WOW!
When I set out to create "Where in the World is Goldmoney Challenge Part I," to be completely honest, I had no idea whether it would work or not. https://steemit.com/travel/@goldmatters/up-to-1000-sbd-in-rewards-giveaway-where-in-the-world-is-goldmoney-challenge-part-i
I have never created a challenge on Steemit before, or anywhere for that matter, but I had a vision. I imagined people from all over the world, from different cultures, different languages, different geographical and sociological areas doing something in common.
Steemit gave me the perfect platform to reach a large and diverse audience. To see all posts use #goldmoneywashere or #whereintheworldisgoldmoney
We had posts from: USA, Scotland, Australia, UK, India, Japan, Philippines, Netherlands, Dubai, and Canada!!!
Everyone in the world knows what gold is. Eventually everyone WILL know what Goldmoney is. This challenge was just one step into spreading that awareness.
Steemians around the world stepped up to participate in this challenge. Some, like @dreamingirwin took this challenge to heart in a way that was both inspiring and touching.
I learned so much this week and was beyond impressed by the power of this community.
Without further ado, here are the pictures from the challenge!!
The very first submission was from @geekgirl:
The Space Needle. Seattle Washington. USA
#Goldalwayswins and sometimes so does being first! @geekgirl got a bonus for being the first entry that followed the rules of the challenge:

We then had the first of not one , not two, but THREE epic entries by @dreamingirwin. In fact he made such an amazing effort, I decided to bonus him with gas STEEM:
Here is a picture from his first post:
Rhode Island State House in Providence, RI USA
This building was featured in a couple movies!

Amazing job!!
Next we had @munchell . Some very professional looking photos by this Steemian.
Clyde Arc Bridge. Glasgow, Scotland
Read his post here: https://steemit.com/goldmoneywashere/@munchell/goldmoney-challenge-bonus-round
These pictures were professional level, and poor @munchell gave up his lunch break to take them!
@travelgirl submitted two very cool photos from famous locations! They are so good, im including both:
Sydney Harbor Bridge. Sydney, Australia
And
Sydney Opera House. Sydney, Australia
Fantastic work @travelgirl ! You said you would take these, and you did it! Reliable, dependable, unfailing... just like gold!
We had a creative post by @lukaskonecny
Mt. St. Helens. Washington State USA
Putting the sign on a postcard was brilliant! I should have thought of that:)

Next, the submission with my absolute favorite title! @hackerwhacker named his post "Goldmatters - rain or shine." I love this because this is exactly how I feel. I will show the world Goldmoney no matter what the conditions!

Love this! The Wall Street Charging Bull is part of the Goldmoney T shirt tour as I have been there also :)
Here is the NYSE. The ticker for Goldmoney stock here in the US is XAUMF. XAU in Canada. (Not investment advice!) Here is the Goldmoney Investor Relations page: https://www.goldmoney.com/corporate/investor-relations

This next one is another example of the creativity of Steemians, by @eyeofthestorm . Gold is also an eye of the storm. Protects and preserves your wealth like none other :)
This photo is for the Gold Bears. Though gold should never be thought of as an investment or a speculation, but as money!! :)

So creative, great job @eyeofthestorm

One of my 10 primary locations for this contest was delivered on in this post at the TAJ MAHAL! By @mady27
Fantastic!!! In India, gold is commonly used as a store of generational wealth, transfered down by families through gold jewelry. Read how Goldmoney can allow you to do the same through Mene with artist Diana Picasso. Yes THAT Picasso! https://www.goldmoney.com/corporate/news/goldmoney-announces-investment-in-mene-inc

Thanks so much goldmatters! Congratulations also to all fellow participants! This was a lot of fun and for a great cause---getting the word out about Goldmoney!
I should mention that although the bear did not accept a picnic basket in exchange for his endorsement, he will be happy to accept a deposit into his Goldmoney account.
Lol! I love that bear! He has quite a personality :) thanks for being involved with this you were great
You have literally brought everyone together with these fantastic entry's !! @goldmatters
Thank you :) it was a community effort. I would love to see more of this!
Thanks for a cool challenge. It was a ton of fun! You got alot of support and spread the message very well I'd say 👍😎 made my day today too..
Thanks man for participating :) was an awesome post:)
nice!! not sure what it means, but very interested in your ideas and how you were able to make so many people want to write goldmoney and date it :) lol I'm very curious what the intention is... Following!
Thanks for reading :) The intention is to spread awareness of Goldmoney :) For example, I can now tell you that Goldmoney is a financial technology company that allows anyone to own gold in small or large amounts. Owning gold helps preserve your savings over long periods of time:) thanks again for your interest :)
I really agree with what you write :
I have never created a challenge on Steemit before, or anywhere for that matter, but I had a vision. I imagined people from all over the world, from different cultures, different languages, different geographical and sociological areas doing something in common.

Thank you for reading :)
Welcome brother.. i wait your artikel againt ..
Thank you
Welcome brother .. i wait The next articel
thanks for much man!, It was a very fun contest to watch.
Thank you so much for being a part of it :)
You rock! !!!!! Thank you so much. You've officially made my 42nd day on Steemit a day I'll write in my calendar. Lol. It's funny to think back on being hesitant to join the contest. Yet every aligned so perfectly. Your contest my aunt visiting. Wow. I just couldn't understand how people weren't flooding your contest. I kept checking it to see if anyone posted. So cool. So much fun. Such a blessing. God bless you, your family, your friends, and your business.
Great job @dreamingirwin!
Thank you. It so funny cause up to this contest the most I've made was four bucks. Feels like I won the lottery. Lol
Congratulations on your first prize, @dreamingirwin! Well done!
Thank you :-) I've been on Steem for a little under two months and and in that time frame I have not seen a contest that offered what @goldmatters was offering. So I decided even if I only got a small bonus or a small percentage of the prize it was worth participating. So I did everything I could hoping to qualify.
You deserve it! You were AWESOME!!!!!!! Keep your eyes open. Im going to take a bit of a break and be back with a new challenge at some point. WINNER!!! :)
Gold money here bitcoin thanks for shairing @fkofficials
Thanks for reading !
How cool was this challenge! Thanks for hosting it and for the SBD too. I guess I will have to go and dig a little to find what the Goldmoney is about :) You might want to clarify this in all posts you will make during the part II of the challenge. You have included only a link for registration and to be honest, it did not attract me to click on it at all. Good luck with promoting and thanks again!
Thanks for reading! I did try to lnclude a number of facts about Goldmoney within the post but I would be glad to provide more in part II. Any areas specifically you would reccomend focusing on?
I am not sure if you have included it somewhere (as I have not seen something similar), but it would be extremely helpful to write a standalone explanatory post about Goldmoney and refer to it as many times as possible. To make sure that you will catch the reader eye :)
Great suggestion! I have many such posts in the past but yours is a great reminder that it has been awhile and my next comprehensive post should go through these basics again. Thank you very much for your feedback:)
You are most welcome :)
Congratulations @goldmatters!
Your post was mentioned in the hit parade in the following category:
Yay!
Gold Money here. Gold Money there. Gold Money everywhere! :]]]
Old Macdonald had Goldmoney.......

@goldmatters thank you so much. I love what you are doing promoting goldmoney. I am going to continue to support your efforts. Off to St Andrews next week so I will try and get a couple of piccies.

Cool. I was out of the country and not paying attention to steemit so missed this. However, I have a shirt just like yours and I happened to wear it (though was an undershirt) on this long day of travel. Drove from Anshan China to Shenyang airport, flew to Guangzhou, flew to LAX. So, that's where Goldmoney was on August 4, 2017.
I love goldmoney t shirt pics! Let me see! There will be more challenges in the future :)
Thank you so much for the contest and for all of the time it obviously took to sort it all out and put together this great post! Congratulations to all of the winners and all of the great submissions! Very fun to see all of the creativity and fantastic photos! Thanks again @goldmatters!
Thank YOU for being involved . I thoroughly enjoyed your post:):)
Great post, I will have to read up (google) this goldmoney thing. I own physical gold and silver but has not been convenient. I used to be a small local buyer of scrap here in Denver Colorado.
https://www.goldmoney.com/w/goldmatters Check it out! The whole reason I did this is to introduce Goldmoney to new people :)
Just visited your website, I think I'm starting to understand this, the video wouldn't play but I'm gonna look at it on YouTube.
Excellent!

Still don't know if you visiting Steemfest in Lisbon? What is your relation with goldmoney? I would love to meet you if you are going. If not I would like to know if I can have some support from goldmoney. Maybe I can wear a shirt with goldmoney and make some post in combination with goldmoney. I was learned that you always have No and i you ask you can get a Yes. So that's why i asked..
I will not make it to Steemfest unfortunately. You can send me your info through steemit chat and I will see if I can get the t shirt (what is your size also), thank you for offering your support! As mentioned in my profile I am a consultant for Goldmoney :)
