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.

@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.

enter image description here

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 shares of SBI.

enter image description here
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 shares. But be quick! When Friday is over, so is the contest - until the next week that is.

enter image description here

We-Write is a new challenge they’ve just started in the last few weeks. It runs every other Wednesday (next one is July 25th) with a prize of 4 SBI divided among winners.

Finish the Story Contest

enter image description here
This weekly contest is run by @f3nix. He recently launched the @bananafish account which now hosts the contest which runs every Wednesday. He posts the beginning of a story, and you finish it. Then you post your complete story for everyone to read. The winner, as chosen by the @bananafish god, wins SBI shares. 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.

Paying it Forward

enter image description here
In the spirit of helping new Steemians, this contest focuses on curating great content and is run by @thedarkhorse. 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 shares. Follow @thedarkhorse to see the latest contest post and read it for full details.

ZapFic Writing Contest

Like super short stories? Try writing one in 232 characters or fewer for your chance to win SBI in this contest run by @felt.buzz. Every Wednesday he posts a new prompt to use for your very short story. Be sure to read the rules on this one as you'll need a Zappl account to qualify, but your stories will be automatically posted to Steem too.

NOTE: Contest images used with permission from their owners.

Instead of trying to be thoroughly comprehensive (and then end up not publishing) like we have before, we have only included the most recent contests (skipping duplicates). If we missed yours, feel free to share it in the comments for our readers to find, and to stop by our Discord server to post it in the contests channel.

Enrollment

If you want to get involved, or to increase the share of basic income that you receive, enrollment is pretty straightforward:

Just send 1 STEEM to @steembasicincome. Include the name of a Steemian to sponsor in the transaction memo (preceded by @). You and the person you sponsor will each receive 1 share in the program. You can sponsor any active Steemian, it does not have to be a current member.

If you're unclear, please check out our full transaction memo guidelines and then let us know if you have any questions.
https://steemit.com/basicincome/@steembasicincome/steem-basic-income-new-transaction-memo-guidelines

The official currency for enrollment is STEEM. We are not currently accept SBD for enrollments. Please allow up to 7 days for your enrollments to be manually processed.

She came to Steem to put the focus back on her own writing, and maybe make a few pennies while refining her craft. She enjoys sharing what she knows with others on her blog and Discord. In real life she’s a homeschooling mom that teaches physics at an alternative education non-profit.

🍀 Upvote Game © (Round 11) 🍀 Win 2 SBI Shares 🔖🔖 For your ’Lifetime Upvotes’ 👍🏼 Worth 2 STEEM‼️

Thanks for the mention!

Thanks for the great contest!

Hi @steembasicincome! Today, I send one steem each for buying sbi shares for @tinanikolovski and @robert31. Kindly, let me know if they are included in the sbi list.
Thank you.

Enrolment is done manually. The will move to automated soon but because of the volume of new shares it can take up to 5 days to be added.

Thanks for pooling all these contests in one place.

You're welcome! We still miss a few, but we're working on it.

Hey guys, is there a way to get listed on these by you for contests? Or do you guys just randomly pick? Just good to know for future reference as I do contests frequently. Thx!

I was using ginabot notifications before. I would go back through notifications and list everything that hadn't closed until I reached 10-12 or so and then stop. I believe that @ntowl is doing something similar, but she may have discovered a more efficient method already. That's one smart cookie!

Lol. Gotcha!

Thx!

I am very happy to be joining Steembasicincome ,, success always

thank you very much for the information, i will check it out next time

I should join some contest to increase my share :D

Yes, you should. :D

Thanks for posting these! Always fun to see if there are ways to get a few more shares.

=^..^=

It's always fun to see names popping up with lots of different sponsors as they start participating in lots of contests. Some members have done quite well for themselves and even sponsored a few of their own to pay it forward.

Great to see so many give aways of SBI. Thanks for the update. 💜

hello good initiative

Wow, Thanks for the mention, I appreciate it.

Could you please include my raffles in this post! Thank you!

PS: new raffle and last announcement will be up tomorrow!

I tend to miss the timing on them when I put the lists together, and the same thing happened again now that @ntowl is helping out. But she came up with the great idea to have a 'regulars' section, so we can see about adding your raffles there. I have noticed them in the discord as a fairly regular occurrence.

thanks yeah pretty much doing them every 3 days!

Either I’m incompetent or the new SBI Lookup Tool does not work with iOS.

I have heard similar reports from other users. If you look now before somebody changes it, I just put your name in it. You are also welcome to ask in Discord if somebody will plug your name in for you, since you can't fill the cells yourself.

I resteemed, upvoted, and followed. I will be ready for more contest soon

Thanks for the support! I hope you also went through the list and picked out a few to enter!

wanna win this.

I've just started my first competition, and I'm giving SBI shares as the prize. Can I link it here (I'm assuming yes)? https://steempeak.com/photography/@revo/inaugural-revo-photography-competition-win-sbi-shares

Hi @steembasicincome, i do have a share of SBI . I am hosting a small contest that may helpful for new steemit users to earn some. As i am also new member with 3 months only , so the prize amount is not much. But i am trying my best to increase it. Here is my contest link:
https://steemit.com/ulog/@aaarif/ulog-5th-week-paint-contest

Yay!! so many good contests!!! And we are starting even more soon!! So much fun to be able to give the gift that gives on giving LOL

I'm also offering an SBI share to anyone (100SP or less) who asks me a question on one of my fiction posts that causes me to write an "Ask the Author" post. This is ongoing as I can't write an "Ask the Author" post if no one asks me anything!
