<div class="text-justify"><h2>Hello DIYers - 2nd Contest Month of 2023!</h2>

As you well know, we are a <a href="https://peakd.com/c/hive-189641/created">DIY community</a> here on HIVE with the sole aim of supporting DIY creators all around the globe. Within this community we are hosting a monthly contest to encourage and reward great authors out there, and with each contest comes a theme. Because we are fully non-profit and share 100% curation reward with our delegators we have collected a bunch of cool projects and communities who are open to supporting us with the monthly prize pools. This time we have partnered up with <b>3SPEAK</b>! More on them and <u><b>the huge prize pool</b></u> of this month - let's spend a moment to recab the January contest month first.

## Contest Partner of this Month: 3SPEAK
    
<div class="pull-right"><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/diyhub/23xyQuwjNiSeoijCn2579JwkSo3pi2WnL7TGYk6H6m5D7d5Su2osJC9xFXVEgkHXBgeAp.png"></div>

<div class="text-justify"><a href="https://3speak.tv/">3SPEAK.TV</a> is a video sharing platform which is born on and is connected to the HIVE blockchain. It is the favourite spot for video creators on HIVE to upload their content, get exposure and grow their audience. 
    

@threespeak is constantly growing and developing new features to satisfy their user base. Their newest feature is <b>3speak shorts</b>!<br>
<b>You will receive a curation for using the shorts in the 3speak Acela app at threespeak's discretion! </b>

### How to get the app on your device? 
Android App: https://appdistribution.firebase.dev/i/047cfb506633e639
iOS App: https://testflight.apple.com/join/0tipqwsZ

#### 3SPEAK, PROTECT YOUR CONTENT, TOKENISE YOUR COMMUNITY
    
3Speak is a place where content creators directly own their onsite assets and their communities. Using blockchain technology, the ownership of these assets and communities are intrinsic to the creator and the user, not 3 Speak. They are therefore transferable to other apps that use blockchain technology. This means that if we do not serve the community and creators in the best possible way, they can take the assets they have generated and move them to another app. The result is that 3Speak is censorship resistant, cannot take your assets away or delete your communities.</div>

## How to join the Contest?

<div class="text-justify">All you have to do is to create a DIY post centering around the prompt/theme of the month, i.e <i>moon</i>. It could be anything DIY, like knitting moon clothing, a craft of a moon object, a drawing of a moon, etc. It doesn't necessarily have to fit exactly or show the prompt but it should be based on the theme of the month in some way.

#### 1 Prompt
This month's prompt is our big friend the <b>MOON</b>. Create something related to this theme and always remember: The more creative you get the higher is the chance of winning!

#### 2 Rules
1. Generally, follow [our rules and target niches](https://peakd.com/hive-189641/@diyhub/faq-content-requirements-and-our-target-niches)
2. Make a post with the topic of the month until the <b>25th of February</b>
3. Post your article inside of the [DIYHUB community](https://peakd.com/c/hive-189641/created)
4. Use the tag <b>#MOONCONTEST</b> for your post 
5. Share the link to your HIVE article in the comments of this post
6. You can participate with multiple entries if you want

#### 3 Tips
- use the new short feature of 3speak to save the chance of a curation by @threespeak! (If you use a shorts video then it has to be <b>between 61 and 90 seconds long</b> to count as a valid entry for the contest)
- To maximize your chances get creative and think outside the box. Create something unique with the prompt and try to avoid the obvious
- use the long time until the deadline to optimize your post as much as you can
- The more details your post contains about the process the better your chances will be
- as you can read in the [rules and target niches](https://peakd.com/hive-189641/@diyhub/faq-content-requirements-and-our-target-niches) <b>we only accept processes/tutorials</b> not just posts about the final result

#### 4 Prizes

And now what we are all waited for - the prizes. @Threespeak donated all of this! We are super stoked and can not wait to see your cool entries!<br>
<center>
1ST PRIZE: <b>130 HIVE</b><br>
2ND PRIZE: <b>70 HIVE</b><br>
3RD PRIZE: <b>30 HIVE</b><br><br>
</center>
Big thanks to @threespeak and the team behind to donate this huge prize pool! We are looking forward to some amazing entries encouraged by the prizes!
    
The winners will get announced within the next contest announcement on <b>1st of March</b>!
