Is everyone ready?! I know we here at the S.G.T. HQ are! 

As you know, we are currently in week #3 of Steemits Got Talent!  The last 2 weeks have been amazing, growing and gaining momentum with each passing week. This week is no different!  With each passing week we here at the HQ have been striving to come up with ways to improve the contest!  Ways to bring more winning to all of you! Whether in the form of prizes for placing, or entertainment for those watching the entries and voting, We are striving to bring the best of SGT out! 

With this said, We have some EXCITING changes to annouce!

Problem 

Since its release, SGT has gained traction and "steem."  We wanted to figure out a way to improve upon the quality and momentum that this contest has gained. Like many things in life, innovation is key and change is a must!  

Changes

drum roll please.... (jk- we are all busy, lets get to it)

Let me begin by saying the contest will continue, more or less unchanged! Its the same great contest, with the same great prizes.  These steps will make the contest more fun, more thrilling, and more entertaining!

• The contest will now be in seasons!
• There will be 15 weeks in each season! thats right 15 weeks! (ten weeks regular season, 5 weeks eliminations READ BELOW)

Seems basic enough right?  Not much of a change? well GUESS again. We here at the HQ are always taking it to the next level!

• After the 10 weeks are up, the first place WINNERS of all the respective weeks will be taken to the next ROUND.
• The 10 winners will be expected to enter with new entries, and should be going for gold!  If an entrant does not enter, they are disqualified.
• These rounds will be called eliminations.  They will begin week#1 with all 10 entrants, with 2 entrants being "cut" every week.  This means there will be 5 weeks of eliminations to FIND that respective seasons SGT CHAMPION!

Sounds exciting right? Thats because it will be!

So, to go over it again for all of you! I dont want anyone to say we never told them so! 

Steemits Got Talent will now be in seasons, with the first 10 weeks being free entry.  As in ANYONE CAN ENTER!  After the 10 weeks is up, the winners from each respective week (1-10) will be into the next round of SGT: The Eliminations.  These will start with the 10 winners, with 2 entrants being cut every week, until it is down to just two entrants facing off for the Elusive Title of STEEMITS GOT TALENT Season (#) CHAMPION!

Two first place winners have already been found! Are you the next weekly first place winner? YOU COULD BE!

Shout out to the two current weekly first place winners as they qualify for SGT: The Eliminations.

week#1 - @acromott

week#2 - @leelektrik

What does this mean for the weekly first place winners... GREAT QUESTION!

This means two things for the first place winners from every week:

1. 1st Place Winners are qualified for the SGT Eliminations, and have the opportunity to greatly increase their viewer base, as well as a chance to win much MUCH larger prizes. (still in discussions, but we can promise you they will knock your socks off!)
2. They cannot win 1st place in ANY of the other STEEMITS GOT TALENT weekly competitions.  (we know its a bummer, you can win 2nd or third but the whole point is to get 10 different FIRST place winners to compete in the Eliminations!)
3. If a 1st place winner wins again in the same season but a different week, they will be swapped with whomever receives second place, thus a new 1st place winner is born!
4. YOU MAY of course (and I extend a challenge and a hope to whomever can do this) win SGT SEASON CHAMPION back to back seasons!

AGAIN! THE FIRST TEN WEEKS OF EVERY SEASON ARE OPEN ENTRY! ALL TALENT WANTED.  The eliminations will then be ONLY the 1st place winners from each of those TEN weeks!

We here at SGT strive to bring only the best to this contest and community.  We are excited to make these announcements and look forward to everyone ramping up and really digging in, because the JOURNEY has JUST BEGUN!

 Steemit is the Key... and Love is the driver!

As I have always said, FOR THE STEEMIANS, BY THE STEEMIANS! A huge shoutout to my current sponsors, without you all this contest would not have come to fruition!  I am glad to have a solid foundation, as that is the building blocks to anything in life,  IF THE FOUNDATION is poor, the building itself (this contest) would be weak.  STRONG FOUNDATION + STRONG IDEAS + STRONG COMMUNITY = POTION FOR SUCCESS FOR ALL OF THE STEEMIANS!
