No matter who I talk to there always seems to be an opinion about clowns and scarecrows. Some people hate clowns, some people like myself find them very intriguing. Like wise people have the same feelings about scarecrows

So what I am going to do is open up a clown contest for all fellow steemit users to enter for a chance to win $35, $25 and $15 of my personal money paid in any of the three following ways. 

1.) Steem Dollars 

2.) Steem 

or 

3.) Paid via PayPal Friends and Family. 

Plus 

25% of all contest upvotes will also be set aside for the final winner.

This way choice is left up to the winners, they can leave it in the system, power-up or get cash for daily life. 

This contest is a little different than others that I have seen here as it will be three rounds of elimination. You can use any artistic form to create your clown or scarecrow. 

Round 1 of the contest starts as of the posting of this blog entry.  

1. Round 1 ends midnight of October 1st.
2. 10 entries will be selected October 1st ~ 5 based on the most upvotes and 5 based on my personal choice.
3. Only those who enter round 1 may enter round 2
4. Only users who create their own post and link their entry to this post will be eligible to win.
5. Post must be resteemed if you enter

The rules for round two will be revealed on October 2nd along with the round one winners.

This is a great way for people to show off their talents, humor and dark side if that's the way your entry goes. Nothing is taboo and nothing is off limits. Halloween is our favorite holiday as we are getting ready for baby #10 and Fall is when the heat starts to go away and we get to spend some more time inside snuggling and building fires. 

Here is my friend Stef from last year who did a scarecrow for Halloween to help kick start the idea's.

Let's have some fun and get in the mood of the season with this contest and show off our skills.
