Steemit Sandwich Contest Week 37

Royal Rumble Anything Goes!"

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

Updates from jaybird

The Prize Pool consists of the liquid rewards from the "SSC Official Contest Week Post" in tandem with any collected donations. I will also continue to sponsor the contest weekly with varying amounts. While initially this will probably appear to lower the next few weeks prize pools, my hope is that it will in turn produce a scaleable model for the future of SSC as it continues to grows. If you are interested in making donations or sponsoring SSC please get at me!

Goodbye E-mail list! As of today, I will no longer be sending out SSC reminder E-mails. It has come to my attention that most of you no longer require me to do so! Should this change, I'll start it up again.

Please remember to have a physical "Validation Sign" with your Sandwich in at least 1 photo to be considered valid

Get Hungry, Get Creative!

Submit any Kind of Sandwich Whether It's a Classic or Original Creation!

A very special thanks to our week 36 contestants! Many of you have been entering since Week 1 and I very much appreciate your participation and your level of enthusiasm, creativity and sense of humour for this contest!

Week 36 Winners will be Announced Wednesday

A very big shout out to all our supporters and especially our Sponsors and Donors who are crucial in upping the prize pool each week.

Past Sponsorships Include: @bleedpoet @artwatch @gringalicious @doitvoluntarily @papa-pepper. We'd be grateful to have any new or repeat Sponsons!

Week 37 Sponsor(s): @gringalicious @jaybird

LAST BUT NOT LEAST SELECTING A WINNER!

I will be selecting the winner based on a variety of parameters. Just do your thing and have fun with it. I'm considering many factors such as presentation, ingredients & originality, creativity, community opinion & artistic ability just to name a few. PLEASE make sure to follow the rules! They are easy to follow and help prevent the tragedy of Null entries!
There are now 6 prizes. First Prize = Roughly 50% of the prize pool collected
Second Prize dubbed the "Veto Vote" = Roughly 30% of the prize pool collected + the honour of selecting the following weeks second prize winner. This prize is ideally given to an entry that although it did not win the contest, showed distinction among all the other entries. This could be a feature such as it was the community favourite, it used the most bizarre ingredients, or, it was just the best looking sandwich etc. IMPORTANT! The "Veto Vote" holder may not vote on his or her own sandwich to be selected as the second prize. However, they are still eligible to win First Prize should they enter the contest that week.
Third Prize Roughly 15% of the prize pool selected by either @jaybird or a guest judge.
Fourth/Fifth/6th Prize total Roughly 5% of the prize pool selected by @ jaybird for SSC "outstanding achievement"

Week 37's Veto Voter is TBD. Thank you for your participation!

IMPORTANT! "Veto Vote" holders must always present their final selection to @jaybird in confidence and allow the news to be revealed in an officially "Who Won Steemit Sandwich Contest" blog post. Deviation from this method will result in a forfeit of the Veto Vote and thus, the selection will be consider null and a new winner will be chosen by @jaybird.
Veto Voters can contact @jaybird through steemchat or discord jaybird#4732 or, an e-mail address will be provided to communicate. If for whatever reasons, the Veto Vote winner does not select an entry in the following weeks contest, I will be the default second prize selector for that week.

@jaybird reserves the right to alter the contest rules and structure as necessary.

ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT MANDATORY, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO RE-STEEM THS POST IN ORDER TO HELP SPREAD THE WORD AND GROW THE PRIZE POOL.
