How To: Weekly
A NEW contest to show the Steemit world what you are made of, so others can make it!
Do you have a ‘How To’ you would like to share with your fellow Steemit members?
Are you a master at your craft and wish to share how you created, cooked, fixed or renovated it? Well, we have decided to hold this weekly contest to help you do so.
‘How To: Weekly’ is a weekly contest to showcase your creativity and knowledge. By sharing your talents, you have the potential to win Steem Backed Dollars and gain new followers, supporters and upvotes from readers. Each day of the week will feature a new topic for you to enter the contest.
Who can enter?
Anyone on Steemit can enter this contest, however, all entries must be written in English and must be original content created by yourself. This is to showcase your knowledge and talent on this platform.
What can we enter?
You must enter your own original content from the daily list below in the form of a step-by-step 'How To' guide. If cheetah or we discover that you have plagiarised something from the internet, the entry will be void. You must not enter the same ‘How To’ week after week.
All entries are to be text and image based. No videos (at this stage).
Daily Topics
Sunday: Art / Craft / Design
Monday: Fitness / Health / Beauty
Tuesday: Coding / Programming
Wednesday: Life Hacks - Ideas to make life easier
Thursday: Home Decorating / Gardening / Renovation
Friday: Food / Drink / Cooking
Saturday: Open – Any ‘How To’ that has not been allocated. Maybe about Steemit, Photography, Car repair, Fishing, Holidays, etc…
Prior topics allocated will not be accepted on a Saturday.
If you are knowledgeable in more than one area, you may submit one entry for each daily topic.
How do we enter and what tags do we use?
Your title should look something like this:
My Recipe for Amazing Burgers: Steemit How To contest for Friday by (and your @username)
If you enter on a Monday, use Monday instead and so on.
2 tags must be used in your entry. For example, if you enter on Sunday use the tag #howtosunday along with the tag #howtoweekly so we can find you.
Does it matter how we present the entry?
Yes, absolutely. Please make it clear, concise and readable, but most of all, easy to follow for your readers. Use at least one or more clear images with a step-by-step guide. Please do not beg to win or send any form of spam, this will void your entry. Your entry can be any length it requires, so long as it conveys the message you are trying to send in full.
Can we enter more than once each week?
Yes! However, only one entry per daily topic. If you have more than one topic to share, enter in the next weeks contest and so on.
Can we win more than once in the week?
Absolutely yes! If you have entered more than one entry over different topics you can win more than once that week. There are 3 tiers 1st, 2nd and 3rd place that is judged from all entries received that prior week.
What is the prize pool and when is it awarded?
There will be a weekly prize draw covering 1st, 2nd and 3rd place over all categories.
All authentic entries received during the week of submissions will be judged and awarded 7 days after close of contest that week. The prize money will grow as the contest itself grows.
The initial prize pool is 10 SBD each week and split as follows:
- 1st place: 5 SBD
- 2nd place: 3 SBD
- 3rd place: 2 SBD
Will this weekly contest be ongoing and will it be the same topics each week?
We really hope this will be ongoing. Many people have so much to contribute and many others love to learn new crafts or hacks.
This contest will run initially for 4 weeks, however, if it is well received, we will run it longer and the prize money will grow.
The topics will remain the same, so you can prepare easily. If you have a topic you wish to share that is not mentioned, you can enter on Saturday which is an open topic day.
How do we know if we have won?
We will announce the winners on our page one week after the week you entered closes. Please make sure it is tagged correctly and you are following our page so you don’t miss the announcement. We will submit your prize to you at the same time.
When does this contest start and close?
The contest runs from Sunday to Saturday each week starting this Sunday, the 25th Feb. Winners will be notified and announced the following Sunday.
The deadline for each topic is 23:59 AEST (UTC+10) that day. This is Australian Eastern Standard Time.
