RE: THINKING ABOUT ORGANIZING A WRITING CONTEST? HOW WOULD YOU MANAGE A 300 STEEM BUDGET?
Hello there @crypto.piotr it is in deed a great initiative. Thanks for sharing it.
How would you structure reward system having a 300 steem budget?
Is a good question. I think the approach of giving between 5 - 10 prizes is good. I know from some my experiences that always it will be some people discouraged but this is normal. The thing is that everyone should feel part of it. So maybe:
- If you partner up with 1 or 2 curation communities you may give all the rest of competitors at least a vote so they may win some reputation, exposure and some Steem Power. This is what I think to do it more fair and also to motivate people within the contest.
- If you find a nice whale who may support you guys as well, at least for any contest, you can give more value in return.
Future Tip: If the contests grow enough you may consider to ask for a small amount of SBD or STEEM to each participant in order to power up(temporarly using @Blockctrades Sp delegation rent) then you may give more value.
I have a curation community but we only curate Spanish content, so if you plan to keep it up with the contests and also adventure into bilingual posts(ENG/ESP) I could you support you guys as well. We do have no more than 2,000 SP but we have a small trail so we may support a bit.
STEEM ON.
I almost missed your reply @theghost1980 (I guess because you upvoted it and it ended up on top of the comment page).
All your points are quite valid. And finding whale to support contest ... that would be always the best solution :)
Thank you again for your amazing feedback @theghost1980
It is a great idea this reward system that looks very efficient that could satisfy all the participants, it is very ingenious and will benefit many without doubt, with your vision on the subject
