💡 What is the Steemit #monthlyauthorchallenge and how can I participate in it?

Hello Steemians from all over the world!

This here is our new account for the Steemit #monthlyauthorchallenge and in this first article here we want to introduce the Steemit Monthly Author Badget Challenge (full name) to everyone who hasn´t noticed it so far.

Maybe the #introduceyourself tag helps that many new Steemians will see this opportunity to earn some additional SBD every month and maybe some new whales will hear about this challenge for the first time too…

This fun challenge namely has many advantages for all Steemit members and the Steemit.com community in general, so that it could be interesting for friendly whales to support the challenge participants with their votes and/or this account here.


The author of this first introduction article is @future24, the initiator of the Steemit #monthlyauthorchallenge.

I (@future24) had an easy but very efficient idea in December 2017, when I was thinking about a smart way how I can improve help improving the Steemit.com stats a little bit...

And the answer was: With the power of duplication!

I really like all the different contest & challenges here on Steemit and they are helping new members a lot for example, because they can get more attention to their articles faster by participating in contest and if they are winning a challenge, they can earn some additional rewards.

This is really cool and the concepts are improving very fast, so that they are already contest like @photocontests, where you can get up to 2 upvotes per day by participating in their different photo-challenges too for example + if you will be chosen as a winner of the week, you will get big whale-votes on your winning-article!

These kind of challenges are also helping to improve the statistics of the social-media-blogging-platform Steemit.com as a side effect.

So my personal solution to help our awesome Steemit community here by motivating other Steemians to stay active, was to create a challenge with almost no rules and with easy to distribute rewards, for all participants in the best case, not only for chosen winners.

And so I combined my idea for a very easy photo challenge with the cool @steemitboard service, created by @arcange and I immediately started with my spontaneous idea for the #monthlyauthorchallenge!

Here you can find the first article of the Monthly Author Badget Challenge: ✨ Steemit Challenge Idea: The Monthly Author Badget Challenge! ✨

In the beginning the reward for participating in the Steemit Monthly Author Badget Challenge was only that you will unlock the so called “Monthly Author Badget Challenge” on steemitboard.com, for which you will have to post at least 1 article a day (I implemented it as a rule of Monthly Author Badget Challenge too), but there already so many people were excited about my idea and participated, even if there was no money rewards!

This is awesome guys, I didn´t expected to inspire so many people with my idea and this motivated me to continue improving the challenge!

Since February 2018 we also have a monthly SBD (SteemDollars) prize pool now, which is financed with donations and mainly through “Prize Pool Updates” articles!

I’m always donating the SBD rewards of this articles to the prize pool to reward motivated Monthly Author Badget Challenge participants and I shared the articles on my main Steemit blog @future24 in the past.

From now on, this account here will support the participants of the Steemit #monthlyauthorchallenge too by up-voting articles and with Resteems of great contributions to the challenge for example!


Finally, here are the rules how to participate in the Steemit Monthly Author Challenge:

  • You have to post at least 1 article with a photo of your life every day for one month with the tag #monthlyauthorchallenge and arecognizable title. (Steemit Monthly Author Challenge Round x - Day x!" for example, or use the abbreviation S.M.A.C., if you don´t like the long name.)

  • You don´t have to add a detailed describtion to your photo article if you don´t like and it can be a quick photo post with Steepshot for example too. (But don´t forget the #monthlyauthorchallenge tag and more details about your photo can help you to earn more post-rewards!)

  • The photo of your life (It can be anything interesting) don´t has to be up-to-date, but not older than 1 year, or you can also choose a photo of your childhood. You can tell a real life story instead of sharing a life photo too if you like.

  • To make it more comfortable for everyone, you don´t have to nominate someone for the challenge every day in your daily post. Nominating is voluntary, but to share this fun, I would suggest to nominate some other Steemians from time to time, so that you can do this funny challenge together.

  • The challenge ends when you reached the Monthy Author Badget in the beginning of the next month on steemitboard.com and then publish a little final post that you finished the challenge.

Info: The period for the Monthly Author Badget is always from the first of a calendar month until the last day of this month. 👌

That´s it, just have fun!

If you like the idea, you are welcome to join & share this challenge too!
