20260927 CWH x Ladies of Hive Contest Winner - Week 307.png

## A Hardy Congratulations to Merit Ahama, the LoH Judge of Week 307! 👩🏽‍⚖️ Returning to the bench, we welcome @merit.ahama back to judge the Ladies of Hive contest. Merit is a Nigerian storyteller, scriptwriter, and photographer. She's a Dolphin 🐬 who has been on Hive for five and a half years, and has demonstrated leadership right from the start. I've met her many times while attending #PYPT and know her for her splendidly expressed writing and personality. I've heard her say she has a "loud mind" but I've also heard admit to being a quiet person in real life. Merit contributes content often and remains a highly engaged and supportive user who frequently curates others and guides newer accounts. Her blog is a mix of creative writing, entertainment, and personal reflections. I enjoy her film reviews, ranging from comedies like Pitch Perfect 2 to dramas like Gifted Hands. Here, you can read her newest review for Turning Red. https://peakd.com/@merit.ahama/growing-up-is-a-beast-turning-red-review-muq4js2g She contributes broadly across the blockchain but is best known for her leadership and moderation roles in several major communities. For example, Hive Learners is where she helps run weekly engagement prompts and curates posts to help onboard and retain users. With Ladies of Hive, she is a moderator and active participant who frequently enters the weekly contests, shares tips, and distributes LOH tokens to other users on the platform. With Comedy Open Mic, she's been a mod and regular curator, posting her own humorous content while reviewing and supporting other comedians. Wicked sense of humour! Let's thank her for her dedication this week by leaving a comment, engaging with her posts and giving her a follow @merit.ahama! 💖 Congratulations, Merit, on judging an amazing week of the LoH Contest! 🥂🍾 ___ ___ ## Ladies of Hive, 6 Years Strong! They say that a fisherman can see another fisherman from afar. Being a founder is no light-weight task, and sticking with it for the long haul can be tiresome even when things are rolling right along. Since joining Hive, CWH founder @alessandrawhite has been a big fan of the work of @thekittygirl and @silversaver888. She noticed that although the two live a continent apart, these two women held firm to a strong value, namely, that good content creation, particularly by the women of Hive, should be intentionally supported. She was over the moon to learn that together that had co-founded a community called the Ladies of Hive. Six years later Alessandra subbed in as guest judge for the Ladies of Hive Community Contest no. 275. Getting a look under the hood of the weekly writing contest gave her the inspiration to do something special to support the community and authors who publish there. ___ ___

We are Creative Work Hour (CWH)

CWH is Hive's DAILY online studio that's dedicated to bringing your ideas to life. We provide a gentle welcoming environment where you can quietly work alongside others to distill your intention into productivity in a space expressly designed for cognitive flow. ___ ___ ## CWH Invests in Writers Weekly To honor the efforts of @ladiesofhive and to celebrate more than 300 amazing weeks of community posts, Alessandra, @bitterirony, and the crew of Creative Work Hour signed on to sponsor each week's Ladies of Hive Contest, beginning with Week 300, 9 August, 2026. If you're not so familiar with the workings of the contest, each week's guest judge provides one or two prompts. Authors can enter by writing to one, the other, or both in their contest entry post. Over the course of the week, the guest judge curates the posts. At the end of the contest week, the judge chooses one First Place post, one Second Place post, and three Third Place posts. The community chooses the Lady of the Week. ___ ## CWH Invests in HIVE Daily Creative Work Hour sponsors the weekly Ladies of Hive Contest with prizes the we fund in HIVE that’s accumulated based on the number of active Hivians who join us each day. Together, we do the work of writing content, fine tuning post packaging, or taking care of other creative work that needs doing. It works a little like matching donations, but instead of contributing HIVE directly, HIVE is raised *in kind* triggered by creatives attending our sessions. Then, @creativeworkhour stakes the amount of HIVE every day based on the number of Hivians that joined the crew that day. #### But That’s Not All! We're kicking in additional contributions — not just in daily Hive Power Ups to support the chain, but also by investing in the accounts of the LoH contest winners with awards of Hive Stake-Based Income (HSBI). At Creative Work Hour we believe creative thought matters and that those who write to a gold standard should enjoy ongoing rewards that @josephsavage so innovatively designed into the programme. So let's get to it. Let’s celebrate the winning authors! 👏🏼 👏 👏🏽 👏🏾 👏🏿|

What fuels these efforts is the same stuff that keeps Creative Work Hour running 365 days a year, across 100 events per month. It's the sense of belonging to a group made up of others who are also doing their best to give creative living a go, too. To attend, hop 🐇 on over to our Discord at 🎉 Creative Work Hour Discord Alessandra will meet you there, welcome you in, and set you up meeting ID and passcode for our small batch Hive Co-Working Studio hosted on Zoom. Camera shy? No worries, cameras are totally optional. 😘 ___ ___ *Graphic design by CWH founder @alessandrawhite from a paper napkin sketch transferred to & developed in Figma.
