Introduction
Welcome to the Steemit #homesteadingchallenge! The goal of this challenge is to unite the Steemit homesteading community with an invigorating contest every few weeks!
The #homesteadingchallenge will require a variety of different tasks and requests from anyone who wishes to participate. Examples of tasks include taking a photo of your livestock, answering a prompt question regarding homesteading, etc. Each challenge will have a different goal / theme so please read the announcement carefully.
What’s in it for you?
I plan to transfer ALL of the SBD reward the announcement articles earn to the winner of each challenge! The more support from each of you, the bigger the potential reward! One winner will be chosen for each challenge.
Rules
Anyone and everyone is welcome to join! Simply follow the guidelines in order to be eligible!
- Follow the specific theme of each challenge - each challenge will require something different.
- Use #homesteadingchallenge as one of your article’s tags.
- Complete your submission by the deadline.
- If you chose to participate, you give permission for your submission to be linked and referenced in the winning announcement article.
- (Optional, but highly recommended) Upvote and/or resteem this post to increase the number of submissions and potential reward!
Steemit HomesteadingChallenge #10
Start some seeds!
Yup, nice and simple! Write up an article explaining what seeds you are planting, where you are planting them, and take some photos or a video of the process! You must have a visual included in your post because anyone can write that they planted seeds without actually taking action!
I know many people have already been posting articles about this recently so please note that if you have already posted an article within the past week (since Monday March 5), you may submit it to the #homesteadingchallenge instead of writing another new article! Just link it in the comments below and I will read it!
I can’t exactly base the winning choice on how many seeds are planted or what kind(s)/uniqueness of seeds planted because that depends on factors beyond your control, like available space on the homestead or local climate/zone. Therefore the winner will be chosen randomly via a number generator online - submissions will be numbered in the order they are entered.
As usual, you have ONE WEEK to write your submission for this challenge - please post it by 11:00 PM (CDT) [UTC offset: UTC -5] on Monday March 19, 2018!
Don’t forget to include the #homesteadingchallenge tag in your article! Please link your submission and tag me (@kiaraantonoviche) in this article’s comments below! This is how I will find the submissions! I will also try to comment on each submission to let you know that I have seen it and that it has been entered into the contest!
Winner will be chosen the following day - Tuesday, March 20, 2018 - and winnings will be paid immediately following this announcement post’s payout. An article announcing the winner with photographic proof of the reward payment will be posted following the reward dispersement.
I’ll try my best to make this challenge (and future challenges) fun, inspirational, and most of all… worthy of your time!
Since this is the 10th Homesteading Challenge and it’s a little special hitting that double digit mark, the SBD reward will be at least 5 SBD!
Good luck!
