Contests! Thats just reminded me that there is a tag that is being encouraged by @mattclarke, #steemedhams.

While not a contest exactly, it's great if you like The Simpsons and to encourage participation Matt wants to delegate 200 SP for the rest of this year to someone each week who has participated the most on the tag via posts or comments. I think it's a great idea, because it is an icebreaker, it encourages participation and potential connections for newer users to get to know each other and a 200 SP for the rest of the year has the potential to really give a redfish or minnow a boost.

Also @contestkings does a daily post for verified contests.
