Contests, Giveaways and Raffles!
HF21 goes live tomorrow. I’ve seen lots of debate of how that’s going to affect everyone, but tonight you still can visit all the contests listed on our update list to get your chance for SBI shares before it happens! I’m confident SBI will still be going strong no matter what happens, so get started on those contests now.

Caption Contest
Help celebrate digital art by creating creative captions for the week’s selected picture. Read all the rules carefully to be sure your entry qualifies for the SBI prizes.
@freewritehouse
The folks over at @freewritehouse run three contests each week. All of them are designed to encourage community engagement and highlight other's work. Besides the prizes from the @freewritehouse account, they are always interested in hearing from anyone who will sponsor a contest and so they can offer even bigger prizes.
A Favorite Freewrite You Read contest runs every Tuesday for just 24 hours. You need to read some freewrites written (you can read this post to see what they are), and then comment on the contest posts about which ones you liked best and why. If they choose your comment you win units of SBI.
Recommend your Favorite Freewrite Poem is a poetry version of the Favorite Freewrite contest and it runs every Friday. Make a comment about a freewrite poem you loved and you could win SBI units. But be quick! When Friday is over, so is the contest - until the next week that is.
The FreeWrite House We-Writes kick it off every Monday with a new prompt. Just complete the story with a five minute free write (or longer if you choose) and you could win 5 SBI shares.

Check out these recurring contests too!
Quite a few industrious Steemians run contests regularly. Here is a list of the ones we know about at the moment. All of these have been running for months so you can count on their posted schedule.
Be sure to check each account and look for the contest name as the links change each week. Also remember to read the full contest description as the rules and prize values sometimes change.
@bananafish
Finish the Story Contest was founded by @f3nix and is run by him and the Bananafish Paladins via the @bananafish account which now hosts the contest that runs every Friday. He posts the beginning of a story, and you finish it. Then you post your complete story for everyone to read. One of the prizes is SBI units. The important thing to know about this contest is that it's an ongoing creativity workshop, so if you miss one deadline you can participate in the next.
Mizu No Oto is founded on the belief that every image has a haiku. It’s an @bananafish contest curated by @marcoriccardi, a real haijin (haiku poet) and it's a great occasion to learn this form of poetry. It runs twice monthly, once in English and once in Spanish.
Tell a Story to Me is a contest started by @calluna, who being potassium minded, brought it over to the BananaFish Realms. Tell a story following the prompt to win some cool prizes!
Easy SBI Contest
The ‘Easy SBI contest’ requires only a single comment (of any nature) to be in the draw. The winner is drawn at random the following day.
Paying it Forward
In the spirit of helping new Steemians, this contest focuses on curating great content and is run by @pifc. It runs weekly on Mondays and asks that you find two "High Quality Original Content Blog Posts" to recommend for curation. Four judges decide which recommendations were the best and multiple winners get SBI units. Follow @pifc to see the latest contest post and read it for full details.
Thank you economy
Every week you can visit the Thank You Economy contest and tag someone who has helped you. When you do, both of you could win SBI units from the ever growing prize pool!
Punday Monday
From the creator:
What is Punday?
Punday is the best day. It's the day we post a topic upon which you are invited to pun in the comments for a chance at SBI shares. You get to read all the incredible puns, and you can try your hand at puns, and you can just bask in the warmth and love that punsters offer. I am your Puntender, and I serve hot puncakes with Mapun Syrpun.
Steemexplorer’s Daily
@steemexplorers is a project operated by @jonnyla08 and the “Monsters Madness Giveaways” team which aims to consistently help others find resources to improve their Steemit user experiences, network with other community members and achieving personal growth.

Presently while we work through these projects we conduct FREE daily giveaways of SBI shares among other things throughout the other members of our team. Please see the instructions in our daily giveaways for more information on how to participate.
Lyric Poetry Contest
With the contest using the prompt, the poet will show with his verbal expression illustrate a deep feeling, a reflection, a state of the spirit, as experiential and aesthetic manifestations.
Wednesday Walk
Try and get out once a week for a short walk, can be from your office, home or anywhere really and walk for a few blocks or a few minutes looking for things to get shots of and share a post on a Wednesday with the #wednesdaywalk tag for a chance to receive SBI.
MeatyMondays!

hey @steembasicincome I did not receive your upvotes on my post today. Is there an error, or did I do something wrong?
Seems like you may have posted your most recent post just around the time the hardfork started forking..
It seems sbi bots have stopped working since that time, as even in the comments here sbi is not replying to status calls as of 10 hours ago..
Well, at least your vote value has stayed juicy :)
Thanks! :) Yes I've purchased quite a lot of shares and always upvoting SBI :)
Changes to API calls as part of HF21 resulted in parts of our bot no longer working. We have paused voting until our dependency programs (beempy) are patched.
Gentleman! With new hardfork 2, Is there any reduction in share that a SBI members are receiving every month?
Please reply.

We have written about the expected impacts twice.
We will automatically adapt to 50/50 by increasing the total rshares delivered to each member: https://steempeak.com/hf21/@steembasicincome/sbi-in-an-hf21-world-part-1-50-50-rewards
Since the impact of CLRC and downvote pools will be different for every single member, depending on where they are on the curve, we are not making any changes to rshares delivered. https://busy.org/@steembasicincome/sbi-in-an-hf21-world-part-2-convergent-linear-and-downvote-pools
Having SBI support will still help you be higher up the curve than you would be without it.
thanks for sharing SBI Precious Contests 💙 @steembasicincome
