Welcome to Week #17 of Steemit Talent Contest!

The winners of the following 12 weeks (Week#13-24) with battle it out for your votes to see who will join @yulita in the finals.

I am so pleased that Steemit Talent Contest is growing and really becoming a community here on Steemit. A huge thankyou to @luzcypher for sponsoring this contest! Without his generous sponsorship this contest would cease to be.

The whole idea behind Steemit Talent Contest is to create a community of Talented people here on Steemit and help people with exceptional talents get themselves out there and seen without having to go to extremes like entering X Factor! The extra bonus is you get to earn money from your posts just for entering thanks to this wonderful social media based blockchain that we all love called Steemit! Cant wait to receive your entries for this week. Lets see what you got! 😉
