CALLING ALL TALENTED STEEMITERS
After a month here on Steemit, we've seen the community grow exponentially. Steemit has become a showcase for talented writers, bloggers, photographers, artists, graphic designers and cryptocurrency-masters alike. But, we want to know:
What other talents are out there?
We believe a talent competition is a great opportunity for members of the Steemit Community to showcase any alternative talents they possess.

Maybe you're a closet magician, or perhaps you can contort yourself into a milkcrate. Or maybe, you're neither of those things but you know someone who is. This is a great opportunity to invite talented friends or family to sign up to Steemit to expand and diversify our community.
WE PROPOSE the Steemit Talent Competition where entrants upload a one minute video showcasing their share-worthy talents.
Amazing, weird or hilarious talents could include (but are not limited to):
- singing
- hoola-hooping
- origami
- dancing
- whistling
- blowing smoke rings
- musical instruments
- standup comedy
- drawing
- yodeling
- or anything uniquely Steemit
(Kept PG of course - No ping pong shows!)
The entry would be new footage made for the competition and verified verbally or with a dated sign. @rhi-marie and I would then judge the video based on: originality, overall performance, personality and audience response (up-votes).
As incentive (along with bragging rights), @rhi-marie and I will both offer 10 STEEM each, to be divided among the top three contestants. It's all we can offer at the moment, as we are minnows ourselves. If anyone wants to support the idea and donate some Steem to the winners (or believe yourself to be a worthy judge), please contact us at [email protected] or leave a comment on this post.
So that's it, in a nutshell. If our proposal is well received, we will announce the competition officially with full details under the tag #steemittalentcompetition along with our example entry to the competition.
So what do you say?
It should be noted that the #steemittalentcompetition was inspired by @jamtaylor's #steemitphotochallenge. @rhi-marie was recently chosen for second place and was generously donated 10 Steem from @blueorgy which she would like to pay forward to another talented steemiter. We believe steemit is proving to be a great platform to support people's ideas and interests and we want to be part of that.
Update: @jamtaylor has kindly offered an additional 40 Steem to the competition, making the total prizes worth 60 Steem!
Update #2: @t3ran13 has also offered 5 STEEM to the competition! 65 STEEM is Up for grabs!
This is a nice initiative.
I will donate 40 Steem towards the prizes. :)
@jamtaylor, you are a gem! Thank you for your donation!
Welcome! I'll also add a link and mention it in the Steemit Photo Challenge to hopefully send some views over here.
@jamtaylor thanks so much! Appreciate the help!
I am going to post a video of me hula-hooping with an origami hoola-hoop while yodelling smoke rings and drawing a music instrument.
@jamtaylor How the hell can I compete with that?! I'm already declaring you the winner. Haha
Haha. Is there anything you can't do @jamtaylor?
