<div class="text-justify"><p>Contests seem to be appreciated on Hive. Many people seem to have fun participating and its a great way to earn a little extra HIVE in prizes! I participated in a contest after only being on the blockchain a month, and remember how stoked I was to win first place and get a few SBD <em>(yeah, back in the legacy days)</em> added to my wallet! It was definitely something that motivated me to stay with the platform and remain active!</p>

<p>It occurred to me recently that there might be Redfish and Minnows on the platform that would enjoy running their own contest but lack funds to give as prizes. So, here is an idea to help remedy that situation.</p>

<h3>Call for Submissions:</h3>

<p>If you would like to create and run your own contest, <b>write a post</b> on the Hive blockchain about that contest. <b>You</b> pick the theme. Tell me how you will run the contest and how you will accept submissions. Tell me how you will judge the contest (whether by yourself, or with a panel-of-judges). Tell me how you will pick the winners. Tell me how you will assign the prizes (1st/2nd/3rd-place winners, or one-winner plus runners-up, <em>etc.</em>) totalling <b>35 HIVE</b>. That's it!</p>

<p>The person whose contest idea impresses me the most will be declared the winner and will receive 5 HIVE. That winner must then write their own contest post. Upon successfully running their contest, picking the winners, and writing their post announcing those winners, I will transfer <b>35 HIVE</b> in prizes to the winners they pick. The winner of <b>my</b> contest mentioned in this post will then receive an extra <b>20 HIVE</b> of their own (25 HIVE, total) for successful completion of their contest!</p>

<h3>Eligibility:</h3>
<ul><li>Must have less than 5000 HP in your wallet (Redfish & Minnows only!)</li><li>Must have less than 50 liquid HIVE and HBD in your wallet</li><li>Must have a Reputation Score over 25</li></ul>

<h3>The Rules:</h3>
<ul><li>Must write a post on the Hive blockchain about your contest</li><li>Must place a link to your post in a comment on this post</li><li>Must have a winning entry to earn the 5 HIVE
</li><li>Must run your own contest & pick winners of the 35 HIVE prize money</li><li>Must write a post announcing those winners to earn the extra 20 HIVE</li></ul>

<h3>Disclaimer:</h3><p>My judging of this contest will be completely subjective, of course. I reserve the right to disqualify an entrant based on my perception of their wallet's status. For instance, someone may have less than 50 HIVE in their wallet simply because they recently PoweredUp some HIVE or transferred funds to an outside exchange. And, of course, what <em>"impresses me"</em> is entirely subjective, too.</p>

<center><h3>So, tell me about the contest you'd like to run!</h3></center>
<center>(You have until this post pays-out to respond!)</center>
