The OFFICIAL, ORIGINAL starting date for the STEEMIT'S GOT TALENT has come!
Very excited to announce this, as it is something I have been working on for a while now, but something I have thought about since I began my Steemit journey in December! So come join us here at S.G.T.! Any TALENT is A TALENT! Below I have stated the official ruleset set forth! Lets rock and roll! <3
OFFICIAL RULE SET! (Submission, Judging, Payouts)
Submission Rules:
- Craft a new post w/ the talent video link, Titling it "Steemits Got Talent Entry # (whatever week you are competing in)" (allowing you to curate a payout from your personal post)
- Comment upon the S.G.T weekly post with a link to your video (allowing you to curate rewards on the comment as well)
- FIRST TAG MUST BE SGT (lowercase of course)
- 2 ENTRIES PER PERSON! One entry may be a previously used video (posted to steemit already). The old entry used, must still be recreated to the above submission rules. The other must be made!
- The contest entries will be accepted from Monday-Sunday, although the faster the entry comes in (after Monday) the better, so your entry has more time to accumulate upvotes!
Judging Process
- I am keeping it fairly basic when it comes to judging! The entry with the MOST upvotes on the S.G.T weekly post WINS! (will be counted the 7th day, Monday and payouts will be sent out by Tuesday!)
- Which is why it is vital to get your entry in early in the week, allowing for more time to network and promote your entry! (I will be resteeming entries as well.)
- There will be a judging panel which will respond to each entry, ALTHOUGH THIS DOES NOT COUNT TO DECIDE THE WINNER, it is simply for viewing pleasure!
The question you have all been waiting for, the PAYOUT SCHEDULE! First off, I would like to say this will be a true gamechanger that brings everyone who enters up on the platform.
- % of the S.G.T weekly posts will be put right back into the contest, to improve awards.
- The contest will start with 1st 2nd 3rd place prizes and grow to 4th and 5th, even more (to spread out payouts, and give more people a chance to earn a reward payout.) I believe paying out smaller rewards to more people in the future will help this contest standout as not a personal money maker, but a place where we all can improve our talents and make some payout as well.
PAYOUT SCHEDULE (To start, updates regarding 4th and 5th etc place rewards will be released prior to that weeks contest)
- First Place- 30 SBD
- Second Place- 20 SBD
- Third Place- 10 SBD
Steemit is the Key... 
and Love is the driver!
Discord: bambam808#0272 and of course Steemit.chat!
I would love to team up with some of YOU and make this one of a kind contests take off for the benefit of all of us, the Steemit community as a whole! As I have always said, FOR THE STEEMIANS, BY THE STEEMIANS! A huge shoutout to my current sponsors, without you all this contest would not have come to fruition! I am glad to have a solid foundation, as that is the building blocks to anything in life, IF THE FOUNDATION is poor, the building itself (this contest) would be weak. STRONG FOUNDATION + STRONG IDEAS + STRONG COMMUNITY = POTION FOR SUCCESS FOR ALL OF THE STEEMIANS! With Love,
Current Sponsors (updated):
I look forward to any advice and comments! Thank you all!

Here is my first entry which is a post I already made. Just want to try and get in atlas one before the deadline to help promote and support the contest!
Have you ever heard of the Didgeridoo?? Well its an ancient wind instrument and the pros use a technique called circle breathing. Its where you breath in through your nose will simultaneously blowing air out your mouth to keep a continuous sound!
I give you Didgeridoo in a tree!

Thanks for the entry, although unless you change the title, it will not count. VIEW SUBMISSION RULES ABOVE. Although its an old post, must be recreated as a new STEEMITS GOT TALENT POST. Cant just completely copy and paste.
Ok so in order to count it still has to be a post to be an entry even if its an OLD video. I was thinking that one of the entries could just be an old post. I understand now and can fairly easily make a post to submit if I just use an old video.
Thanks for the reply.
anytime- and thank you! It can be an old video, just a new post. Once you do, please is possible delete your old entry! THank you again! and good luck!
Ok so here is my First Entry that I believe meets all guidlines of sgt tag, link to this post, proper title and posting it here in the comments!
This is a really cool event hope it goes well and thats why I am entering to help promote it and bring in more attention!
SteemON!

Interesting entry! Good luck in the contest. Make sure to title the post STEEMITS GOT TALENT, as its still in its early stages, and S.G.T may not be recognized. Thanks

This post received a 3.1% upvote from @randowhale thanks to @bambam808! For more information, click here!
Fabulous idea for everyone to share their talent on Steemit.
Upvoted Resteemed Following. Simply briliant
Thank you for the love! make sure to look at the entries and give your vote!
Great idea! really :)
Thanks! We appreciate the support! Make sure to cast your vote for this weeks winners!
The person who has the most followers wins because they get the most upvotes.
Well, it does not really work that way. Not all followers upvote your posts. If that was the case, you'd become a millionaire here by simply following hundreds of accounts in the hope that they would follow you back (and by your logic, ending up upvoting all your posts).
I'd suggest you give it a shot and see how it goes. If your entry is good, I'd like to upvote you even though I'm not following you at the moment :)
love the explanation, like @rjsudeep has pointed out, we here at SGT talent to make competitions as fair as possible, which is why we are counting vote#'s instead of vote worth. Factoring each Steemian vote as a number, rather than a dollar amount to avoid having one person win with whale vote.
That's about as fair and transparent as one can get! Good going @bambam808. I hope all of @truconspiracy's doubts have been cleared! :)
I will see if I can come up with something.
Awesome @truconspiracy, that's the spirit :) Will definitely upvote your entry :)
Interesting enough... Although i have a question, if the winner is the most voted, are you still allowing upvotes by trails?... a single upvote by a trail can bring a post hundreds of upvotes, but it doesnt mean it really got this many votes...
We have backup plans were that to occur. :) It was something we had thought about early on when deciding how to handle the judging process.
Cool... I will try something for next week :D
Sounds great! week two begins tomorrow so stay tuned! :D we look forward to your entry!
