The Marvelous Tales Contest

In honor of all the creativity here on Steemit, I'm hosting the Marvelous Tales Contest.

The idea is simple: I give you two words, and you build your tale around these two words. You could write a story, make a comic or video, use a drawing or photo to accompany your tale, or even write a song. You can submit your entry by creating a post dedicated to this contest.

I will be picking the winner based on originality, creativity and entertainment value. Subjected, ofcourse, to my personal opinion, but I try to be as fair as I can!

Last week's results:

Third place
@turtledance24's entry won 0.213 SBD
I saw the word 'mirror' once.

Second place
@irastra's entry won 0.355 SBD
There was a widow in the story.

First place
@lethargicwriter's entry won 0.639 SBD
Best stuck to the words, and also kept me wondering.

I enjoyed reading all of the entries very much. Congrats to the winners!

Proof of payout

Contest number 11

The rules:

• Your entry must be original work and completely of your own making.
• One entry per person.
• You have to name your post as followed: "Marvelous Tales #11 - [Title of your entry]".
• The first tag of your entry post has to be #marveloustales (I will be using this tag to sort through the entries).
• Your entry should be kid-friendly, meaning no PG-rated content.
• Drawings and pictures are allowed, but make sure they are accompanied by a tale.

Prices:

• First price: 45% of the SBD this post makes.
• Second price: 25% of the SBD this post makes.
• Third price: 15% of the SBD this post makes.

This week's words:

The words you need to spin your tale around this week are:

• Red

This week's deadline:

Monday 28th of august, at 11:00 AM CET (Central European Time, UTC+1).

Closing notes:

• I reserve the rights to disqualify any entry I deem inappropriate.
• Due to the contest being new, the rewards are based on payout of this post. My goal is to change this in the future.
• Rewards, winners and a new contest will be announced once this post is paid out.
• I'd be very grateful if you would mention a link to this post from your entry post (it's not a must!). It's a new contest and anything you could do to help broaden its reach is very much appreciated!

Thank you for your attention and I'm looking forward to seeing your entries!
