Your Top 3 Contest Spreadsheets!

Any questions? No? Excellent! Thought you'd agree!

In the hope of sprinkling some positive vibes around here, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about one of the fun things that has been happening for nearly a year now on the Steem blockchain - @yourtop3.

This is a monthly contest where we simply ask you, the Steem community, what your top 3 things are about a specific topic decided on the 1st of each month.

Open To All

"Wait, what? Aren't these types of things meant to be exclusive?"

Not in our book. Anyone is welcome to enter the monthly contest or chill in our Discord - with the only rule to join the Discord being you need to have successfully entered the contest (you don't have to hang around if you don't want to)!

Other than that, there's just the standard rules to be eligible for the contest.

How Do I Enter?

Well, that's not exactly a chore either and the rules are always outlined in the contest introduction posts with comments from the @yourtop3 account to help you along the way. But seeing as you asked so nicely, here's how to enter (from the 1st):

1 - Write an original post about your choices with a minimum of 250 words using #yourtop3 as one of the first 5 tags. You can post in your chosen community but we are being strict on NO CROSS-POSTING OF YOUR ENTRY POST - you won't be eligible to enter otherwise. Make sure your post payout is set to 50/50 and the deadline for submission is the 9th of the month.

2 - Once the post has paid out, you keep the SP half but send the STEEM/SBD half to @yourtop3 (please note that post payout can sometimes be both SBD & STEEM). Post payout information will be on @steempeak by going to your "Activities", clicking "Author Rewards" (circled red) and sending the amount your entry post paid out highlighted in the yellow box below - deadline for entry fee submission is 21st of the month. In short:

Write post before 9th of the month
Send entry fee in before 21st of the month

Sometimes, post payouts are in SBD & STEEM (circled yellow), you'll need to send both that SBD & STEEM over as your entry fee, but you keep the SP from it and power up

After That?

Well, once we've collected all the nominations, we then make a dpoll and let the Steem community vote on them over the course of the 7 days.

Once the 7 days has gone then we collate the results and, using those EPIC SPREADSHEETS I mentioned, we announce the winners where the SBD prizes are dished out to the top 3 finishers.

And that's the mechanics of the Top 3 Contest

Engagement

We got you covered seeing as everyone who enters generally interacts with others and it makes for good banter about the choices made. The 4 of us that organise the contest (@plantstoplanks, @foxyspirit, @cheese4ead and myself) always stop by with a comment and keep things lighthearted. We even have our own contest mascot called Q - look how happy he/she is with our engagement!

Leagues

We also have ongoing leagues that run every quarter and throughout the year which have their own SBD prizes for those that enter so it really does pay in more ways than one to write a Your Top 3 post!

Don't worry, no special requirements needed to join the leagues other than making sure you meet the 2 requirements in the "How to Enter" section above. We'll have the current standings over on the @yourtop3 blog and in our Discord.

What Are You Waiting For?

Well, technically, the 1st I guess so you can find out what the next topic is? 😜

But go follow @yourtop3 so you don't miss out and if you have any questions or aren't sure, just reach out as we're pretty helpful people and want to keep this fun and everyone to get involved (as long as you aren't plagiarising or cross-posting or anything else naughty hey)!

Looking forward to reading all about Your Top 3 😉

Nicky

And then it was the 1st! Always helpful when you put out a post like this to reiterate all the fun and the finer points of entering. :) Looking forward to what everyone puts forth for March!

Mad isn't it?! 1st of March already and the rules of the contest are officially changed (slightly different from what I mentioned above) after the latest announcement and new topic! Looks like they are going to have to be reiterated again - I'm totally fine with that 😜
