CONTEST: My 2018 - This is my Hobby | 100 SBD in Prizes!

avatar
(Edited)

My 2018 - A @blocktrades sponsored contest.

But Nomad don´t be silly, I blog everyday about my hobbies and passions, to join this contest is like repeating my blog posts, there is nothing different, I can just post the same I´ve been posting the past 2 months...


This contest is not about you posting your drawings or you latest travel adventure, this contest has nothing to do with the way you take care of your garden or how you cooked that meal you ate last saturday, the post you will create to join this contest will not be about your latest science fiction story or analysis of your favorite coin...

This contest is about your passion, why you have it and what drives it

No no, I don´t want you to post examples of your hobby, I wan´t you to tell me about your hobby.

  • Why do you fell passion about your hobby?
  • How did you picked this hobby? Or better yet, how did this hobby picked you?
  • How long have you been doing it...? Are you learning more and more every day?
  • What is is that you love about this hobby? Do you like it because you are good at it? Do you love it because it takes away the stress? Do you enjoy it because it is challenging?
  • When do you practice it? Is it part of your daily life or do you have to go out of your routine to be able to do it?
  • Is it something you share with someone else or is this hobby YOUR thing and you do it by yourself?
  • What is going on in your mind when you do it?
  • Is your hobby a priority? Does practicing takes away time with your family or partner? Do you have it high on your priority list or is it not that important compared to family and friends?
  • Is your hobby expensive? Do you spend a lot of money when you practice it? What sacrifices you make to be able to practice your hobby?
  • Are you an amateur? An adept? An expert? What makes the differences between them? Does it depend only on skills or do you also need tools or equipment to become better?
  • Are you lucky enought that, is your hobby part of your job?
  • If you would have to explain your hobby to an alien, how would you do it?

These are just examples of how to create your post, you don´t have to talk about all of them and you can add other things you want, those are just a few guidelines in case you don´t know how to make your post!

If you want to add pictures that´s awesome! It´s even better!

Rules for the contest! Yes... there are rules :(

1.- Your post must have the title My 2018 - This is my Hobby: Here goes your hobby

Example: My 2018 - This is my Hobby: Hunting Sharks in the Pacific Ocean.

2.- The post must have at least 1,000 words. This is a post about your hobby! Give it some love and make an effort to make a long and big post!
3.- You have to use the tag "My2018" and "Thisismyhobby" otherwise I won´t be able to check out your post :(
4.- Please do NOT use the tag "blocktrades" or "sndbox".
5.- Obviously, no Plagiarism, I only want original content!
6.- Be creative, have fun!!
7.- You don´t have to upvote this post to join, but I´m askig you to Resteem it so more people can join the contest. If more people join, there is a big chance I pitch in more SBD to the prize pool.

Note: If your post does not fulfill this small list of rules I can´t consider it to win :(

Deadline to submit your entry

You have from now until next Monday, March the 26th at 11:59 pm PST (Pacific time) to make your post about this, any post published later that that won´t be considered for the contest.

Special Thanks

Remember, making this contest and giving this prizes is only possible due to the delegation I got from @blocktrades. Don´t forget to vote for them as witness here to show them your support!

Thank you for such an opportunity. I know there's a price to be won, but it's way beyond winning the price.

I am so glad to participate in this contest. This will be my first ever writing contest on Steemit and I hope to win because I'm giving it my all.

Thank you once again for this unique opportunity

Quick question from a relative newbie on Steemit, do we use lower case for the tags? In the rules you said My2018" and "Thisismyhobby, but Steemit doesn't allow upper case letters. Looking forward to submitting my entry soon.

hey dude, not to be rude
but can I take part
just start
even if my post will be about my business?
I put all my passion there, no less!


Today I bring you a poem with a greeting from my second account @tatjana.weber. I am on a personal quest to write 1000 poems and ask 1000 steemians for 1 SBD. This is my fundraiser to get my own business going. I started to work as a coach and I want to make coach people with disabilities at a more reasonable price. As you might know I have celebral palsy myself and I really want to show the world and also myself that I can still make it!
Life has taught me a lot, especially in the last couple of years and I want to use all I have to help others reach their full potenzial. I just need a little to really get startet. So I am fundraising. All that send me SBD will get there own personal poem. Are you on bord? Do you want your own poem?

Dang I just did a post the other day about my photography journey that would have been suitable perhaps as an entry for this contest so my timing was terrible but if I can find the time to come up with a post for this contest that isn’t just the same again as that post I will do an entry

Thanks for hosting such a cool contest

Ps Ré your comment on another persons entry for the sandbox quest and am I entering I didn’t want to hijack her post with a response and a link to my post but I hope it’s ok to do it here

This post covers part one of the quest https://steemit.com/goldenhourphotography/@tattoodjay/returning-home-at-the-end-of-a-working-day but also explains that due to a few reasons I just won’t be able to find the time or get out to get new photos for the quest so as much ch as I would love to try out for the sandbox I just cannot at this stage.
With an office move on Friday and borderline pneumonia at present time is limited and I cannot risk going out in the cold here for photoshoots

That said I did that post to spread the word of the quest as well as told a few photog friends

Oh wow what an excellent idea! This is so me, I love it, am going to start writing my entry now.
Funnily enough, I actually have a competition wanting people to 'show their thing' but it's the opposite to yours and is about making content. Mine doesn't have any backing, so It's just finding it's feet, and I hope it's something I can grow and build apon so it really is valuble to the steem community.
I'm so glad to see other people are doing similar things but with more support, it's a great idea to help grow the steem creative community! Thanks for the opportunity, will be posting my entry soon.

@moneyinfant has added your contest to the list Steemit Writing Contests: Issue #55. 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!

I found this very challenging, but I have finally put my blog post up. It was hard to pick what my hobby would be as I have so many, but once I finally started writing it became clear to me.

This was as much an exercise in self awareness as it was an entrance into a contest. Thank you for inspiring me to do some soul searching.

¡Hola! Esta es mi entrada, el titulo del link es diferente porque pensaba preparar otra entrada en inglés, luego cambié de opinión y lo edité.
Mil gracias por este concurso tan inspirador, me divertí mucho y recordé las razones por las que me enamoré de mi hobby, tambien pude regalarle frases bonitas a las personas bonitas que me comentaron.

There is a little problem: I would love to take part in the contest. I've written a post that is albost 3000 words long (!) (still feel like I should write more), but your post is already a few hours after payout and I can't resteem it anymore :(( I have just posted my entry and came back here to read the rules to check if I've done everything right. Is there any way I can resteem the post when its after payout? Here is my entry: https://steemit.com/my2018/@anna.urbanska/my-2018-this-is-my-hobby-starving-on-a-desert-island-in-fiji-survivor

I feel very sad and disappointed because I spent 2 days trying to upload an article about me in the contest but in Venezuela they take our light off six hours a day. I really do not know whether to cry or scream or quit.

But I was taught to fight , so I tell everyone who is participating many successes, unfortunately I can only post this comment, the internet falls and the light goes out, I do not want my pc to burn: C my sincere wishes karla chacon
