Entering contests is one of the best ways of getting involved with and making new friends in the steemit community. Part of the reason that I am making this post is because I am taking part in a contest myself. (But I will tell you more about that later! :))
There are loads and loads of different contests going on all the time here which cover all manner of interests such as art, music, photography and writing as well as a multitude of others that take place every day. Some are regular contests like those organised by the force of nature that is @papa-pepper and some are spontaneous like this one I am having today but all of them are a fun way of engaging with other steemians .
The world outside of our beautiful wee community can be a pretty serious place and all of us could do with a bit of a laugh at times so I've decided to set up an easy little contest that anyone can enter with a prize of 10 SBD for whoever can tell the funniest joke. :)
For anyone who doesn't know what a joke is....:{)
A joke is a short humorous piece of oral literature in which the funniness culminates in the final sentence, called the punchline… In fact, the main condition is that the tension should reach its highest level at the very end. No continuation relieving the tension should be added. As for its being "oral," it is true that jokes may appear printed, but when further transferred, there is no obligation to reproduce the text verbatim, as in the case of poetry.[1]
All you have to do to enter is post your joke in the comments section as well as giving this post an upvote and resteem to your followers.
I would also suggest that you take the time to read some of the other jokes and give an upvote to the ones you like! :)
After the seven day reward period has ended I will choose a winner.
It's as easy as that!
You can enter as many times as you like!
This is all about having some fun and engaging with the community so please try to keep your entries family friendly!
As I mentioned, part of the reason I am having this contest and making this post is because I am taking part in another contest run by @merej99 called the Community Engagement Contest and part of the requirements mean that I have to gain 500 comments in the next five days. I thought this might be a fun way of trying to achieve that and would be very thankful if you could help me hit my target by taking part and leaving your joke in the comments section. :)
As with my own contest it is aimed at increasing engagement between users within our growing community and encouraging more interaction which I believe is a very worthwhile cause.

If you think this is a good, fun contest then you may also want to take part in the weekly contest I hold called 'Learn To Draw With Friends!' aimed at learning and improving drawing skills. It has a weekly Prize Pool of 35 SBD and is open to all abilities with winners determined by which entries gain the most amount of votes from the community.
If you are interested in taking part or showing your support by voting for the entrants then please click on the contest post link below.
