Steemit “HomesteadingChallenge” #6 - 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

Steemit HomesteadingChallenge #6

Share your favorite (or most informative) source of knowledge that has helped you on your homesteading journey!

Was it the stories your grandfather told as you sat on his knee or the afternoons spent in the garden with your mother? Is there a website you were overjoyed to discover or a book you turn to whenever you have a question? An inspiring documentary, an informative magazine… what resource has proved itself to be superior time and time again?

You have ONE WEEK to write your submission for this challenge - please post it by 11:00 PM (CDT) [UTC offset: UTC -5] on Friday, December 22, 2017!

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 - Saturday, December 23, 2017- 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!

Sadly, I just found out about that challenge! Oh well, next time! :) Great entries, by the way!

There is still time to enter! If you can post an article within the next 12 hours, I will still accept it!

Amazing! It's certainly a sign I should post my entry! It's almost finished anyway! Thank you, thank you!

Awesome, I'll go read it now! Thank you!

Ooohhhh... now this is great!!!!
Wonder how many of us pick the same book or reference... lol

It will be interesting to see! Thanks for the resteem! Hopefully we get a lot of participants!

Awesome thank you for entering! I'm off to read it now :)

Thanks for the opportunity!

You don't like to make things easy for us do you! 😆 I'm really going to have to think on this one. So good to have you back with your challenges!

Haha and I didn't think this one was too bad! I was planning on doing a scavenger hunt but figured it might be a bit chilly out for that ;) maybe in the spring haha

It's getting a bit hot out here!

Lucky! It's snowing here!

Thank you @kiaraantonoviche for taking this initiative. Here's my post:

Awesome! I just finished reading it and you've been entered into the challenge! :)

Thank you

I'm going to try to write something for this, it'll be my first contest! How is the winner chosen?

I typically chose the winner based on a few different criteria (depending on the challenge) including how accurately they answer the question posed/ complete the task given, how honestly I believe they answered the question/completed the task, how useful/relevant the information is to homesteading and prepping, etc. Mainly the more genuine of a response given, the better. Sometimes I have a hard time choosing so I will number submissions (in the order they were written) and use a random number generator to select a winner!

Thank you for taking the time to answer! I can imagine it gets hard choosing, there must be so many great stories/ entries by the end date. Good luck!

It is definitely difficult but I enjoy reading all the answers!

Awesome, gonna read it now!
