Steemit “HomesteadingChallenge” #7 New Year's Special - Theme Announcement and Rules - SBD Reward for Winner!
Introduction
Welcome to the Steemit #homesteadingchallenge! The goal of this challenge is to unite the Steemit homesteading community with an invigorating contest every few weeks!
The #homesteadingchallenge will require a variety of different tasks and requests from anyone who wishes to participate. Examples of tasks include taking a photo of your livestock, answering a prompt question regarding homesteading, etc. Each challenge will have a different goal / theme so please read the announcement carefully.
What’s in it for you?
I plan to transfer ALL of the SBD reward the announcement articles earn to the winner of each challenge! The more support from each of you, the bigger the potential reward! One winner will be chosen for each challenge.
Rules

- Follow the specific theme of each challenge - each challenge will require something different.

- Complete your submission by the deadline.

- (Optional, but highly recommended) Upvote and/or resteem this post to increase the number of submissions and potential reward!
Steemit HomesteadingChallenge #7
Share a homestead resolution for 2018!
We’ve already done a challenge that shared our homesteading “bucket list” - a list of dreams and goals that may or may not happen at some point in the future - but this one is a little more specific! Please share a project on your homestead that you are planning to complete in 2018!
The size and scale of the project does not matter. It can even be a project you have already started and plan on completing within the year. It must have a specific point at which you can say it is “complete” however - follow the S.M.A.R.T goal suggestions and make sure it is “measurable.” For example, instead of saying “I want to earn more money on the homestead this year” you should say “I want to earn X amount on the homestead by X date.”
Share why you are pursuing the project you write about and what you hope it will accomplish/ add to your homestead.
Photos or diagrams/blueprints are also appreciated (if applicable)! They are not necessary to win but they will help readers gain a better understanding of your vision.
Of course, most projects will not be completed by the contest deadline next week so I cannot choose a winner based on the effort put forth into the project/ the actual accomplishment of said project. But I will be following along with updates provided and I hope to see a grand reveal of your finished project(s) by the end of 2018! I mean, the whole point in making a resolution is attempting to keep it!
It would be greatly appreciated if the winner would use the contest reward towards completing their resolution project… though it is your reward to do with as you please!
You have ONE WEEK to write your submission for this challenge - please post it by 11:00 PM (CDT) [UTC offset: UTC -5] on Sunday, January 7, 2018!
Don’t forget to include the #homesteadingchallenge tag in your article! Link your submission in this article’s comments below and/or tag me (@kiaraantonoviche) in the comments of your article! This is how I will find the submissions! I will also try to comment on each submission to let you know that I have seen it and that it has been entered into the running!
Winner will be chosen the following day - Monday, January 8, 2018 - and winnings will be paid immediately following this announcement post’s payout. An article announcing the winner with proof of the reward payment will be posted following the reward dispersement.
I’ll try my best to make this challenge (and future challenges) fun, inspirational, and most of all… worthy of your time!
Good luck and Happy New Year!

So last night I decided to to boost the reward for this post using minnowbooster thinking it would be fun to pump up the rewards since there are so many entries. However, I just realized it is a conflict of interest so I am withdrawing from the contest. Good luck everyone!
I'm in! Here's my 2018 Homestead Goals. I'll be following everyone in the comments too. Thanks! https://steemit.com/homestead/@offgridnation/2018-homestead-goals#@timmo3663/re-offgridnation-2018-homestead-goals-20180107t205214136z
Here is my entry for the contest. https://steemit.com/homesteading/@basicstoliving/resolutions-for-our-homestead-2018
We have a great community here and I hope it grows.
Happy New Year!
I just finished reading it and commented! Thanks for entering the challenge!
I may or may not throw my hat into the ring but it looks like a fun challenge!
And Happy New Year Everyone!
You can do it, my Canadian friend. Happy New Year, stay warm, my friend
Thanks I am sure I can come up with something. Happy New Year to you and yours!
Looking forward to reading the projects people have planned for next year! May God bring blessings to all of you as you work on your labors of love.
P.S. I typically do not upvote my own articles. I am only upvoting this announcement article for the sake of increasing the SBD reward the winner will receive!
Also, thank you for the HM in Challenge #6.
I'm so naive when it comes to steemit. I don't know if I should or shouldn't upvote my posts. I don't know the costs or benefits to doing so. I don't understand SP, etc. Help!!!
Call Bobby he might be able to help you if not he has my number and I will try to help if I can.
It's up to the individual! I try not to upvote my own articles because it uses my voting power to support myself instead of other authors. Many people view that as selfish since it gives more Steem to yourself than to others! But that's all I know about it! Wish I could help more!
That helps. Thanks.
No need to explain yourself.
Thank you, great contest idea. It is an honor to participate .

Thanks for the heads up on this post/contest. I'm in.
My pleasure! Just read your entry and commented!
YAY..... I entered this challenge, excited for the outcome at the end, come on spring, and the end of the June.
Just read your article about the root cellar, that's very exciting! Can't wait to see progress on it!
Yay! I was just discussing a major (for us) project with hubby for this coming season. This challenge will help firm up the details.
I can hardly wait to see what other folks come up with, too. The creativity in this Community is boundless!
used the tag and mentioned you in the post; and here it is again just in case!
