The OFFICIAL, ORIGINAL starting date for the STEEMIT'S GOT TALENT has come!

Very excited to announce this, as it is something I have been working on for a while now, but something I have thought about since I began my Steemit journey in December!  So come join us here at S.G.T.!  Any TALENT is A TALENT!  Below I have stated the official ruleset set forth!  Lets rock and roll! <3

OFFICIAL RULE SET! (Submission, Judging, Payouts)

Submission Rules: 

1. Craft a new post w/ the talent video link, Titling it "Steemits Got Talent Entry # (whatever week you are competing in)" (allowing you to curate a payout from your personal post)
2. Comment upon the S.G.T weekly post with a link to your video (allowing you to curate rewards on the comment as well)
3. FIRST TAG MUST BE SGT (lowercase of course)
4. 2 ENTRIES PER PERSON! One entry may be a previously used video (posted to steemit already). The old entry used, must still be recreated to the above submission rules.  The other must be made!
5. The contest entries will be accepted from Monday-Sunday,  although the faster the entry comes in (after Monday) the better, so your entry has more time to accumulate upvotes!

Judging Process 

1. I am keeping it fairly basic when it comes to judging! The entry with the MOST upvotes on the S.G.T weekly post WINS! (will be counted the 7th day, Monday and payouts will be sent out by Tuesday!)
2. Which is why it is vital to get your entry in early in the week, allowing for more time to network and promote your entry! (I will be resteeming entries as well.)
3. There will be a judging panel which will respond to each entry,  ALTHOUGH THIS DOES NOT COUNT TO DECIDE THE WINNER, it is simply for viewing pleasure! 

The question you have all been waiting for, the PAYOUT SCHEDULE! First off, I would like to say this will be a true gamechanger that brings everyone who enters up on the platform.   

1. % of the S.G.T weekly posts will be put right back into the contest, to improve awards.
2. The contest will start with 1st 2nd 3rd place prizes and grow to 4th and 5th, even more (to spread out payouts, and give more people a chance to earn a reward payout.) I believe paying out smaller rewards to more people in the future will help this contest standout as not a personal money maker, but a place where we all can improve our talents and make some payout as well. 

PAYOUT SCHEDULE (To start, updates regarding 4th and 5th etc place rewards will be released prior to that weeks contest) 

1. First Place- 30 SBD
2. Second Place- 20 SBD
3. Third Place- 10 SBD

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

Discord: bambam808#0272 and of course Steemit.chat! 

I would love to team up with some of YOU and make this one of a kind contests take off for the benefit of all of us, the Steemit community as a whole! 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! With Love,
