Steemit Writing Contests - January 27, 2018
There are an increasing number of writing contests here on Steemit, and some have excellent prizes that are well worth going after. The problem I was having was finding them in the sea of new posts in the contest tag. You might have been having the same problem.
Now you can simply drop by my blog each day to see what writing contests are going on across Steemit. I really do hope you find it useful.
This is an ongoing post that will be updated each day, with new contests added and expired contests removed. If you’re interested in writing contests, this daily post can be your one-stop-shop to keep updated on what’s new, and what needs to be submitted today.
Some great additions today, from a two-person freewrite, to a crayon inspired contest, and a 199 word musical prompt. Time to get writing!

If you really like what you've read consider following @moneyinfant - I'd love to have you join me.
wow you are fast!! Was going to tell you that I got the contest bug and am doing a second party day - and here you go!!
In future prompts, I am going to put your name to look for you contest announcement posts and just hight light the ones by other freewriters individually.
Is that okay with you?
Sure, that would be great, thanks!
These contests would really be of great help and encouragement to the average steemian.
Thankyou @moneyinfant
I certainly hope so. At the very least I hope I'm saving people some time now that they won't have to dig through loads of posts to find the writing contests - if they ever DO find them.
