STEEMIT IRON CHEF 2021 : Your favorite food competition of Steemit is coming back!!! Check out the first set of details on this unique kind of cooking contest! -DRAFT 01
Hello foodies of the Steemit world!!!
If you have joined Steemit back in 2017, you will surely remember this one of a kind cooking competition which I named STEEMIT IRON CHEF!
Within weeks, it became the most favorite cooking contest of the whole platform and each round we were getting an amazing amount of entries from foodies around the world...and the quality of the entries were like Michelin Star!
I will share some of the past entries in the coming days for you to get an idea of the level of Steemit Iron Chef (SIC)!
Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I had to stop the contest and concentrate a little more on my personal life. Now this is past thing and I am back rocking on Steemit since some months now!
Then yesterday...
After thinking a lot about how I can help in raising the food tag level on the platform...I decided to ask permission with @steemcurator01 to relaunch the contest!
And BAM...I got a very positive reply and here I am starting the planning to kick off this amazing cooking competition!
Food community
We already have the Steemfoods community led by the untiring @alikoc07 and his team of moderators doing a great job taking care of over 7850 subscribers and over 960 active posters- This is really not easy task and I know all the troubles he gets nearly everyday!
The food community is always huge on any platform you go...and with SIC I want to extend some help in terms of support and motivation to keep good authors deliver high quality food posts.
SIC is now here to further support foodies around and at the same time discover hidden gems and accompany them in their way to build up on the platform.
Ps. Hey @alikoc07, may be we can collab on some projects...let's connect!
STEEMIT IRON CHEF 2021

Feeling nostalgic here!Lol!
The Concept of Steemit Iron Chef!
There will be different ACTS on Steemit Iron Chef - 3 Acts per year(a full year).
Each ACT will have 15 different rounds/weeks of competition! So a total of 45 weeks/rounds of competition per year!
Exception for this year where we will have only 30 rounds + the Final Battle!
After the end of each ACT, there will be 1 FULL WEEK of complete rest to reset for the next one!
The Final Battle is where the top 3 of each Acts will compete on a theme that I will keep secret for now! - Check league system below!
And the winner is crowned Steemit Iron Chef for 2021!
Theme & Rewards system!
Every Friday, I will announce a single product - can be a veg or a fruit - and the participants will have to sublimate that particular product in either a starter/main/dessert!
For example, one week it can be 'Potatoes' and everyone will have to work on that particular product!
Each week there will be STEEM prizes for the ones coming first, second and third!
The total amount of SBDs made on the contest announcement post will be converted into STEEM and 50% will be shared among the top 3 and the other 50% will be sent to the reward pool...so the more the contestants votes and share the post...the more reward will be for them at the end of the day!
- Winner : 25% of the total SBD conversion
- Runner up : 15% of the total SBD conversion
- 3rd place : 10% of the total SBD conversion
And the other 50% goes in the @steemit-ironchef wallet for the reward pool!
The League!
The Steemit Iron Chef is not just about one week participation!!!
All participants will be awarded with points on top of their weekly winning prizes :
- 1 point for entering a valid entry
- 2 points for the one coming up 5th
- 3 points for the 4th
- 4 points for the 3rd
- 5 points for the 2nd
- 10 points for the winner
All these points will be calculated on a weekly basis till the end of each Act, this is how we will get the top 3 of each Act who will take part in the Final Battle in the last week of December 2021!
This year we are looking at having the top 6 best food authors of Steemit to battle for the title!
Rewards Pool for the league!
I have the @steemit-ironchef account who will act like a donation wallet!
All the SBD received/earned on that account will stay there till we complete each Act!
And the full total of SBD will be shared to all participants of the Act!
I will share the structure of the rewards pool distribution once the competition is kicked off!
Everyone's a winner with Steemit Iron Chef!
You are most welcomed to start donating on @steemit-ironchef to grow the pool!
And from time to time I will write some post from there to help get some SBDs in terms of rewards!
And every week the 50% from the converted SBD will also be saved until the end of each ACT on @steemit-ironchef wallet.
With a good support from everyone, this pool reward can be very big!
I know this post has become quite lengthy...but it is so important to write down everything so that we are all on the same level of comprehension of how SIC works!
Mark your calendar...
I am planning to kick off the 1st round of ACT 1 this coming Friday the 14th of May 2021!
If anyone has any questions or need more info, kindly let me know in the comments section below!
For now, before we kick off the first round, I would like to start seeing people subscribing to the Steemit Iron Chef community!
I will be sharing more informations on the contest over there!
ps. Contestants of Steemit Iron Chef can also get some nice votes from the steemcurators should your posts are of real high quality as we are expecting!
So a lot of different rewards with a single contest...this is Steemit Iron Chef!
