Win With Steem : Contests roundup @ 4 February 2020
There are many contests, challenges and competitions scattered across the Steem platform.
They present a great opportunity for people to have fun, engage with others on the platform, and win prizes - STEEM, tokens, upvotes.
But alas many contests don't get the visibility and the participation they deserve.
So I thought I would revive this listing of contests that I first did almost a year ago.
Please let me know of any other current contests you know of. I am sure I have missed quite a few.
If you are running a contest currently and I have missed it, please accept my apologies. Send me the details and I will add it in.
If you would like to help spread the word about all these great contests, you are welcome to resteem this post as well as the invidual contest posts.
You can also share them in your communities and in your Discords.
Contests are a great way for newcomers especially to get more involved in the platform and to build up connections.
They may also be a good way to attract people to join Steem - everyone likes the chance to win something for free.
So if you are on Twitter maybe you can retweet my Tweet about this post, and maybe even share it on other social media.
It would be great if you could use the hashtag #winwithsteem.
Thank you.
Here are the current contests I have found so far...

well done.. keep on making this thread as it making others easy to find a contest on steemit.
Will do, thank you.
Greetings, excellent guide to compete, thank you friend. You can include the daily drawing contest here listed https://steemit.com/artstorm/@artstorm/prompt-list-for-artstorm-week-10
Thanks for this one - now added.
Thank you for advertising my contest!! Hopefully it can get give it a boost. Participating in contests around the blockchain is a great way to gain a few steem to power up and visibility to get the journey started.
You are welcome.
Let me know if any details need changing, or if you run any further contests.
https://esteem.app/photochain/@davidesimoncini/photochain-challenge-18th-edition-start-17th-edition-s-winners is a creative and challenging contest that deserves a lot more attention.
Hey, thanks for this neat summary, I didn´t know about some of these contests :) Let me add mine.
I run a weekly Steem price tipping challenge (last round can be found here), a weekly upvote giveaway (not really a contest but it´s finally getting some traction, last round is here) and I also organize random photo contests on various themes :)
Sorry I missed your contest, now added. Let me know when you next do a photo contest.
Thanks :) Will do.
i maybe should have sent this one to you .. although maybe with it being SHADE as the prize it might not fit?
