The Marvelous Tales Contest
In honor of all the creativity here on Steemit, I'm hosting the Marvelous Tales Contest.
The idea is simple: I give you two words, and you build your tale around these two words. You could write a story, make a comic or video, use a drawing or photo to accompany your tale, or even write a song. You can submit your entry by creating a post dedicated to this contest.
I will be picking the winner based on originality, creativity and entertainment value. Subjected, ofcourse, to my personal opinion, but I try to be as fair as I can!
Last week's results:
Third place
@lordmok's entry won 0.573 SBD
Second place
@hopehuggs's entry won 0.955 SBD
First place
@aedroberts's entry won 1.719 SBD
I enjoyed reading all of the entries very much. Congrats to the winners!

Thank you very much for entering the contest!

This is just such a beautiful way to encourage creativity....especially for persons like me that are new to steemit....I am definitely participating
Thank you, that's great to hear! Looking forward to your entry :-)
It's just for kids tales? :( I'm not so good with kids tales
Oh nono, it's not specifically kids tales at all. It just has to be kid-friendly, so no PG rated stuff.
What is that? i'm sorry english is my second idiom so i don't get many things as fast i would like :(
Oh no worries, basically, it means no exaggerated violence and sexual content. Nothing you wouldn't allow your kid to read. But you definitely don't have to go for a kid's tale :-)
Oh well... Already make a kids tale jajaja Hope you enjoy it

@playfulfoodie Thank you for being the Hostess with the Mostest for having this contest. You already got me smiling as what to write about. Doing stuff for children is so fantastic. There seems to be nothing that lights up their faces more than telling about my childhood adventures. It is that reaction that motivates me. I hope more Steemians discover you and your contest. I'll be doing my part. Be well.
Aww thank you very much for your kind comment @aedroberts! I really liked your story and am happy to hear you enjoyed the contest! Looking forward to reading your next entry :-)
Thanks so much for choosing me as one of your winners. I will get my thinking cap on ASAP as what I can do with rain and thunder. Will the squirrels have something to do with this?
Congratulations to the other winners too :)
Ooh I wonder what those squirrels might be up to next :-)
here you go...

nice contest!
Thanks! Will you be joining?
I would like to join only last contest I started writing and thought well I don't know how I will end this. Got stumped on the whole idea, worked my way into a corner and well that was it. Lol Your contests are great though the writing is good. See this doesn't even make sense ..
Resteeming people really check this out.
Aww no, what a shame! Just try again until you find a good ending :D
LOL you are funny.. sometimes the ending is the beginning . the time loop is consistent in my mad hatter mind. :)
Mad hatter mind huh? I think that's a good place for great stories, even if the end is the beginning :-)
I have the same problem! Having a deadline is a HUGE motivation to figure it out. Thanks, @playfulfoodie, for the contest!
