Contest #1—Win a Free Ticket to SteemFest 2017 at Lisbon!
This contest is all about the community. Steemit is about giving and without people's generosity, none of this would have been possible. Do you know someone who has always been supporting your blog and bumped up your post by another couple of cents? Have they benefitted the community in any manner? Maybe they are a good friend, or maybe someone you met through Steemit!
As we all know, @steemfest 2 is coming up and some people are craving to join this great event but unfortunately do not have the sufficient funds to attend.
This is your chance to give something back to the community! I've been meaning to give something back to the person who has been always supportive of the Steemit community. Do you know someone who has been a great participant in the community or are you someone who deserves an amazing week in Lisbon during SteemFest?
Keep reading because I am sponsoring one SteemFest 2017 Minnow Ticket to the winner.
Minnow tickets currently cost as much as $264.40 or € 222.22 or about 296 SBD.

I would like to nominate @fatpandadesign.
Why - Its not because he has started a #TheUnmentionables group for minnows but he is helping a lot of minnows who are not getting heard in this platform. As we all know or might its my obsevation in 2 months of Steemit that as an Individual you will never succeed in Steemit, you have to have a good connection and good community to thrive on. He is trying to build that with the help of minnows. So all the like minded people are getting together so that we make this community better and thus help each other while enjoying it. Thanks @firepower for the awesome opportunity.
Thank you so much for the nomination @codingdefined - you're an amazing groupmate!
I have already been ranting and raving about making my way to Portugal as I am a digital nomad. Going there and THEN attending SteemFest would be a dream come true this year. I am currently fighting a bum leg and have spent about 8k in med bills over the past few months - so winning a ticket there would be an AMAZING present!!
I started #TheUnmentionables so that everyone - black, white, yellow, rich, poor, smart, not so smart, whatever - had a place to call home. It can be home to EVERYONE of all ideals, creeds, religions, and mindsets - so long as you treat each other with respect, dignity, and compassion. And honestly, the group members we have recruited so far (over 160 so far) have done an amazing job at embodying these ideals.
Our group focuses on forging lasting bonds and friendships - and honestly, that's exactly what's happened. I've made so many new friends, and so many others have as well, simply by having a place to call home. I've received countless messages and post comments from people stating that our group is exactly what SteemIt has needed for a while now, based on the way we present ourselves and the acceptance and tolerance our group embodies.
We turn away NO ONE. And I invest everything of myself into this group. I spend so much time and energy in growing and ensuring the group continues to grow, evolve, and better itself day by day - and I have recruited an amazing team of moderators and other leaders that help me implement our plan and carry out our mission.
So, this nomination is huge for me, and I would be HONORED to go. I was already potentially planning on going to Porto around the same time, and probably would have purchased a SteemFest ticket even without being nominated (if I had the money by then) - but winning this would just be absolutely amazing.
So, thank you. And I hope that you consider my nomination and admission when making your decision @firepower !
As I am wondering to all the people contending (I am only here for a month now, and have not contributed enough to contend), I must say @fatpandadesign deserves to be the winner for me.
#TheUnmentionables seems to have had an amazing impact on some people lives, and I am considering to join them. So @firepower, here's your winner in my humble opinion!
Thank you so much!!!
@fatpandadesign DESERVES TO BE THE WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 100%
i'm agree with you,
Let's see what happens - I do hope this becomes a reality though. I would cash out some crypto to purchase my ticket to Lisbon tomorrow if I do win this <3
I would also like to add that I am planning on running for witness before the end of the year too - I am fully invested in SteemIt and being able to go to SteemFest would allow me to meet everyone who's made this possible.
I'd be able to learn so much more about being a better leader for the group I formed (now around 270+ members + quickly growing), connect with some of the most influential and inspirational Steemians around, and even offer up ideas to improve the existing services and apps available, by collaborating with other attendees.
I've recently been interviewing many influential figures in the SteemIt community, and one of them, @ADSactly, said he was actually going to SteemFest - they've made me their official podcaster, so by going, I'd be able to record so much valuable content to share with all of SteemIt and hell, the entire world.
Sending me to SteemFest this year would also check an item off of my bucket list. Ever since I lost the first SteemFest contest I entered, I've been absolutely determined to win and make it there - I HAVE TO GO and be a part of this event, which will mark a point in history for SteemIt.
Sending me to Steemfest would allow me to represent my fellow group mates, all of which I (and my fellow leaders) work extremely hard day in and day out to ensure that they have the best possible chance to grow and succeed.
I've recruited so many people from FB to join, and I literally advertise Steemit to almost everyone I meet - especially about how "they have to join right now they're missing out on the best thing ever".
Plus, Portugal has been on my bucket list to travel to, so I'd be able to visit and explore after SteemFest ends - the absolute PERFECT set of circumstances!
If you send me, you will not regret it. I've been saving up crypto to afford the flight, and also a cheap action cam, so I can document the entire journey and event, and share it with all of you beautiful people that are unable to attend.
Send Panda to SteemFest and make a dream come true <3
I would also like to see @fatpandadesign get the ticket.
I truly appreciate your support!! Here's hoping that this happens!
What an amazing initiative, thank you for giving exposure to the good heartedness of people on our platform, this is what makes us strong!
All for one and one for all! Namaste :)
yes that's right .....@eric-boucher
This reminds me of our last steemit meet up in Berlin...
many friends of mine already have the tickets and will be going for the Fest! I hope I can go too!
Hello! This a message of a huge importance. My Steemit friend, @roxane, deserve to win your contest. She has already tried different contests - have a look at this and this ! since she discovered Steemfest (and even made a video about it!) ... But she never succeeded. She has this obsession about steemfest since the very beginning. And got depress when she saw the ticket fee (extra costs, extra costs !). In my point of view, she deserves more than anyone to win your contest. Look at my steemit blog : at the beginning I was doing everything shit and now thanks to her I am invested thoroughly in Steemit. I walk the streets every day to convert new people into Steemians. Without @roxane I will not be here and I will have given up a long time. she works hard very hard every day to bring quality content on Steemit (look at her videos ... and she even organise meetups where almost nobody show up... but she continue... !), look at her blog ! sSe spends all her time here., to help the french steemien to show up here and stay. Her strength and her energy helps a lot the french community everyday to grow. There were no community at all before she arrived ! There were all posting in english ! I wish she could win , this will be justice. She deserve it so much... ! Be fair and make her win this ticket. It will motivate her to do even more and above all you will discover a wonderful person! I do not need this ticket I want that @roxane wins and she asked me nothing, I write this comment of myself because she deserves it. So now if you want to be fair, go look at her blog, at her videos... Offer her this ticket please... The entire French community of steemit will be grateful to you! Thank you for your attention ! And sorry for the english, it's Google Trad !
Hahaha Crazy girl :-D
Mais Merci Infiniment, merci de m'aider à la réalisation de tout cela :-) Du soutien moral, c'est ce dont on a le plus besoin quand il n' y rien d'autre. Et c'est finalement le plus important ! Merci @planetenamek ... Je verrai si je participe ou pas, mais j'ai déjà passé tellement de temps à essayer de gagner ces concours, que parfois, je me dis, que le plus important est juste de continuer mon boulot auprès de la communauté FR, plutôt que de perdre mon temps à essayer de plaire à une whale pour lui mendier un ticket pour Steemfest. Si mon boulot était reconnu, je pourrai me le payer moi-même. C'est ça qui est trop con ;-) ! Et comme tu sais, quoi qu'il arrive, j'irais à Steemfest ;-) Merci encore de me soutenir !
Hi Firepower! @acromott and I created a video together nominating each other! We would love to teach free acroyoga class at the event, and it would be such an honor to meet our Steemanian friends. I made a post for our entry. Hope you find it entertaining! :) For full reasons check out my post: https://steemit.com/love/@karensuestudios/firepower-free-ticket-giveaway-to-steemfest-entry
This is the video we made! hehe.
Nice event bhai.All the time u giving better information plus u r idol for indian Comunity and big Inspiration for me want to talk u at list once :)
have a good day bud 😉
As soon as I read your post, the first person that came into my mind is my friend, @awesomianist. To tell you more about him, he is the one who introduced Steemit to me, telling me how Steemit is like a light at the end of his dark tunnel. He is very passionate about Steemit and is really excited to be in Lisbon to attend Steemfest2.
Now, there are several reasons why I want him to be there. I really want him to win the ticket as a form of appreciation. I can say that he constantly supports me, both in life and in Steemit. In life, well, first, he introduced me to Steemit, convincing me to try. To write and express myself more. And I did! I learnt to voice out my opinions more day by day, thanks to him. Whereas on Steemit, he constantly supports my blog, upvoting and telling me where I did wrong, how to edit them to make them more interesting. I would never have the confidence to comment on people’s blog if he doesn’t encourage me to.
Knowing him for over 5 years now, I’ve seen him grow. From zero to where he is now. It was hard for him and I want to see him grow more by attending the Steemfest2, where he can learn more from others, meeting awesome people, giving him the motivation to keep pushing himself to the very best. His life is hard and I want to help him to get out of that. I think that by attending Steemfest2, it will boost him up to do more in his life.
Besides that, he is already supporting others in Steemit. Just recently, he held The First Ever Steem Workshop to introduce Steemit to those in Miri. He even went as far as to prepare the snacks for the participants on his own. He succeeded in gathering 5 “new friends” and ever since, the number of new Steemians from Miri has been increasing.
He is also helping @acidyo to run a “Comment of the Day” contest, which enable Steemians like me, who doesnt have much voting power, to reward commenters and show our appreciation.
He also told me how he is trying to bring more people to Steemit. For example, he told me that he talked to a lady at a bazaar,who is on her solo hitchhiking journey about Steemit. He also talked to his ex-schoolmate to post her song covers in Steemit. And this is why I salute him so much. I would never have the courage to do so.
Other than that, he is also leading a team, together with @bitrocker2020 for Malaysian Steemians. Their goal is to grow the Malaysian Steemian Community.
He also started a Facebook Group, with the help from @kevinwong, to gather around online outside of Steemit.
As you can see, @awesomianist is all about teamwork and supporting each other. This is why I want him to have the opportunity to grow more because I am sure, he will not grow alone but will bring people together with him.
The flight ticket from Malaysia to Lisbon is not cheap. Therefore, I would like to lessen his burden, by nominating him for the free ticket.
Just bought tickets to Lisbon. What a great timing to encounter this post!
I've been thinking when to buy the ticket and keeping an eye on the fluctuating steem and sbd prices. Sometimes transfer steem to sbd. Now I still haven't bought the ticket.
I think I'll postpone my action of buying SF ticket for a week. Thanks @firepower for the contest! Added ur link in my post :P
See you in Lisbon haha.
Hello @firepower - I would like to nominate myself @art-universe - well unfortunately I saw your post a little bit late and I didn't post my Steemfest post until now, but I will post a series of drawings which represent the most important component of STEEMIT - THE COMMUNITY itself.
I also would like to attend, because I want to make a short movie and interview some people there - the movie is about "THE VISIONS OF THE CRYPTONAIRES" It is NOT about technical things or the world of cryptos in general - it is about the social visions, how WE ALL CAN CHANGE OURSELFES AND THE WORLD to make it a better place. I would like to transport insights about important topics which are related to the society, the human psyche and what visionairies like Daniel Larimer think.
Another reason for me is very personal actually - I really want to get out of town and meet new people, but in the moment I am unemployeed and cannot afford it. I will have a new job and hope to make some money with my art in the future, but for this Steemfest, I really can need some help.
THANKS @firepower for viewing this post. I hope to get your help and that you keep watching my post... in the next days I release the posts and you will see what I mean.
Blessings, Martin
