Though a minnow with limited means, I wish to spread awareness on wildlife and their diminishing habitat
So I am hosting this simple contest with my limited wallet.
A minuscule prize but hopefully, support from large-hearted Steemians will enhance it.
Actions:
- Think of a creative and funny caption for the original picture taken by me shown above ( Example - Height of laziness – waiting for rain to get a drink.). The funnier and crazier the caption is, the more appealing it will be to spread awareness.
- Please keep your caption limited to 1 sentence max. The shorter the better.
- Please avoid the use of four letter words or swear words as far as possible.
- Type your entry as a comment, upvote and resteem this post
- Not mandatory - You may want to follow me to keep track of further wildlife awareness blogs/contests
- You can search for this contest by the tag 'CaptionContest'
Timeline:
The contest will run till Saturday night (24 June 2017). To take care of participants from all over the world, I will only start assessing on my Sunday afternoon. Winners will be announced within a day and next round will be started.
The Prize: (Sorry I am a minnow with limited means so can only guarantee a small amount plus a variable amount based on support)
1st prize - 0.1 STEEM from my personal wallet + 30% of author reward Steem $ generated by this contest post
2nd Prize - 0.1 STEEM from my personal wallet + 20% of author reward Steem $ generated by this contest post
3rd Prize - 0.1 STEEM from my personal wallet + 10% of author reward Steem $ generated by this contest post
If any donations are received, they will be counted towards enhancing the guaranteed portion of prize (30% of donations received for 1st prize, 20% for second and 10% for third)
(50% of the Steem dollars author rewards generated from the post and donation Steem dollars received shall be retained for conducting further contests/ awareness programs/ other efforts for wildlife and deforestation causes. Also - while calculating Steem $ generated by the post, actual Steem $ received will be calculated not counting Steem power, after the amount get credited after 7 days. Spreadsheet keeping track of winners of contests and their prize money will be shared upon request for transparency)
Judging:
I will pick the winners based on the captions I find most creative and funny but the voting on comments (caption entries) by everyone will certainly help. In future, as the contest grows, we will try to empanel judges and pay them a judging fee amount too as a mark of respect.
The contest is open to all but the prizes will be for minnows who have a level 50 or below.
Senior members – please participate to showcase your creativity and spread the message. The prize is a small amount and should not matter for you magnanimous Steemians.
Appeal - Whales, Dolhpins and all the good Steemians who want to support minnows as well as Wildlife, please help us by upvoting/ donations/ Resteeming to increase the prize money. Thanks
[Big thanks to couple of Steemians who donated to encourage hosting of contests for minnows]

Lol. Thanks for participating kalemandra. Interesting take on jammed open jaws. Appreciate your support. Please resteem if you like to enable this to reach more minnows. Thanks
I'm glad you liked my comment. I've just found this caption contest. That hyppo makes me laugh! :))))
It made me laugh too. It was almost posing for me with a wide open mouth as if it was smiling for the shot. I took the picture near the Hippo loop in Pilanesberg
I heard hyppos are the most dangerous big animals in Africa. But mosquitoes are more dangerous, though they are so small.
Lol - Even crossing the road is dangerous!
"DAMNIT HONEY! I TOLD YOU TO MOW THE LAWN!"
Thanks goldenroom for your support and participation. I request you to resteem if possible to make this reach a lot more minnows. Thanks.
