The Marvelous Tales Contest
In honor of all the creativity here on Steemit, I'm hosting the Marvelous Tales Contest.
The idea is simple: I give you two words, and you build your tale around these two words. You could write a story, make a comic or video, use a drawing or photo to accompany your tale, or even write a song. You can submit your entry by creating a post dedicated to this contest.
I will be picking the winner based on originality, creativity and entertainment value. Subjected, ofcourse, to my personal opinion, but I try to be as fair as I can!
Last week's results:
This week's pickings come from our guest judge @datboithe1. Thank you very much for judging the contest!

@irastra's entry won 0.306 SBD
Second place
@the-housewife's entry won 0.510 SBD

This week's words:
The words you need to spin your tale around this week are:
- Witness
- Decentralized
@geke mentions: " I'm not necessarily hoping for stories about the blockchain, since the word witness is much more open-ended. But I am hoping for stories about decentralized, self-regulating systems.".
This week's deadline:
Tuesday 26th of september, at 11:00 AM CET (Central European Time, UTC+1).
Closing notes:
- I reserve the rights to disqualify any entry I deem inappropriate.
- The rewards are based on the payout of this post. This might change in the future.
- Rewards, winners and a new contest will be announced once this post is paid out.
- I'd be very grateful if you would mention a link to this post from your entry post (it's not a must!). Anything you could do to help broaden the contest's reach is very much appreciated!
Thank you for your attention and I'm looking forward to seeing your entries!

It looks like a fun contest especially because you can reply with video, art, music or the written word!

Aww thanks! I'm glad you like the idea :-)
People come up with the most amazing stories for this contest, I'm always really impressed. It's awesome to read them all!
I just wish I could get some high upvoters interested in supporting it (thank you very much for the support by the way!). I can't really pay the price money myself in these uncertain times for me (Steemit is like my part-time job for now), so it's based on payout of the post. It varies a lot each week, but I haven't really figured out how to 'catch that whale' yet ;-)
Anyway, it's all good! Plenty of people run contests here, so I understand they can't all be supported! I think most contestants join in for the inspiration, practice and fun either way. We have some very consistant contestants! And the best thing is, a couple of them get visits from Curie each week too! No price money can beat that, right :D

Having won this contest the last two out of three weeks, I want to encourage everyone reading this post to enter. This week will especially challenge me as I have grown quite fond of the previous flow of the element.
The ripple effect has served as a basis for communication and people wanting how to improve their writings. Please let the journey be the joy.
Thank you @playfulfoodie. There are many contests on Steemit, but the emphasis on child-friendly content for yours is endearing.

how do you make a story about decntralization? whose idea are those words.

Normally, I come up with the words. However, this week's words were provided by our guest judge. She has written a little explanation to go with the words and I feel it's very do-able to come up with something here.
And hey, if this week's words are hard, all the more reason to try and join, because there might be a bit less competition, right? :D
