$45 SBD Steemit Writing Contest. Writers needed. The more writers the bigger the prize fund!

[bycoleman]

Today we are kicking off our first (of perhaps many) writing contest!

The contest has few constraints, but it must be something about you or someone you know personally. It should not be fictional, but of course you may alter names and places as you see fit.

The motive is to create a moving, passionate, emotional article. The winning article must move the judges to tears, laughter, suspense or awe. Please do not write sob stories to solicit donations, write an article that tells the story of life. The primary subject matter is open and fully up to you to choose, just follow the other guidelines.**

All work must be new and original content and cannot have been posted prior on Steemit or elsewhere!

All articles need to be written in English only please.

Submissions should be at least 250 words and no more than 2500 words. Longer articles will be accepted; however, you may lose some of the interest of the judges if you have not created a VERY captivating story.

The payout will be as follows for this first contest.

$25 SBD to the 1st place winner.
$10 SBD to the 2nd and 3rd place winners.

Two honorable mentions will be given.

The more writers the more winners!

For every 10 entries starting at 30 entries, we will add another winners' slot for $5 SBD.
30 entries = 4th place winning slot for $5 SBD
40 entries = 5th place winning slot for $5 SBD
You get the picture. There is a lot of opportunity to win!

If more than 99 entries, 1st, 2nd and 3rd place payouts will be doubled to $50 SBD and $20 SBD!

The winning article will need to be moving, well articulated, decent grammar and acceptable spelling. An article that is grammatically poor is likely to distract from the story as does one not checked for spelling errors. Considerations are required to a degree, especially for those who do not have English as their primary language. This will be up to the judges.

The contest will begin as soon as this post is submitted and end exactly 7 days later.

Again, All work must be new and original content and cannot have been posted prior on Steemit or elsewhere!

Once the actual contest begins, submissions will be accepted for a period of seven days. Articles submitted after the close of this post cannot be accepted into the contest.

How to submit.

Simply write your story, then post it on Steemit as you normally would, then provide a link to your post in the comments section below using the hashtag #bycolemancontest followed by a link to your post. Articles must be submitted to this post to be eligible. The hashtag is helpful but not required.

Please do not submit more than one link or more than one article.

All articles need to be written in English only please.

There are seven judges plus a tiebreaker (@bycoleman)

In the order they appear in the remarks section, here are the #bycolemanjudge judges:

@nihalmaz
@nosmas
@naufil
@conradt
@renalexis
@gems.and.cookies
@doughtaker

Each story submitted will be reviewed by at least 3 judges. They will not discuss their opinions with any other judge until the final tally is posted here.

Your submission will be judged based on:

Does the story move the judge to tears, laughter, suspense or awe, etc.?

Remember the motive is to create a moving, passionate and emotional article.
The judges may also look at any of the following to help them make their decisions; however this is at the sole discretion of the judge to apply any or all of the standards listed below and to what degree.

Final requests.

• Please upvote this post to help pay for the contest.
• Please follow me so you can receive updates on this contest.
• Resteeming is not required, but it will certainly help spread the word, remember the more players the larger the prize fund.

OK, that's it. Get writing and send in your links, let's get some great quality posted to show off the amazing talent here on Steemit!

I will be posting remarks later on the "fine print" for both contestants as well as judges. Please keep an eye out for any announcements and clarifications.

****************** UPDATE 02/25/18 8:30 CT (USA) ******************

At this time, it does look like we have more then 99 entries, so the prize fund for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will be doubled -- see the details above. Also, there are now more funds available for the judges!

Remember you can only submit one story and it must be submitted before the contest is closed Monday at exactly 2018-02-26 18:14 (UTC)

Thank you all for helping make this first contests such a grand event!

****************** UPDATE 2/26/18 12:07 CT (USA) ********************

The contest will be closing in a few short minutes. Good luck to all!

Please see this link for results as they are know.

A few helpful tips from Judge #3 to everyone submitting their articles:

1. Remember, longer is not always better!
2. It's always best to take five minutes after you're done writing to read what you have written, fixing one grammatical error can sometimes do wonders for your score! :)
3. Your story means the world to us so make sure to make it about you since only then will it have the power to move the judges.
4. Lastly, try to think outside the box, sometimes your own creativity can surprise you! :)

Best of luck everyone!! Hope this turns out to be a great contest!

[orangelife]

these tips are well noted. thank you!

[naufil]

No problem at all, best of luck! :)

[bycoleman]

In the interest of total transparency and for all those that are interested. Here is the total costs to promote the contest.

Even though there was more than 740 up votes, the majority of the Steemians that upvoted had little or no voting power, so the payout was less than the cost to promote the contest, resulting in a direct loss of 14.61 SBD

This of course does not include the cost of the prize fund. Which will add significantly to the cost to fund this contest.

Will we do it again? -- Absolutely if the judges are able :) The prize fund may not be so liberal, but we will do our best.

Stay tuned as we continue to evaluate all the submissions!

Many blessings and good luck to all!

[moneyinfant]

@moneyinfant has added your contest to the list Steemit Writing Contests: Issue #25. 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!

[bycoleman]

This is really awesome. Very pleased to have been included.

You have a great program going. Keep it up please.

[moneyinfant]

I'm happy to have included your contest.

I'll definitely be keeping the program going, it seems to be making many people quite happy, and that's what I was aiming for, so it makes me happy as well.

[bycoleman]

Nothing wrong with a little happiness these days!

Hi thanks for joining and promoting this contest,I have read and evaluated your entry

[conradt]

Hi there i have read evaluated your story 😃

[creepyturtle]

Hello @bycoleman!
I have a question: Must the subject of the story be a person-person or can it be something else (like an animal or a personified object)?

It's a nice contest, anyway, thank you for sharing

[bycoleman]

Thanks for the great question.

Non fiction, life story.

A moving story about an animal is fine.

2nd part.

I used the word "should" in lieu "cannot", therefor the article will probably not be disallowed.

It should not be fictional, but of course you may alter names and places as you see fit.

Again, personified is probably fine, just make it move the judges.

With that said, sticking closely to the guidelines will probably be in your net favor.

[creepyturtle]

Ok, I will submit my entry then. And if it doesn't meet the criteria it will be ok anyway. I enjoyed writing it , but I'm not native speaker, so it's just for fun.
Anyways, I was looking for a story to read yesterday and I couldn't find it, so I'm very happy I found your contest because I have a lot to read now :)

[creepyturtle]

So this is my entry:
https://steemit.com/bycolemancontest/@creepyturtle/a-gloomy-sunny-day-april-1994

I wrote it in one go and then I realized I misred the rules and that probably I'm a bit out topic.
But I wrote it specifically for this contest, so I decided to submit it anyway.
I hope you enjoy it :)

[markkennard]

Thanks very much @doughtaker it’s was quite an emotional experience writing this. Not because the quake scared the life out of me because it didn’t. I actually found it quite exciting. The emotional bit was thinking back on how everyone acted as one big family and laid their lives on the line to enter unsafe buildings to rescue strangers. Christchurch lost a lot that day but one thing they gained was a sense of community spirit

As I look at your guidelines and standards, strikes me that these are the same every writer strives for, whenever we write. Unfortunately, easy to fall short of the mark. I think I'll try for this one, and see what happens.

[bycoleman]

Absolutely worth a try. It cost nothing to join and your article is yours to keep and of course it may be a hit on its own!

[hetty-rowan]

Nice contest ... I'm gonna think about it and try to write a good article later this week.

Now when I know who is my judge, this sin thought of bribing my judge keeps disturbing me.
I Hoped it would leave my mind, if I say it openly here, but to tell the truth, it still haven't moved anywhere yet.
