“Happiness can exist only in acceptance.”

Good Luck to all Contenders


What is the Creativity Contest all about?


In short: It is simply about generating a valuable entry based on the word associated with each round.
The entry/comment with the most upvotes wins.

In depth: The idea is to stimulate and engage steemians in creative work through rewards and competition. My assumption is that larger the reward gets the more challenging it becomes to win which will lead to a greater level of competition therefore higher quality of work being submitted.

The Creativity Contest could possibly:

  • Encourage differentiation
  • Push steemians to avoid complacency
  • Help Forming unexpected partnerships, as the competition allows people to cooperate and work on an entry/comment.
  • Provide a nest for mutual learning, as steemians will have the chance to learn and get inspired by the many ways of approaching self-expression.
  • Lead to highly Imaginative work, as competition gets rougher.

How to enter the contest?


Let's say Mr. Herbert Hoover wants to enter Round #37 and the word associated with it is "Competition"

All he has to do is represent the meaning of the word in an original entry/comment (100% his work and creation)

  • He can write a definition of the word (no plagiarism)
  • He can post a video in which he discusses the meaning of the word
  • Any Art form that could symbolize and represent the word (humor, painting, drawing, music..)
  • He can write a short story
  • He can discuss the origin of the word
  • Discuss its meaning philosophically
  • Literally anything goes as long as it is his original work

Mr. Hoover decided to share what he thinks about "Competition" in a short sentence
and before entering his post he made sure to use this format:

Contest Entry:


If your life is bitter and no one is kind,
And if tears start falling on your pale cheek,
And the question "why me?" is comeing to your mind,
Remember that up there Someone wants to see your acceptance for all !

I tried to make up a short poem about Acceptance, but I will try to explain it as simple as possible, and more you can see on one of my posts that it happened to be quite connected with the therm Acceptance.
Quote of The Day #3 - See the bright side of any moment and anything that your life brings to you ! - 28.08.17

Acceptance to me, it means that I have to take what God gives to me in life without complaining about the bad things that sometime come along with those that are good for me.

Contest Entry:

Acceptance

To wear a tie or not. His son was coming home for the first time in seven years, this called for a tie. He had hired a caterer, it was going to be a splendid dinner, his son was bringing his partner, things had to go right.

Jeremiah landed in Nigeria for the first time in seven years. After a disagreement with his father he had left and promised not to return, but now his mom was dead and she was the only one who really cared for him. He had to come back for her.

Chief Aliko was in the living room when the driver returned from the airport with Jeremiah and his partner. He went off to welcome them at the door. He had looked forward to seeing his son for years, the reason behind their initial dispute seemed so insignificant now, but he was a proud Nigerian father, he wasn't one for apologies.

He's acting like the past seven years didn't happen. Like he didn't say he didn't want me as a son, Jeremiah thought. He still held some resentment towards his father but he was surprised the man could stand seeing him with another man, he didn't even expect to be invited back into the house.

Chief Aliko felt awkward greeting his son's partner. The whole gay thing still didn't sit right with him, but he had prepared for this moment. It didn't matter if his son was gay or not. He just wanted his son back.

Contest Entry

There will never be acceptance about this!:
