#MinnowMondays Giveaway!


In light of winning $5 SBD in @fibrefox's #newbieresteemday Bingo Game I want to pay it forward to a newbie!

@davemccoy asked What Prize You'd Like and I have to say this was my favorite comment:

SO that's what we're doing! The winner will have their choice of having 50 SP delegation for 2 weeks to help with bandwidth issues - OR - a Lifetime Membership to SteemBasicIncome.

I will be doing this every other week
in my #MinnowMondays post for a total of 5 PRIZES!


I will choose a "theme" on the off week so Newbies can create a post during the following week as a response, if they choose - and also to keep the judging as fair as possible. I will accept any type of post including d.tube and d.sound entries and will be randomly choosing a winner from a pool of all relevant entries.

Requirements

  • Drop the link to your relevant post in comments section of my #MinnowMondays post
  • UPVOTE is NOT Necessary
  • RESTEEM to help SPREAD THE WORD
  • You must read, comment and resteem ONE FELLOW NEWBIE'S ENTRY

And the WINNER is...

@tifaong with her amazing post "I am who I'm meant to be, THIS IS ME!" this post is still active so be sure to head over and check it out! It is totally worth an upvote! She chose to highlight a song which was completely new to me - but a great song none the less and I'm happy she introduced me to: The Greatest Showman - This is Me

She wrote a exquisite post where she quoted lyrics and also gave her opinion on how it made her think and feel. Here is an excerpt and one of my favorite parts of her post:

Everyday, we receives daggers of stares, words sharper than swords that slashes through our hearts and dignity. But we're not going to be a victim of ourselves. We will be who we are because we are born this way. When daggers are thrown at us, we will block them. When swords are coming, we will parry them all! Nothing can bring us down.

THIS WEEK'S THEME March 12th

Awesome @amariespeaks, I love to see how you applied the suggestions and love your selection of @tifaong! Glad to have you back and love everything you do for us! :)

Congrats Tifa!!! You are very deserving!

thanks @davemccoy! It's been spotty but I'm getting there! @tifaong wrote such a unique and motivating post 😀 can't wait to see the posts for this weeks!

Yes she's good... And I understand... I like seeing your pretty red hair on these pages so don't disappear on us ok??? ;)

lol ;-) don't worry I won't disappear

awesome... I will hold you to that! ;)

Such a great idea @amariespeaks. Not sure why I keep missing contests, but this one I am up for :D. Also, thank you. You have been a source great support and content creator :)

Thanks! I'm looking forward to seeing your post @tryskele 😊

Congrats @tifaong! Well deserved and I have seen her excellent blogs about love and life! I will be checking out that post!

I also think the prizes are good motivators and nice for them to have a choice too. For Minnow Fridays, I have just divided the SBD earnings as Valentine gifts and then thought it would be nice to do it weekly :)

@wanderlass what a great idea! I'm gonna do this for the next 4 prizes then maybe I'll continue it too :)

@amariespeaks You can take the reward from the author SBD portion. For now, I don't include myself in the share because the posts usually earn less than 1 SBD author. But I think they really appreciate even the tiny SBD because some newbies don't even get that much in their first few posts :)

ohh yes that is a very good idea that I didn't even think of! Thanks! I can definitely do that every week 😊

I just thought of it after the Valentine gift I made. And saw that they don't get much upvotes, so just reward them instead from the author earnings of the post. And maybe when we earn more one day then we can also get a portion of the author reward since we also spend hours for that post. For now, I just divide it among them :D

Wow! Such a great outlook and maximum applause for paying things forward. Very inspiring profile. Very pleased to see the theme of your latest challenge as I've just written a post that is about my old best friend. So it looks like it's off to @minnowmondays for me :)
Sorry having a dumb day and can't work out how to enter... Will re-steem this post but didn't want to post story here as not sure whether thats's required. Sorry to be a pain.

oh no worries! just drop your link into the comments on this post to enter or I can check your blog - either way we'll get you entered! So glad you liked my post - this is my first "challenge/giveaway" post so I'm a bit new to how all this works myself lol

Glad folk are putting so much effort into projects like this.
here is my link: link removed

Sorry @amariespeaks, can I put this one forwards instead? This one is about the best friend ever! :https://steemit.com/creative-writing/@article61/my-daughter-my-heart-my-soul-my-savior

no problem @article61 ! I'm going to check them both out because that acid in the graveyard sounds strikingly like my high school adventures hahaha but I will enter in your second post as the entry! ;-)

thank you @tryskele !! checking it out now my friend!

What if I feel like a plankton?

Not sure 100% what plankton feels like lol but feel free to enter! I am not restricting entries to only newbies - I haven't had the rush of entries I expected so the door is open to anyone who wants to join! I think I'll offer the delegation of 50SP to only newbies but the @steembasicincome is a great prize for all Steemians!

Thank you for promoting exceptional contents @amariespeaks. Here's my entry for this week, though more of poetry,but i hope you like it and it is approved!
