CONTEST: My 2018: A tour around my town - 100 SBD in Prizes

in my2018 •  7 years ago  (edited)

Contest season is back my friends, I hope you are ready.

I am currently in Southern México, just a few hours before crossing by foot the border to Guatemala and I found myself roaming around a small town called San Cristobal de las Casas. While walking its rustic streets I thought to myself Hey, even though this is not and adventure and just a visit, I would love to make a post about it...

And then it hit me

Why not make a contest where everyone gets to show us around their hometown, to take us on a guided tour through their secrets, corners, to meet the people living there, the touristic attractions - even if it is just one spot?
Sometimes we plan a big holiday to some place far away but we never do a touristic activity in our hometown, because it is what we´ve known all of our lives.

The contest

Make a post where you show us your hometown and the activities you can do there, the food, the people, the places, everything! You can make a video, post photos, make it a written post... whatever you want to use for the post is fine, no rules about the way to show us your hometown. The videos and photos must be yours, you can´t use photos from other websites. So... take us on a tour around your town!

Citing @mountainjewel: "There is no boring town, perhaps it won't be boring to other people who live across the world, who don't live there, to see my hometown". So yeah, don´t think your post won´t be nice, the beautiful thing about these contests is that everyone who joins brings something new for everyone else to see!

The rules

  • The post title should be: My 2018: A Tour around my town: In here you can put whatever you want.
  • The tag you should use is "My2018" and please, do NOT use the tag "blocktrades" or "sndbox"
  • Resteem this post, this way we will be able to reach more people and give everyone a chance to win some SBD.
  • In your post, please make a reference or mention this post so people who reads your entry know what it is about.

You DON´T have thank me, I´m doing this contests because I want to spread the votes as much as I can, but I have seen that some people like to include a thank you note - I appreciate the gesture :) - but don´t thank me, if there is anyone you should be thanking is @blocktrades for their SP delegation to me.

It is not mandatory, but if you want to use the @steemitworldmap I would be very grateful with you.

Also not mandatory, but using the tag #culturevulture helps to give visibility to the post.

The deadline

Every entry that is posted between February 1st and February 9th PST (Pacific Time) will be considered a valid entry for the contest. Any post made after February 9 - Pacific Time - will not be able to win.
I will be voting on every post that fills the criteria stated above, the percentage will change depending on the effort and quality of the post.

The Prizes

Depending on how many people join, I will be spliting the 100 SBD Prize. If we get a lot of people to join the contest - the last contest where we gave 100 SBD, 230 people joined - I will pitch in some more SBD´s so more people gets rewarded.

Special Thanks

Remember, making this contest and giving this prizes is only possible due to the delegation I got from @blocktrades. Don´t forget to vote for them as witness here to show them your support!

Disclaimer: In order to be able to reward a bit more those posts who deserve it, I want to nominate some of the entries for @ocd´s Daily compilation of underrated gems so, by joining this contest, you are allowing me to nominate your post :D

Great idea. This one will have some really fun responses I'm sure. I look forward to visiting/seeing towns all throughout the world.

Now my first thought is, well my little hometown i live by now is kind of a boring small country town (less than 700 people), but then I thought- perhaps it won't be boring to other people who live across the world, who don't live here? Maybe, we'll see! It will be fun to walk around with my camera or a video camera and see what new nooks and crannies I can discover with this mission. XO

By the way, San Cristobal de las casas is a great town! I loved visiting there. The streets were so alive, loved all the cobblestone...

UPDATE: Here is my post!. Let me know if you think it's interesting after all ;) ;) I'll look forward to reading many entries from around the world :)

This post has been upvoted and resteemed. I also started following you to see more of your work!

This comment is so on point that I am citing you - kind of - in the post haha. Exactly, there is no boring town if you think that people from the philipines, nigeria, venezuela are reading yout post, for someone across the world, your town will be magical, even if it only has 3 people and 2 dogs :D

San Cristobal is beautiful, I´m loving it!

I'm from Venezuela and even given our economic and political circumstances, there's plenty to do here every day. So cheer up and participate, we wanna see your town!

It is nice to see you again sir @anomadsoul ,this was great , how about if i am posting my old photos of me on my home town. it was possible because I am truly here in saudi working. but I have more souvenir photos in my home town.

I've got the opposite issues. There are so many nooks and crannies in my town it will be a bigger question of where to start?! So excited to share my daily life with those around the world. It is amazing that we are all humans doing different things in different cities, but yet we are all still humans just being. Beautiful contest and look forward to entries. Thank you @blocktrades for the support to let the muse come through!

hello... i upvoted your blog and kindly upvote my blog as well...

very interesting idea!

Please find my humble entry from Saudi with love, LOL.

Congratulations are very creative the theme chosen for a contest, so each person can tour their hometown, and know places that may never visited despite living there. This initiative on your part I'm sure it will be a success and there will be many users who will participate. I encourage myself to participate and to travel throughout my city. @anomadsoul

This sounds like a lot of fun! Great idea!

Your city must look great then 😀😀😀😀😀

Hello @anomadsoul I tell you several colleagues who saw my post in Spanish told me that I could participate in your contest, I adapted it and here is my entry:

a very interesting contest but unfortunately I can not take part because my residence does not fit your contest criteria. I live in a dull city with a very backward infrastructure, dusty roads in the dry season and muddy paths in the rainy season. I strongly support your successful contest master.

I think that is just perfect for the contest. What criteria does it not fit? It sounds very interesting and I, for 1, would love to see you enter and show us your little piece of the world!

Make a post where you show us your hometown and the activities you can do there, the food, the people, the places, everything! You can make a video, post photos, make it a written post... whatever you want to use for the post is fine, no rules about the way to show us your hometown. The videos and photos must be yours, you can´t use photos from other websites. So... take us on a tour around your town!

Citing @mountainjewel: "There is no boring town, perhaps it won't be boring to other people who live across the world, who don't live there, to see my hometown". So yeah, don´t think your post won´t be nice, the beautiful thing about these contests is that everyone who joins brings something new for everyone else to see!

Woooouuhouuuu lets do this ...steemit universe is full people who have brilliant ideas.
can't wait to play my part in the contest🔥
thanks for Bringing this up!
thanks for your upvote too haha

Hello friends! Encourage me to participate, here I leave my participation.

Hola amigos! Me anime a participar, por acá les dejo mi participación.

https://steemit.com/my2018/@rubeydi/my-2018-un-recorrido-por-mi-ciudad-pozo-de-rosa-la-barrica

You’re just using us to show you lots of options for where to travel next, admit it! 😜

Damn keep your mouth shut! Now all my plan is falling in pieces! :O Oh well, I do want to know how it is in other places :P I hope you are joining, so when i go visit, I know what to expect :D

Berlin is too ugly this time of year. Off to sunnier places next week. I might still make it for the contest, let’s see.

The point is to show your city, not show off your city. I am interested in ugly, gloomy and dull as well as sunny and bright. It is a big and varied world, you know.

Oh, here I was thinking the plan was to see the world without leaving your living room!

Great thing!!! I am in. Wish me luck, will update post link here soon.

What a cool idea! It would be cool to get an up close and personal view from the locals..

I agree! could you imagine all the places we overlook in our day-to-day because it is our hometown, & though others come here to vacation we do not look at it that way due to living here our entire lives, I actually do think this would be fun, not only for other people to get to see what it is like where we live and all the cool places we frequent, but also to help us rediscover our own backyard- (Minus all the helicopters with spot lights everywhere & the crime lol) but to be able to see all the good that we miss, Dallas is actually a really cool city & I would enjoy doing this! Maybe even a staycation! somewhere new-not the same places we always go, but go outside of our comfort zone!

Great idea! Lmk if you ever decide to come to dallas.

que bien primera vez que veo este concurso pero participare soy de Venezuela y hare un buen post sobre esto hermano.

Wow I love that sir, I hope no police or guard will seize me again in taking photos around Jeddah KSA LOL.

I will spread the news over my #steemitachievers family that you have another contest.

Thank you sir,. No I should not mention this :D

Good job !!! we will have a good idea of ​​a place that will be a good education on behalf of all humanity who will have seen places that everyone has not seen. Thank you @anomadsoul #my2018
