NEW 'Pic-a-Topic' Writing Contest by 'AverageOutsider' (OPEN July 22th - July 28th)

in #contest6 years ago

Here we go again...Another fun way to create and earn a little extra income here on steemit, with your writing skills.

This week we are going back to the 'three' equal award system that was originally in place, where 'all three' top place finishers receive one @steembasicincome sponsorship each. SBI offers you an up-vote on all of your posts for life, and the up-vote value increases with each share that you own.

CO-SPONSORS WANTED

Anyone who is a regular SteemBasicIncome advocate, is also invited to join us in sponsoring one of the winners. You'll get a 'plug' here for your involvement, as an extra bonus to your next SBI share purchase, with an automatic individual to sponsor...In essence, you will be a 'co-sponsor' of this contest. (no future commitment required)


Here are This Weeks Topics to Choose From


  • An Early Childhood Story (One event, or a general recollection)
  • My Fears (Or one fear that you have/had)
  • A Story About Your Pet (One you have or had)
  • An Encounter With a Ghost/or Spirit (Spooky?)
  • Do Angels Exist? (What's Your Opinion?)
  • Feel or Felt Like an Outsider (Weird, odd, rejected, ignored etc.)
  • A Major Change You Made Recently in Your Life
  • A Major Change You're Planning to Make Soon
  • What do You Think About Extraterrestrials? (Real or NO?)

  • The 'Ugly' Rules are as Follows


  • English Language Only (Sorry) We have a working knowledge of a couple others, but not well enough to 'rate'
  • Keep Your Story at About 1,500 Words or Less (A little over is Fine)
  • One Entry Per Person (Don't cheat with multiple accounts...)
  • 'Link' This Announcement at the End of Your Post, or just give a mention somehow.
  • Post a Link to Your Entry in the 'Comment Section' Below (So we can find you)
  • HAVE FUN
  • Well that's about it; have some fun with your creative writing skills, and share it with us here. You'll be eternally happy that you did...

    Alrighty!! We have some fresh new topics this time :D
    Super excited to start all over again!

    P.S. I like how the announcement page looks much cleaner and organized.

    Thanks

    Heya! I'm back yet again :P
    What can I say, I just love participating!

    Here's my entry:
    Imagining Life Beyond Earth - A Stargazer's Dream

    I've made a few changes in the structure of the article this time and combined it with the style I usually write in. It took me roughly 2 days to write the whole thing. But this time, strangely, I'm not nervous. Confident, in fact. When it comes to talking about space, I just simply can't shut up lol.

    I hope it will be able to spark some curiosity in you, because it sure as hell did in me.

    Got it. Thanks for submitting another example of your writing talent again.

    Always grateful :)

    Hi @averageoutsider

    First time entering. Such great topics to choose from! Looking forward to writing more. Thank you for the opportunity.

    Here is my entry:

    Received...Thank you @youhavewings for participating.

    Your balance is below $0.3. Your account is running low and should be replenished. You have roughly 10 more @dustsweeper votes. Check out the Dustsweeper FAQ here: https://steemit.com/dustsweeper/@dustsweeper/dustsweeper-faq

    Thanks for participating.

    Do you want me to list your contest in the daily prompt contest section? And how does one get to be in the top three? Is it an elimination type thing or do you pick?
    Just curious :)

    Okay...any exposure would be greatly appreciated; thank you.

    It is a 'judged' process; a random pick is sometimes necessary when two or more authors have received the same score. As you know...it is sometimes difficult to come up with a winner with equal talent.

    I know!! I am so not into judging that we do everything random - just disqualify if people didn't meet the very lenient requirements :)

    Received @botefarm; thank you for entering the contest.

    Okay here's my post. I hope you all read it. It may change your lifes

    WhooHoo....got it :)

    Count me in for 'one' sponsorship support @averageoutsider ... I'll also be up-voting some of the participants to show additional support for their work. Best wishes.

    Oh, I almost forgot...I'll sponsor at least one of the winners from my account directly, and possibly send some votes in various ways.

    That's so awesome! Thanks for the support @angyman :D

    Got it @mariannewest ... thank you for participating and promotional help.
