Introduction
Welcome to the Steemit #homesteadingchallenge! The goal of this challenge is to unite the Steemit homesteading community with an invigorating contest every few weeks!
The #homesteadingchallenge will require a variety of different tasks and requests from anyone who wishes to participate. Examples of tasks include taking a photo of your livestock, answering a prompt question regarding homesteading, etc. Each challenge will have a different goal / theme so please read the announcement carefully.
What’s in it for you?
I plan to transfer ALL of the SBD reward the announcement articles earn to the winner of each challenge! The more support from each of you, the bigger the potential reward! One winner will be chosen for each challenge.
Rules
Anyone and everyone is welcome to join! Simply follow the guidelines in order to be eligible!
- Follow the specific theme of each challenge - each challenge will require something different.
- Use #homesteadingchallenge as one of your article’s tags.
- Complete your submission by the deadline.
- If you chose to participate, you give permission for your submission to be linked and referenced in the winning announcement article.
- (Optional, but highly recommended) Upvote and/or resteem this post to increase the number of submissions and potential reward!
Steemit HomesteadingChallenge #6
Share your favorite (or most informative) source of knowledge that has helped you on your homesteading journey!
Was it the stories your grandfather told as you sat on his knee or the afternoons spent in the garden with your mother? Is there a website you were overjoyed to discover or a book you turn to whenever you have a question? An inspiring documentary, an informative magazine… what resource has proved itself to be superior time and time again?
You have ONE WEEK to write your submission for this challenge - please post it by 11:00 PM (CDT) [UTC offset: UTC -5] on Friday, December 22, 2017!
Don’t forget to include the #homesteadingchallenge tag in your article! Link your submission in this article’s comments below and/or tag me (@kiaraantonoviche) in the comments of your article! This is how I will find the submissions! I will also try to comment on each submission to let you know that I have seen it and that it has been entered into the running!
Winner will be chosen the following day - Saturday, December 23, 2017- and winnings will be paid immediately following this announcement post’s payout. An article announcing the winner with proof of the reward payment will be posted following the reward dispersement.
I’ll try my best to make this challenge (and future challenges) fun, inspirational, and most of all… worthy of your time! Good luck!

I'm going to try to write something for this, it'll be my first contest! How is the winner chosen?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I typically chose the winner based on a few different criteria (depending on the challenge) including how accurately they answer the question posed/ complete the task given, how honestly I believe they answered the question/completed the task, how useful/relevant the information is to homesteading and prepping, etc. Mainly the more genuine of a response given, the better. Sometimes I have a hard time choosing so I will number submissions (in the order they were written) and use a random number generator to select a winner!
