Since there is 50 SBD on the line, I figured that I should tip you off!
A while back, I chose to throw some SBD around and fund some new contests on steemit. My goal was to fund four contests with 200 SBD total, but in the end I funded a few more too. One of the ones that I chose to fund was a contest idea created by @improv. For those of you who do not already know, @improv is an improviser and he shows off his comic genius in a lot of the comments that he leaves. 50 SBD is still in the current prize pool for this contest.
The basic contest idea was to do a live talent show in a certain city. People would share off their skills (whatever they are) and each one would be recorded. Basically, it would be like a steemit meetup combined with a talent show. For those who could not make it in person, they could record their skills at home. All video entries would then be posted as replies on the official contest post. This way everyone can enter.
WHY A PROMO POST PAPA?
Recently, @improv got a hold of me on chat and asked the following question:
Do you have any ideas on how to get more contest entries in the open mic?
Obviously, options are limited, but I did come up with one. What if I did a promo post, provided an example video, and then donated the liquid SBD/STEEM payout to the next round?
We thought that it sounded like a good idea, so here I am. It is also worth pointing out that the goal was to have this contest "travel" to different cities, so if you would like to be an upcoming organizer for this contest and have a good venue in your area where some local steemians could meet up for some fun and show off some skills, let @improv know.
Also, to get the full scope of this contest, please follow the link below to the post from @improv, which is where video submissions will be entered.
MY SAMPLE EXAMPLE
Now I have never done stand-up comedy, but I figured that I would try some for an example video. I could have juggled (but I can't) or played a song for you (but I can't) so I chose to do something that is easier to fake.
I'm not entering the contest, but if you think that you can make a better video of you showing off a talent, why not enter it for your chance to WIN?
Please feel free to contact @improv with any questions or reach out to him on his Official Open Mic Call Post.
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Everybody liked your video. You are undislikeable.
Yes i will look at your share!
Thank you so much Mr. @papa-pepper! I had no way of knowing about the contest if it weren't for your great engagement with the whole Steemit Community.
Now that I do though, things got interesting so I've decided to make my own video.
Thanks again for your engagement with the community. You really are someone who's not in only for the profit, but as you made money out of Steemit, you intend to share it back and promote the community with them as well. I'm grateful for it. Have a great day! :D
Wow! Please do! Make that video!
I did Mr. @papa-pepper! You can find it on the original Post: Right Here.
I am still confused if it's ongoing, since I don't see much activity on the post itself. But since you've just made this promotion post today, I assumed it's still ongoing. Seems rational to me. Hahah
Really love your works @papa-pepper, i may may not speak for every steemian but believe me when i say this, you are a really a great source of inspiration to us all.
Thank you very much for that my friend!

nice play on words sir :) if I was brave enough to do what you does in front of a camera I would give this stand up thing a try but I'm too comfortable behind the movie screen when things are working that is :)
Congratulations @papa-pepper!
