Steemit is home to many creative people. I always enjoy seeing people's creative skills, so in honor of that, I decided to start a weekly contest!

This contest is all about creativity. I basically want you to spin me a tale. The catch is: I give you your subjects.

Seeing as this contest is completely new, I am basing the rewards on the payout this post generates. This will be happening for the first few times atleast, until I get an idea of how many people are interested in this. Once I get my baseline, my goal is to award a set amount of SBD as the price money. Basically: the more people join, the more the contest earns and the bigger the prices will be.

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 (Maximum of 500 words), 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. I try to be as fair as I can!

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 #1 - [Title of your entry]".
• The first tag of your entry post has to be #marveloustales (I will be using this tag to sort through all of the entries).
• Your entry should be kid-friendly, meaning no PG-rated content.
• A maximum of 500 words is allowed for your tale.
• Drawings and pictures are allowed, but make sure they tell a tale (and explain it to me in words, just to be sure I don't miss your meaning).
• Because the prices are based on the payout of this post (for now), you must upvote this post to compete.

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:

• Castle
• Burglar

This week's deadline:

Tuesday 20th of june, 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 the 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!
