3 ways of getting rewards by participating...

Yes my foodies friends...by entering Steemit Iron Chef, you actually expose yourself to be in the race of getting rewarded in 3 different ways...

Let me explain!

1. WEEKLY 25 STEEM

For each round, I give away 25 STEEM to the ones finishing on the top 7 places - of course the ones making the best post with clear details, amazing photos and putting the product of the week in value will get maximum points from me.

---

2. GRAND REWARD POOL

Each participant sending at least 1 valid entry in all the 15 rounds, are eligible to get some STEEM after the end of 15 rounds of Act 1 provided they finish in the top 100!

The points that each one gets weekly are added each week to form the league ranking!

The grand reward pool is already over 70 STEEM and grows bigger each week.

3. The Curators!!!

The 3rd way is actually based on luck and high quality entries!!!

If you create a top notch post and catch the eyes of the curators...well you can be the happiest people out there!

I've always believed in hard work and rewards will surely follow, just keep on going and never get discouraged!

VERY IMPORTANT ADVISES

We have seen a real lot of participants since the launching of Steemit Iron Chef - This is actually a blessing having so many people participating!

In the beginning there were more low quality posts than good ones...but after 3 rounds...I can say that the overall level is going up and I am sure it will be even better after some more rounds!

Thank you to all those making efforts on your entries - @progressivechef is commenting on each of your posts and congratulating you for your good job!

By upgrading your entries, the competition will be more interesting and we will see different winners each round...

I'll again share some advises I gave out last round for those who haven't yet read them:

• Make a thoughtful posts, be yourself - make it fun to read.
• Take the best photos of the dish you prepared.
• Avoid posting photos of you in the contest...I am more interested in the food and the plate you did!
• I need only 1 proof photo, the rest of the photos you can do freestyle and make them attractive.
• Don't just make a cream or a salad or a soup with the product of the week...work different recipes and dress nicely on your plate - try something you've never done before, go for it!
• The product of the week must be the center of attention, it must dominate the plate!
