I know that this is a little more in-depth than normal SBI giveaway contests, but part of the point of #ccc is to generate good content on the Steem platform.
Here is my response as an example of what I am looking for.
This week I have a lot of enjoyable things to look back on.
On Wednesday, my girlfriend and I went on a hike near where we live. It was a gorgeous area.




I had a great time on this hike. Surprisingly, because about 20 minutes in, a thunderstorm started, and we got soaked. Legitimately soaked, we wrung water from our coats afterwards. We weren’t prepared in the slightest, but I don’t know. Something about wandering around a forest, breathing that clean, fresh post-rain (well, during-rain) smell really got me in a good mood. Plus, it was a new experience for me. I’ve never gotten that wet from rain before haha.
Then, yesterday, I got to do my capoeira class. I was supposed to also go on Wednesday, but it was an outdoor class and the thunderstorm canceled it. However, Friday’s class was super small, just the instructor and one other student, so I was able to learn a ton. In fact, I did a video today demoing some of the movements I learned.
I only feel mildly silly about doing that. It honestly was kind of fun, I felt graceful. Though it may not look it. The only downside is that I couldn’t listen to music while doing the movements, because I didn’t want to run into any copyright issues. I found some youtube videos that seem to have been ok, but they sounded horrible in the recording. Does anyone know how to both play and record the audio? Video editing is not my forte.
Hopefully this coming week will be as enjoyable as my last one was :)
As to the winning process, this will be random draw. Comment a link to your post on this post, you will be assigned a number, and when the post pays out I will draw a random number and that person will get an SBI share. I am also very open to changing the reward system, so if you have a suggestion let me know. :)
@freedomshift and @team-ccc are sponsoring this contest with their own winning system. The rules are as follows:
- 1 winner per 6 valid entries
- Each entry is eligible for three weeks - carried over twice if you don't win
- Submitting a response for 3 weeks in a row wins 1 SBI bonus
- A first time win gets double the reward
Last week’s post had 4 entries.
- @fraenk, Entry #1 - https://steemit.com/photography/@snaepshots/finding-a-flower-in-the-forest
- @getru, Entry #2 - https://steemit.com/ccc/@gertu/mirando-hacia-atras-mirando-hacia-adelante-sbi-contest-2

- @marblely, Entry #4 - https://partiko.app/@marblely/looking-back-looking-forward-contest-2-hosted-by-nmcdougal94-zj5p5pkw?referrer=marblely
Using a Random Number Generator, I got 3. So @wakeupkitty, you are the lucky winner and get 1 SBI from me.

For the @team-ccc drawing, there have been 7 entries now. @marblely, @fitinfunfood, and @wakeupkitty entered last week. Adding them as 5, 6, and 7, and doing another random number gets me 1. So @fraenk, you win and I have given a 2 SBI reward for a first time win to @googlyeyes.

Thank you @freedomshift for sponsoring this contest :)

Thank you for your entry. You are entry #2 :)
Saludos. Me agrada ver como una persona tan joven se esfuerza tanto en alcanzar un objetivo. En verdad lo felicito. Ese video está muy bien, será un placer verlo cuando tenga suficiente práctica para hacer los movimientos rápidos. Capoeira es un arma de defensa personal, de lucha, es artístico, la danza lo hace hermoso. Acá mi entrada.

Thank you for your entry. You are entry #1.
Sorry it's taken so long to respond, it's been a busy week. I will respond to your post tomorrow :)
Yay... I won something :D More SBI for the @googlyeyes is always awesome!!!
Watching your capoeira moves in silence was a bit awkward... but you do have the flow going, smooth!
Are you still dabbling with freerunning/parkour?!
Haha I hope it helps.
Yeah, it was a little awkward :/ I'm not sure what a good solution would be. Playing audio from my laptop makes it sound really awkward. Maybe I could use my phone as a speaker? I guess I could try that. Thank you :)
Sort of? I haven't gone in like, 2 months, because the group I had been going out with sort of stopped.

it does help... 100% of @googlyeyes' rewards on the announcements goes right back into the prize-pool!
Isn't there some easy to use editing software like windows-movie-maker or something that's free you could use?! Doesn't YT actually offer rudimentary editing tools, too? I dunno, I haven'd dabbled with movie editing in years...
I'm trying to learn a back-flip these days... but I'm not making much progress tbh :P
Nice :) you run an excellent contest there. I need to find that picture I took a few weeks ago so I can enter.
It used to, but I'm getting used to the software I'm using. There's a few minor things I'd like to change, and as it's open source I may put in a request with the developers.
Nice. I really want to learn how to do that someday. Too bad we don't live near each other, we could train together.
