If you are already running a contest on STEEM, the latest announcement is music to your ears...

The latest announcement from the 100 Days of Steem initiative is for people running contests.

The announcement says they will be using their @steemcurator01 account to upvote contests that are currently running on STEEM in order to juice up the rewards a bit.

The official announcement can be seen here:

And how the upvotes will be distributed out:

One of the biggest hurdles people face running contests on STEEM is the lack of large payouts/prizes...

We all know that if the payouts/prizes were larger, more people would play them, and hopefully this can help with that.

This could also be a good way to bring more people to STEEM if the contests are advertised outside of STEEM.

One of my personal favorites has been the contest run by @sportsncoffee.

It used to be mainly about the big 3 sports and whatever sporting event was taking place that day, but it has had to change course since the covid-19 virus has basically shut down all sports globally.

Hopefully that one, along with a couple others I have seen around that look pretty good, are able to get some help.

Stay informed my friends.
