Memechallenge RULES UPDATE - Let's increase rewards!

in #memechallenge6 years ago (edited)

Hello Memearmy!



Memechallenge became one of biggest contest on Steemit platform. With such popularity I am forced to change some rules to keep judging possible and fair!
Maybe you have noticed that there are many many entries every week, and only one judge judges per week. I think that it is not realistic to expect of one judge to look more then 500 per week.


That's why from #51 memechallenge deadline will be changed to 5 days. I will continue to organize memechallenge weekly but from now there will be 5 days for participating and 2 for judging.Also that won't reduce enough number of entries to help judges that's why I am forced to put limit to 2 entries per user.


Cool fact!

Because of this changes I will be able to increase rewards.


RULES UPDATE:

  • End of challenge will be on Friday at 12:00 (UTC +1)
  • Each user can have up to 2 entries that will be considered in challenge


Good luck everyone!

sounds good :)

sounds good :)

I think this is a good move. It will def make judging easier, i have been a judge and can say it is hard to go trough so many entries, I spent a few hours each day checking the page for entries so i didnt miss any. A good tip.if the judge sees a meme they like bookmark it then at the end you will be able to go through your favourites ;)

till now memechallenge didn't have any time to judge. The judge needed to send me winners immediately after deadline and I put post as fast as I can after recieve winners. There is no need for such a rush.
I think this will be really usefull change and it would not affect on popularity of challenge.

Its fairer this way, judging will be more efficient with less entries and there own time to work in :)

But higher rewards will bring more people and then we will have same problem again :D

Still having 2 days with no entries will make it so much easier. Its Good to book mark the ones you like as you go trough them. I hope the limit is 2 not just 2 will be judged?

I also judged before as you know , and am the one that got you started entering this contest in the beginning remember !? lol! I was asked to guest judge last weeks but had to decline as im very busy with my contest as well , many entries are hard to do , and i need to read through all stories ! but even though memes are quick , theres way to many lol! 😂 Im going to suggest just one entry . ✌👍😀💕

We will first see if there is need for only one entry per user. I will start slowly increase rewards and while doing that I will follow number of entries . Thank you for your help :)

Its your fault i got addicted lol ohhh so i took over your judging last week, so I'm 2nd best @fibra59 ... I'm hurt :(

Heres the reply I left him , after he notified me of the changes .

OK I see why now ! you know @fibra59 , most contests , like mine , and other various meme contests only allow for one entry , making it far more easier as well to weed through them especially if your getting 500 entries wow , you should go with only 1 entry each my friend and keep it at 7 or even 6 days would give time for the guest judge to decide ! I used to go through them as they came in once per day and put stars beside my favorites so when the contest ended I all ready had it narrowed down and it was easier to pick from there ! 💕✌👍😀 good luck !!

Is there that many entries? I didnt know that. If I have time I'll try to get some numbers with scripts.

I find bookmarking the ones you like helps :)

I am new here and i would love to participate but i don't know the process.can you help like showing a model or something? :)

@fibra59 Nice...because there's always room for improvement :)

Nothing is perfect :)

Thanks for the update. And I guess 5 days is enough for making 2 memes.

If you are funny person you can make 2 memes in 2 minutes :D

Hahahah. For this challenge, it took me 30 minutes to make my 2 entries... :))

After few weeks participating you will be able to make it in 5 minutes. Practice practice :D

Is there any chances that a judge by mistake miss someone's meme or photobomb?

I am trying to find every week another fair judge who wouldn't miss any entry!

I was curious so I asked this question. Thank you for clearing it out... Appreciated... :))

Always feel free to ask! ;)

Great news 👏🏻 In my small feed alone I see LOADS of entries, must be hard to go through them all. Amazing that it’s doing so well though!

Appreciate your support :)

Less of a flood on the tag with 2 entries, I like it! 5 days is more then enough aswell 💪

:))

Memes keep getting better and better

Like wine.. the older the better :)

Only exception between the two is the nonexistant word - memeoholic :D where as you can be alcoholic

that's a good news less day more meme challenge and more chance of winning! Thank you for hosting a memechallenge Fever! i am a fan of meme and Photobomb of yours!

Thank you and good luck :))

I like your rule

:)

Is there a theme, or specific image to use? Does it have to be an original meme?

Hi. I'm a newbie around. I've updated the posts already, and I would like to participate in this challenge, but I'm having a hard time trying to find the post to download the image. I'd appreciate your help to get to participating and upvoting.
Thanks.
(I am a university teacher in Venezuela, and I have introduced the topic of meme and memetics in an introductory Semiotics course I teach there. I'd just love to taste the creative bite of it.)

Thanks for the update though sometimes with the limit of 3, there are people putting more than that. Still some of them are really creative

I can not forbid someone to publish more than 2 entries but only 2 will be considered in challenge. I think that this rules will reduce number of entries so I can increase rewards :)

I know and I know there is some work in figuring out the first two when there are more. Maybe there is a easier way
