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:

This week's pickings come from our guest judge @geke. Thank you very much for judging the contest!

Third place
We only had two entries this week.

Second place
@irastra's entry won 0.219 SBD

First place
@svashta's entry won 0.395 SBD

@geke mentions:
I enjoyed both pieces, but picked the winner because it was closer to a work of fiction than the other one.

Congrats to the winners!

Proof of payout

Extra reward

As an added bonus, @geke is handing out some extra SBD to the two winners! @irastra will receive 5 SBD for winning second place and @svashta will receive 10SBD for winning first place. Please give her some time to transfer the prizes to you.

Thank you very much for the bonus prizes @geke!

Contest number 16

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 #16 - [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. No PG-rated content, but it does not have to be a kid's tale.
• Drawings and pictures are allowed, but make sure they are accompanied by a tale.
• Because the prizes are based on payout of this post (for now), you must upvote this post to compete.

Prizes:

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

This week's guest judge:

None! It's all me this week.

Closing notes:

• I reserve the rights to disqualify any entry I deem inappropriate.
• The rewards are based on the payout of this post. This might change in the future.
• Rewards, winners and a new contest will be announced once this post is paid out.
