π΄ UPDATE : π΄

π΄ Any Donations will be added to the prizes for the following weeks contest , GROWING YOUR PRIZE POOL !!
π΄ β " P.O.P Contests (5) Rules " βπ΄
β« β(1) "No reposting / editing , Your all ready made posts, or editing posts that have all ready paid out Especially if you Did Not Decline Pay Out the second time around To get double rewards plus possibly winnings from the contest for the exact same content . Thank You !
β«β (2) Use #popcontest as the first tag REASON : This makes it easier for us to distinguish that Your Post IS An Entry , and not just a post useing the #popcontest tag ! As you can use the tag for positive posts all you want but only the first entry Will Be Judged and easier for my guest judge to find . Thank You !"
β« β(3) Up vote and resteem the main contest post REASON : This helps raise Your Prize Pay Out and get more people involved , spreading more positivity on Steemit which is the main goal of this contest !!
β«β (4) Only 1 Positive Themed Original Post Entry each as mentioned above ! ( No NSFW )
(but you can use the #popcontest tag when you like in your positive posts ! just the first entry will count .)
β«β (5) PUT A LINK to your original positive post entry in my comments below So I see it sooner , and can up vote and resteem your post sooner AND I KNOW ITS AN ACTUAL ENTRY As many use the #popcontest tag just for posting or posting more then one positive post ! "
π΄π²All Donations Are Greatly Appreciated and will still go 100% Towards the prizes , they will be added to the next weeks contest , So if you donate I will bump up the prize payouts in the following weeks contest by however much is donated , Thank You !π²π΄

Thanks so much for your kind reply , and your very welcome ! hope you find time to enter my #popcontest!π
I have contested 3 times in a row since I started following you. This is my favourite contest and I feel robbed for not contesting in this round because I have been quite busy with my community youth elections, i'll surely enter the next one.
Awesome ! im looking forward to it , thanks !π
This post has received gratitude of 1.59 % from @appreciator thanks to: @karenmckersie.
Awww @karenmckersie, I hope that this is not goodbye forever! I love your contest so much... I even did a mention last week, trying to get some newbies on-board. I will miss the positive vibes if you stop the #popcontest.

Awe thankd for your awesome and kind reply ! As long as i am getting the support needed to run the contest then I will keep it going ! I changed the prize structure so it should be much more manageable now , with out me having to lose money . I will it try it out at for two weeks and see how it goes !βππ
I only just discovered you and the POPcontest
hoping you can find some sponsors and/or find another way
to keep it going somehow,
would love to take part in future :)
Yes it should be better now that I changed the prize payout structure ! βππ
I hope this is not the last popcontest.
You brought so much positive vibes and it was so nice to see more people on board.
But I understand and agree with you - you can't keep on losing money.
Thanks for your kind reply , I will see how it goes this week !π
This is my entry to this week's pop contest

Thanks for entering , will check it out !π
Awesome Karen, great contest. Am sure this contests will pick up steem soon. Your reasons are germane as always. Thanks for being Karen as always
Thanks for your kind comments ! your welcome !πβπ
Thank you karenmckersie for making a transfer to me for an upvote of 2.06% on this post!
Half of your bid goes to @budgets which funds growth projects for Steem like our top 25 posts on Steem!
The other half helps holders of Steem power earn about 60% APR on a delegation to me!
For help, will you please visit https://jerrybanfield.com/contact/ because I check my discord server daily?
To learn more about Steem, will you please use http://steem.guide/ because this URL forwards to my most recently updated complete Steem tutorial?
This is the type of contest and tag that I would hope people would be motivated to use regardless of the payout. A community collaboration with merit that is worth so much more than dollars.
Thank you so much , I agree ! Did you check out my winners post and your wallet !? Congrats on the second place win !! ππβπ
@moneyinfant has added your contest to the list Steemit Writing Contests: Issue #12. The list is updated on a daily basis and your contest will remain on the list until its expiration - there's nothing you need to do.
The list was created to save writers the excessive amount of time spent searching through the #contest tag for writing contests. Now they can just come to the list each day, see new contests and use their time doing what they love - writing.
If you'd like to help spread the word about the Steemit Writing Contest list I'd really appreciate a resteem, but it certainly isn't necessary. The project is simply meant to help writers save time and contest creators attract more contestants.
P.S. If you know of any contests I've missed I'd love to hear about them. Thanks!
This is awesome thanks ! i will check it out as I also enter contests !π
You're welcome. I hope you can keep the P.O.P contest running. Definitely check out the contest list, it's up to 31 contests strong today...something for every writer.
I just checked it out but did not see my contest added . I will upvote and resteem you anyways , its a good idea ! π
Never mind i found it ! lol! you were allready upped ad resteemed ! thanks !
It's a long list and I need to figure out how to format it for better visibility. That's likely a weekend task. Thanks so much for the upvote and resteem, your support means a lot to me.
No worries ! thanks !π
nice post...

Thanks for entering #popcontest ! will check it out !π
Good luck π to all the entries ! Wish my upvote counted for more! (Working towards that!)
@jeejee
Awe thanks no worries ! its the whales and dolphins that should be contributing and helping those that are trying to make steemit a better place ! your awesome though thanks !βππ
Yes.... I tend to agree with you. I have been going through #dolphinschool with @markrmorrisjr and there were only a few people with any acknowledgement what so ever during the whole 10 days. (today is day 10 of the bootcamp) I was hoping it would get more recognition. .. not just for my blog but for all 20 of us who participated. We worked out tails off learning all we could and there were some amazing blogs put out there!
I noticed your stuff has been going on for over 20 weeks... it disappoints me with all this great effort that little attention has been paid to it. I wonder if there is just too much going on for the materials to reach those that could make a difference?
@jeejee
I have no idea whats going on , it seems really slow and quiet on here for a lot of people , yet others are making hundreds of dollars every time they post . I didnt think it would take 26 weeks so I kept it going hoping for more support as it is a steemit initiative ! I do get a nice upvote from sweetsssj once in a while which helps a lot . thanks for your kind reply I had no idea there was a dolphin school ! Best of luck to you !ππβ
Thank you. We hope to make some waves one way or another βΊοΈ
I hope you do ! best of luck ! πππππ
I loved your innitiative and hope it keeps on going. here is a link to my post. thanks

Awesome thanks will check it out !π
I love how you find a way to reply to every single comment posted @karenmckersie. And you really give genuine replies. You really motivate some of us. I totally love your contest idea. I saw it in passing some time ago when someone used the tag. I actually made a positive post sort of, but at the moment of posting it, I wasn't sure the tag in my head was the real one. Turns out it was. But alas, I've already posted. I'll definitely use the tag next time though. Thanks for helping people discover positivity everyday. My wish for you is an era of plenty sponsors. ππciao
Thanks for your kind reply its much appreciated although i have been sick with the flu this week i try but have been missing a lot and sleeping more . βππ
Here's my positivity post: https://steemit.com/popcontest/@binkyprod/i-truly-deeply-and-completely-love-and-accept-myself-realising-the-positivity-within-me-my-entry-for-the-p-o-p-contest-26

Thanks for enteringmy #popcontest , i will check it kut !βππ

Hi @karemmckersie. It is sad to learn that this is possibly the last round. You have elevated the power of positivity to a whole new level with this contest. I enjoyed reading all the other entries.
So, here's my entry for this last round (hopefully not) :
