My intent is to bring awareness, conversation and relationship over the concept of veganism... whether or not you are vegan does not matter! You can enter anyway!

Thank you to everyone for their love poured into this contest, I am so thankful for our community here! I know this is a busy place so I appreciate you taking your time to draw attention to our community and cause!

I want to start off with a bit of a change to the judging system...

The last two weeks I have been doing a mass reward pool with lots of winners. See I wanted to reward multiple people as long as they FOLLOWED THE RULES (and put in an honest effort), splitting up the post value among everyone who qualified.

This week, I am going to change how this goes. Unfortunately last week's post wasn't as high value as it has been before, but I will still be contributing 1st prize from my own account and spreading out the SBD as follows.

Taking inspiration from @papa-pepper's contest prize pool system, I am going to offer 50% of post payout to 1st place, and 12.5% to a second place and third place each (unless there is no second/third, then the percentage will be spread out accordingly!)

I think this will be a more encouraging system. Let's try it out!

Remember, if you don't put your link on this post, I may not find it! Also, please mention this contest in your post... I am wanting other vegans/plant-based/foodies/interested Steemians to be able to find where we have our fun!

Rules of the game:

I am notchyourmotha! I'm not here to tell you what or what not to eat but my contest, my rules so your entry must be vegan/plant-based ie: nothing can come from an animal!

As my loving and open rules state- you, yourself do not need to be vegan to enter this contest but your post does have to be! That means if it's a recipe please be sure to remember that animal products are not vegan! If you need help, feel free to comment and ask me!

I was in the middle of adopting/re-fostering some new family members so there is a lot going on in my house right now! I also began fasting so I was not as intimate in the kitchen as usual but here's what I whipped up this week! Quick and easy breakfasts fit for a vegan on the go!

What day can I enter?

Originally I had meant for this to be a Wednesday only challenge however, I've extended it so that you can enter whatever day you want (much easier for you to enter that way!), but I will release the winners for the week on Wednesdays so the cutoff for the week will be Monday at 12UTC to give me time to go through them all. If you submit after that time, don't worry! I will consider your entry for the following week!

What's love got to do with it?

Please mention this contest in your post! I am trying to get a friendly community together here with similar interests so the more people who can find us, the more we can grow, the more we can learn, the more we can love! If you meet someone vegan-licious or plant-based-tastic, invite them to join in! The more the veggier!

How to participate:

• Post what vegan means to you! This could be anything from vegan approved recipes (no animal products) to poems, to reviews... basically I am looking for vegan related content at your discretion (must be animal friendly!)
• Tag it within #veganwednesday (using your first tag will help me find it!) and I will go through them every week, choosing a winner and announcing them each week!
• If you do not tag it in #veganwednesday, sadly it can't count
  (I will have guest judges help me from time to time as well as we grow!)
• Post your entry on each week's update (this post will serve as this week's, so post your submissions here!)
• I will create a post announcing the winner each week along with any deserved mentions as to help foster a strong community bond for those of us who are trying to share our messages, love and inspiration with the world!
• Only positive posts will be considered. This isn't a war for animal rights or a call out to tell people how to live! It's a loving, caring, sharing invitation to get to know each other and support our community!
• Your content will be evaluated on how much heart you show! Pull on my heart strings and you got yourself a prize! <3

WINNER, WINNER (No Chicken Dinner!)
