.

This is a good post, I think can handle it with Airbnb accounts what you think about it?

Do you think I should add Airbnb referral link? :)

For someone like me who loves travelling, this would be great.
Thanks for this platform.

Maybe you should start typing and join the contest then? Don't you think? :)

i think that this is a super good idea

Its a nice project idea, would love travelling myself just need to create the time

Yea, it takes some time to write... Good luck! :)

Thanks for the post.

Wow very nice! I think i will participate too!

I am a travel writer. Kudos to @travelfeed community, I recently started following your posts, I am new on steemit, how can I participate in this travel writing content#1 if I can still join or when will it be again, so as to plan my article well.
I love sharing my travel experiences...

Hey @chegbe, I am happy you are here with us now! Yes, you can still join this one. It will be over in 6 days. The second one will start right after this one, so you can participate in that one too. :)
If you want to join this one - go to this post -> https://steemit.com/contest/@invisusmundi/travelfeed-travel-writing-contest

Once you do that you have to:

  1. Write a travel article using http://travelfeed.io platform and post the link in the comment section below. Articles which are older than 7 days may participate too.
  2. Resteem that post.
  3. [Optional] Follow me (@Invisusmundi) for more cool contests!

cool

Very nice...keep it up...

I'll thy @yusufehab,
:D By the way, I noticed that you are thinking who you are... I'm doing the same every single day for many months now! :D

That's amazing. I am so glad to learn about this competition today and will start looking around travelfeed.io page and post from there. Will you do a post for announcing the #2 contest?

Hey @Pushpedal! I can see you are a serious traveler! Yea, sure. You can also participate in this one if there will be enough time to write a good article. :) ;)

Posted using Partiko Android

It is so awesome to see the high participation in your travel writing contest, we are seeing a lot of new users using TravelFeed. So happy to hear that the contest will continue!

As I already mentioned to @nickyhavey, I would like this Travel writing contest to become a much bigger thing. Right now I am thinking about the future prize pool. I have limited resources of Steem so I can not increase the prize multiple times so I am thinking about alternatives. For example, the 1st place winner could get STEEM, but 2nd, 3rd, etc. could get something else. :)

Steembasicincome could be a nice alternative as well for prizes, that way you can still give prizes out but you won't decimate your own steem holdings as you and the winners will get an upvote for life from sbi on whatever you post.

Posted using Partiko Android

It's a bit shameful to confess, but I do not know what @Steembasicincome is. :D I'm like a caveman. However, I'll do the research sometime soon.

In short, steembasicincome is like a sponsorship programme. You send 1 Steem (or however many you want) to @steembasicincome then in the memo, put one username you would like to sponsor (can't be you).

You and the person you sponsor get an sbi share/unit for however many steem you send. This is worth about $0.003 per share.

Then you both will get an upvote depending on how many sbi shares/units you have, every time you post... For life.

It's a great investment and I've built up to around 400 shares so have around $0.07 upvote per post (I post daily so it averages out per week).

It's pretty cool, I like it 😁
