Check out these recurring contests too!

Quite a few industrious Steemians run contests regularly. Here is a list of the ones we know about at the moment. All of these have been running for months so you can count on their posted schedule.

Be sure to check each account and look for the contest name as the links change each week. Also remember to read the full contest description as the rules and prize values sometimes change.

@freewritehouse

The folks over at @freewritehouse run three contests each week. All of them are designed to encourage community engagement and highlight other's work. Besides the prizes from the @freewritehouse account, they are always interested in hearing from anyone who will sponsor a contest and so they can offer even bigger prizes.

Favorite Freewrite

A Favorite Freewrite You Read contest runs every Tuesday for just 24 hours. You need to read some freewrites written (you can read this post to see what they are), and then comment on the contest posts about which ones you liked best and why. If they choose your comment you win shares of SBI.

Favorite Freewrite Poem
Recommend your Favorite Freewrite Poem is a poetry version of the Favorite Freewrite contest and it runs every Friday. Make a comment about a freewrite poem you loved and you could win SBI shares. But be quick! When Friday is over, so is the contest - until the next week that is.

We Write

We-Write is a new challenge they’ve just started in the last few weeks. It runs every other Wednesday (next one is July 25th) with a prize of 4 SBI divided among winners.

Finish the Story Contest

Freewritehouse
This weekly contest is run by @f3nix. He recently launched the @bananafish account which now hosts the contest which runs every Wednesday. He posts the beginning of a story, and you finish it. Then you post your complete story for everyone to read. The winner, as chosen by the @bananafish god, wins SBI shares. The important thing to know about this contest is that it's an ongoing creativity workshop, so if you miss one deadline you can participate in the next.

Paying it Forward

Paying it Forward
In the spirit of helping new Steemians, this contest focuses on curating great content and is run by @thedarkhorse. It runs weekly on Mondays and asks that you find two "High Quality Original Content Blog Posts" to recommend for curation. Four judges decide which recommendations were the best and multiple winners get SBI shares. Follow @thedarkhorse to see the latest contest post and read it for full details.

ZapFic Writing Contest

Zapfic

Like super short stories? Try writing one in 232 characters or fewer for your chance to win SBI in this contest run by @felt.buzz. Every Wednesday he posts a new prompt to use for your very short story. Be sure to read the rules on this one as you'll need a Zappl account to qualify, but your stories will be automatically posted to Steem too.

NOTE: Contest images used with permission from their owners.

Instead of trying to be thoroughly comprehensive (and then end up not publishing) like we have before, we have only included the most recent contests (skipping duplicates). If we missed yours, feel free to share it in the comments for our readers to find, and to stop by our Discord server to post it in the contests channel.

Enrollment

If you want to get involved, or to increase the share of basic income that you receive, enrollment is pretty straightforward:

Just send 1 STEEM to @steembasicincome. Include the name of a Steemian to sponsor in the transaction memo (preceded by @). You and the person you sponsor will each receive 1 share in the program. You can sponsor any active Steemian, it does not have to be a current member.

If you're unclear, please check out our full transaction memo guidelines and then let us know if you have any questions.
https://steemit.com/basicincome/@steembasicincome/steem-basic-income-new-transaction-memo-guidelines

The official currency for enrollment is STEEM. We are not currently accept SBD for enrollments.

🍀 Upvote Game (Week 29) to win up to 2 SBI Share worth up to 2 STEEM you find here❗️

Oops! Added it now.

Thanks @steembasicincome. :)

Well I wouldn't expect you to have heard of mine as we are fairly new but here's my contest.
https://steemit.com/cartoon-off/@corpsvalues/second-weekly-cartoon-contest-cartoon-off
It's a no-drawing-talent required weekly cartoon contest, 3 SBD handed out in 3 different categories: single panel, multi panel, and humor.
Show me your stick figures! Your political cartoons and roasts! Cartooning is the oldest form of artwork, and been a powerful tool for change, inspiration, and ROFL's throughout history.
Show me what you gooooooooot.

Thanks for sharing! This has SBI prizes too, or only SBD? Our listing only includes contests that have SBI prizes.

Oh I'm sorry I didn't notice the trend. The current prize for our second week is in SBD however I can assess our artists' interest in changing that to SBI shares for future payouts.

Thank you @steembasicincome and @ntowl for this complete contest review. Our 22nd edition will be out on Wednesday 25th, GMT -7.. with an enhanced pot of 8 SBI. Come for the contest, stay for the community!

Just love seeing so many people sharing!

Keep up the good work! 👊
