Probably when you participate for the first time in a contest, you are attracted by

THE REWARDS, THE PRIZES. 🤑

(1)

But of course you also want to

SHOW WHAT YOU CAN, SHOW YOUR TALENT, 💎

(2)

and most probably you like to

CHALLENGE YOURSELF🚧

(3)

and to

HAVE A GOAL TO PURSUE! 🎯

(4)

Once you have submitted your entry and the first signs of

GRATITUDE, SUPPORT, FEEDBACKS AND COMPLIMENTS 💕

(5)

arise, you will feel your

SELF-ESTEEM AND SELF-CONFIDENCE 🎁

(6)

growing. You will see that by participating in the contest you

INCREASE YOUR VISIBILITY 👀

(7)

in the

COMMUNITY AND MAY GET MORE FOLLOWERS. 🐋

(8)

You start

MAKING CONNECTIONS AND NETWORKING ⛓️

(9)

with others having the same interests than you.

YOU DISCOVER WHAT OTHERS DO 🔎

(10)

and

LEARN FROM THEM. 🎓

(11)

When the closing deadline approaches, you will

FEEL THE SUSPENSE 🎲

(12)

and in case you are selected amongst the winners you

FEEL THE SELF-SATISFACTION 🗽

(13)

about your realization and

CONFIRMATION 🏆

(14)

of your talents. In case you are not part of the winners, let it

STIMULATE 🔋

(15)

you to

DO EVEN BETTER AND SURPASS YOURSELF 🚀

(16)

next time.

RAISE THE BAR 🎚️

(17)

even higher. By regularly participating, you will

DEVELOP YOUR SKILLS 📓

(18)

and

BUILD UP EXPERIENCE. 🏕️

(19)

You increase your

PERFECTION AND SHARPEN YOUR CHARACTER! 🖼️

(20)

The themes proposed can be a

SOURCE OF INSPIRATION 🌅

(21)

in case you are out of ideas. Most probably you will

GO OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE 👻

(22)

and

TRY SOMETHING NEW. 🔮

(23)

You can also use the contests to

TEST YOUR IDEAS 💡

(24)

and see how others react on it. Maybe the contests will become your

HOBBY! 🎨

(25)

THE FUN! 🎈
