RE: Inviting Suggestions For India Specific Contests!
Hi @firepower ,
We have Dtube, Dlive, Dmania, Dsound that work on steemit blockchain. But I won't prefer any sort of contests making use of them as it will again make it suitable only for a small number of people. But the writing contests are different which is inclusive in nature. Hence mainly creating content via writing and using other mediums along with it would be the best practice in initial days.
India has immense potential..Our cultural diversity is vast, We are speaking 100s of languages, We got a rich literature works dating back to 1000s of years, It is in our land that a number of world religions took their first breath....See, we have no dearth of ideas as is the case of any other parts of the world. As the contests that we are planning are within our demography, We can handle many simmering topics.
Why can't we come up with our ideas on moves made by our Union/State governments that would have a pan India level effect? Nothing can deter us from doing this as a contest as POLITICS is and should an integral part of every human. Prizes need not necessarily to be in SBDs/Steems. In last month I saw an African community distributing keyboards and OTG cables to those who have no laptops with them. We can offer good books and many other stuffs as the price.
Many people from India suffer here because of ENGLISH .contests can be splitted into regional languages along with translations..I know it is double work, but translations has to be mandatory even if it is a broken English (People like me who are from south india don't know hindi).
We have the potential to create original science, cultural and unique quality contents. When someone search something about India on Google, Greatest contents should be from steemit. That's where the success lies in!
I should say, only original and quality contents have to be selected for curation and price distribution. A single person can't do this, so a group of people is necessary!
