@moneyinfant has added your contest to the list Steemit Writing Contests: Issue #52. The list is updated on a daily basis and your contest will remain on the list until its expiration - there's nothing you need to do.
The list was created to save writers the excessive amount of time spent searching through the #contest tag for writing contests. Now they can just come to the list each day, see new contests and use their time doing what they love - writing.
If you'd like to help spread the word about the Steemit Writing Contest List I'd really appreciate a resteem, but it certainly isn't necessary. The project is simply meant to help writers save time and contest creators attract more contestants.
P.S. If you know of any contests I've missed I'd love to hear about them. Thanks!
Cheers mate 🤓
Cheers to you as well!
Could all of our shared
Subjective realities
Make a multiverse

Two of the upper lines were hiden, when I first came here. Now I see them, but they don't have a Haiku metric!

Fell down, stood up, persisted
At last, we are here.
