Hello there! Welcome to our digital castle.

Well. That sure was a fascinating quest from The Marketplace this previous week!
Will do a more in depth write up soon as we approach the Grand Opening of The marketplace.
But.. I definitely want to do more of those in the future. :)
Do you ever wish certain things in the world had more attention put towards them?
I know I do! There's a lot of them, and I'm sure a number of you feel similar.. I think steemit pulls together a lot of people who have a message and who want to try to help change the world for the better.
So I was thinking for this challenge, I want you to create a blog post about what you think the most important issue is out there that needs more attention put on it in your opinion. For example.. Could be environmental damage, world hunger, war, or corruption in government.. I could think of numerous other things as well!
Oh and.. If you have any ideas about potential solutions feel free to include them as well!
If there were easy solutions these things would likely already be solved, but sometimes just talking about something even if there's no apparent solutions can be helpful. Sometimes just talking about things can lead to new further ideas and developments one might not typically expect.
Whoever brings the most compelling case as voted on by the judges will win this round!
Also.. If you can't think of a single most important issue, just give us one of the most important ones you can think of.
And now a moment for our sponsors!
First up is @ats-david who has helped greatly! If you appreciate this contest or just his efforts in general you may want to look into voting for him as a witness at @ats-witness, he does a lot of other cool things for the community as well!
Next is @timcliff who has similarly helped out the contest significantly and who is also a witness who does a lot for the community, so likewise if you appreciate the efforts you may want to vote for him as witness also!
@krnel has also offered some support and does other good things to help out on the platform in general, I suggest you vote for krnel as a witness as well if you want to support all of this.
I'd also like to thank @theguruasia who has pledged at least 20 steem to the second and third place prizes and he said he may even donate more.
And @nxtblg who has been regularly resteeming and upvoting our challenges which has been a big help!
Plus one other person who has been helping a lot who deserves some credit is @soundlegion who has also been upvoting the contests regularly.
And while not technically sponsors, we are working with @davemccoy and those at #newbiegames and #newbieresteemday and they do a great service to the community so definitely check them out if you appreciate that, or if you're new.
Also not a sponsor, though @iexplore has taken a huge workload directly off of my shoulders and is now doing the "catch up" rounds, those should be posted on the @ifc page.. And I suggest giving him a follow and some support as well if you appreciate the work as he is doing an amazingly helpful and important job! Oh and he usually posts the catch up rounds on Sunday the day after I post mine on Saturday.
For this challenge.. If there's a tie.. We will do another round to see who wins.
The winner will be decided by whoever gets the most votes.
The only people who can vote in a qualifying sense are myself and the judges I've selected and we will vote by leaving a comment on the submission that we like the most and say something like.. "I vote for this one" and a reason why we voted would be good too, but is not mandatory.
You have until this challenges post payout ends to submit your post. Though we do accept late entries if you get it in before all the judges vote.
The challenge will finish after 7 days when the post ends and provides its payout cycle and unless there is a tie, the winner will gain the steem, the XP and have a point to go towards their long term win. (minus the 25% for curation)
