Recommend Weekly Challenge/Contest Ideas for Steemit.Chat Users and WIN SBD!

in #steemit7 years ago

Steemit.Chat is a busy place with thousands of Steemit users using it everyday. For the longest time I've been thinking of running a contest for users of Steemit's preferred communication platform. But, I've been lacking ideas for running the contest. Perhaps you can help me with it?

I'm looking for some interesting ideas that can be executed on Steemit.com as well as on a channel in Steemit.Chat for users of this platform.

We can run it in a new contest specific channel or in the busy General channel. Any user that is not blacklisted by @cheetah on Steemit.com is welcome to participate.

I plan on taking this contest live from the 9th of October. Entries will be accepted until this post pays out.

  1. Please post all your suggestions in a single comment.
  2. Multiple ideas are welcome, more the merrier.
  3. Recommend a contest hashtag.
  4. It needs to be executable every week.
  5. Suggest any specific rules & parameters along with your idea.
  6. It can be something simple and fun.
  7. I need be able to run these contests on Steemit.Chat as well as Steemit.com but they need to be related to the chat platform in some way.
    a. Example 1: We could run a contest where you can nominate your favorite channel on Steemit.Chat—perhaps the channel owner could win this.
    b. Example 2: In General channel at a specific time we could run a random number game between any two digits and I could use a random number generator to decide the winner.
  8. If it gets popular and creates greater engagement I will consider running it more regularly.

The best idea will get all the SBDs from this post.


@steemfest is just a month away. I will run a 2nd contest in this week for the 2nd free ticket to SteemFest 2017. Meanwhile please visit the official ticket website for ticket purchases.

Awesome post @firepower
I've been waiting for a contest from you for a long time, and I'm going to follow the contest later.
My suggestion for the contest later, what about the contest about the theme of education?
This theme does not have to be what we learn in school, but about what we like and what we usually do and then we share it with the steemians.
For example like a post in my blog, I share about my work on campus, and in it there is a new learning that I can share with the steemians.
At the beginning of the title I gave the title "What Do You Learn Today?". This means that every day we do there must be learning in it 👍.
That's the advice I can give for this contest, hopefully can be considered

Good idea..!!
Yes, everyday we do learn something new...

Thanks @geetharao
I happy to know you like my idea

I like this idea and its defetinally something I would like to do :D

thanks for sharing

My contest ideas:
1)#abbreviations
You make a steemit post with the abbreviation for the day, like
IMYOSLY
I met you on steemit last year
The abbreviations can range from 5-10 letters, you may give a hint like, related to HIMYM

  • The contestants need to post their guesses in steemit chat channel.
  • A contestant gets only 2 (or 3) guesses.
  • All guesses must be posted together to make tracking easier.
  • If multiple people guess correctly, the first person to guess it right wins.
  • If no one gets it right, the person with closest guess wins.

2)#WhatWouldYou
You make a steemit contest post for the question, like:
What would you do to convince Tom Cruise to star in the next MI movie?
What would you use SMTs for?
What pickup line would you use on Jennifer Aniston?
What would you do when aliens arrive?
... the possibilities are endless.

  • Contestants post their single best innovative entry into Steemit chat.
  • There could be a word limit (50 words) and time limit (within 5 hours).
  • The best entry wins - either by judging, or community voting.

HAHA! Nice meme

  1. i would like to suggest game like you have to give some words and we have to make one post according to it or any comment with that all words include and put exact photo of it. like example words are love family and restaurant so we have to make post with our beloved or with family photo upload in that contest.

  2. pet is common with all and we can also say selfie with pet in where we have to take selfie with pet and all participate have to take selfies with pet and have to upload in post.

  3. traditional art as all around the world people have different traditions and they have to upload tradition which represent their country and through it we get to see different they of traditional work from all around the world.

  4. every week new them like one week competition of beach photography then next week temple then next week old structure then next week mountain or sport or anything which you want to like.

this till i have idea and we can use hastag # firecontest

#steemlottery

Each contestant buys a ticket and receives a number via chat. Each contestant limited to 3 tickets. Simple.

#steembingo

Each contestant can choose their numbers (put in the memo on payment) - pick 7 numbers between 1 and 500.
This might be a bit long in the tooth though, having to call all the numbers etc.

Well this one is going to be the most fascinating contest on this platform.
For this i will try to give the best of my ideas for implement and definitely makes sense and looks different.
From now i am waiting for the competition.
Lovely post
Keep posting

#Contest Suggestions :

  1. There should be some referral bonus to the existing users for "inviting friends to steemit" like .25 steem per friend.
  2. There should be reward of 1 steem if someone add display picture as selfie with handwritten poster "Steemit" written on it.
  3. Some cool steemit t-shirt should be rewarded to the mailing address of people who login consistently.
  4. Steemit wallet should also be linked with online store for shopping.
  5. There is some column for "steemit birthday", where people/users will share their birthday experience and will get special attention with the community like "introduceyourself".

Another idea would be the best/most eyecatching headline/post title.

What was it and why did it grab your attention?

What value did the post have?
