Contests, Giveaways and Raffles!

If you own a camera or smartphone with a camera then this is the contest week for you! There are so many opportunities to put your photographic inspiration to good use and win some SBI shares.

There’s also a first in the contests. If you’re a gamer, you can put your skill to work and try to win two out of three games to get SBI shares. What a cool idea! But hurry to enter that one as the first one to do it wins it all.

We also have a good mix of other opportunities too. So take a look and see which ones interest you most.

Remember if you want your contest listed, the best way to get noticed is to post it in the contest channel in the SBI Discord server.

Please try to think about your submissions and reward these great hosts with quality submissions. If you enjoy somebody’s contest format, check their feed for more, and follow them so you don’t have to wait for our listing to come out!

If you want to see more contests before we mention them, check the #steembasicincome tag in Trending or New and see what's happening! We also have a contests channel in our Discord server.

Check out these recurring contests too!

Quite a few industrious Steemians run contests regularly. Here is a list of the ones we know about at the moment. All of these have been running for months so you can count on their posted schedule.

Be sure to check each account and look for the contest name as the links change each week. Also remember to read the full contest description as the rules and prize values sometimes change.

@freewritehouse

The folks over at @freewritehouse run three contests each week. All of them are designed to encourage community engagement and highlight other's work. Besides the prizes from the @freewritehouse account, they are always interested in hearing from anyone who will sponsor a contest and so they can offer even bigger prizes.

Favorite Freewrite

A Favorite Freewrite You Read contest runs every Tuesday for just 24 hours. You need to read some freewrites written (you can read this post to see what they are), and then comment on the contest posts about which ones you liked best and why. If they choose your comment you win shares of SBI.

Favorite Freewrite Poem

Recommend your Favorite Freewrite Poem is a poetry version of the Favorite Freewrite contest and it runs every Friday. Make a comment about a freewrite poem you loved and you could win SBI shares. But be quick! When Friday is over, so is the contest - until the next week that is.

We Write

We-Write is a new challenge they’ve just started in the last few weeks. It runs every other Wednesday with a prize of 4 SBI divided among winners.

Finish the Story Contest

https://steemit.com/@bananafish

This weekly contest is run by @f3nix. He recently launched the @bananafish account which now hosts the contest which runs every Wednesday. He posts the beginning of a story, and you finish it. Then you post your complete story for everyone to read. One of the prizes is SBI shares. The important thing to know about this contest is that it's an ongoing creativity workshop, so if you miss one deadline you can participate in the next.

Paying it Forward

https://steemit.com/@pifc

In the spirit of helping new Steemians, this contest focuses on curating great content and is run by @pifc. It runs weekly on Mondays and asks that you find two "High Quality Original Content Blog Posts" to recommend for curation. Four judges decide which recommendations were the best and multiple winners get SBI shares. Follow @pifc to see the latest contest post and read it for full details.

ZapFic Writing Contest

Zapfic

Like super short stories? Try writing one in 232 characters or fewer for your chance to win SBI in this contest run by @felt.buzz. Every Wednesday he posts a new prompt to use for your very short story. Be sure to read the rules on this one as you'll need a Zappl account to qualify, but your stories will be automatically posted to Steem too.

Steemit World Map Challenge

https://steemit.com/@runicar

Travel the world with your fellow Steemians in the #swmchallenge run by @runicar. You simply need to share a blog about a place you visited and share it on the map (read the post to see how). You’ll need pictures and good descriptions if you want to get noticed and win the SBI shares.

Caption Contest

Help celebrate digital art by creating creative captions for the week’s selected picture. Read all the rules carefully to be sure your entry qualifies for the SBI prizes.

Punday Monday

https://steemit.com/@improv

From the creator:

What is Punday?
Punday is the best day. It's the day we post a topic upon which you are invited to pun in the comments for a chance at SBI shares. You get to read all the incredible puns, and you can try your hand at puns, and you can just bask in the warmth and love that punsters offer. I am your Puntender, and I serve hot puncakes with Mapun Syrpun.

Pirate Sunday

https://steemit.com/@dixiesilverminer

Come help tell the adventures of Captain K, a fictional character with a quite a history! To enter, read the current post and previous stories, then write your own version of what “piratey” things he gets up to next.

What is it?

https://steemit.com/@insideoutlet

Inspired by a game she played with the kids at her niece's birthday one year, this game is straightforward. She posts an image, and you guess what it is. The rules are simple enough, guess right and win an SBI share.

Thank you economy

Every week you can visit the Thank You Economy contest and tag someone who has helped you. When you do, both of you could win SBI shares from the ever growing prize pool!

What does today mean to you?

Here’s the description from the contest creator:

This is a weekly contests to giveaway SBI shares to the winner(s) - the best "one out of six" from "qualified #ccc entries"

The theme of your post-entry is to -

  • present a personal story,
  • illustrated with at least one relevant photograph taken by you, the contestant,
  • about the day or the days surrounding it.

It is set to be a weekly contest on Wednesdays, although, on some special occasions, it will be pre-announced due to a special day such as a holiday.
So, far, this contest has inspired some wonderful memories in these entries.

72 Hour Raffle

How to get on the recurring contest list

Do you run a regular contest that you’d like to see in our recurring contest section? We have some simple criteria you need to have to be included:

  • SBI shares must be part of the prizes given out.
  • Contest needs to be running 5 weeks or 10 contests on a consistent schedule, whichever comes first.

If you think your contest qualifies let us know in the comments or on our Discord channel and we’ll check it out.

Instead of trying to be thoroughly comprehensive (and then end up not publishing) like we have before, we have only included the most recent contests (skipping duplicates). If we missed yours, feel free to share it in the comments for our readers to find, and to stop by our Discord server to post it in the contests channel.

Enrollment

If you want to get involved, or to increase the share of basic income that you receive, enrollment is pretty straightforward:

Just send 1 STEEM to @steembasicincome. Include the name of a Steemian to sponsor in the transaction memo (preceded by @). You and the person you sponsor will each receive 1 share in the program. You can sponsor any active Steemian, it does not have to be a current member.

If you're unclear, please check out our full transaction memo guidelines and then let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi @steembasicincome, I’ve noticed that one of my SBI’s has dropped off my posts. Usually I see a SBI6 in my upvotes along with a SBI9 yet the last two posts I’ve put up don’t have a SBI9 upvote.

Here, this is what I’m talking about:
DF5E0ED8-2641-4877-9076-79B57743D893.jpeg

B2EDD706-A699-4647-8067-7D969C55B6BD.jpeg

And then my most recent posts without sbi9’s upvote:

E82B47FB-C95F-4D7A-AACB-B012FDDF5276.jpeg

D8745D38-D8F5-4DF2-80C0-7C68FFE8D06D.jpeg

I know they don’t hit every single time but make most of my posts and am just curious as to what’s changed.… thank you in advance for explaining it to me.

You should be getting vote from only one pool account. If you were getting both, then it was by mistake and we fixed the error.

Hey, thanks for responding. Okay, because I’ve had both sbi’s hit me since I’ve had sbi hit me. Thanks for the clarification and thanks for all that you guys do. Cheers!

@sbi5 I have not but now that you that I'm aware of this I'll make sure I mention it! @ntowl is this something you could help me with? Should I reach out on discord?

Are these every 1000? A move to every 5k between 25k and 50k and then every 10k until 100k and every 25k above that would make RC more manageable for this program.

I wonder if the recurring contests could get "featured" occasionally. There were more folks finding us anew from these before Punday Monday became a part of "recurring".

That's a good suggestion. I can talk to @ntowl about some ideas you gave me around this.

Thank you for this wonderful information and helping the community to grow

This is a positive 'hey!' that we listed your contest?

No, it isn't listed, that's why I'm publishing it in here. I think I published it too late on discord.

Oh, i get it now. Thank you for sharing!
