Hello DIYers - 3rd Contest Month of 2023!

As you well know, we are a DIY community here on HIVE with the sole aim of supporting DIY creators all around the globe. Within this community we are hosting a monthly contest to encourage and reward great authors out there, and with each contest comes a theme. Because we are fully non-profit and share 100% curation reward with our delegators we have collected a bunch of cool projects and communities who are open to supporting us with the monthly prize pools. This time we have the great support of [Discovery-It](https://peakd.com/c/hive-193212/created) which you probably know already! If not scroll down and check out what they are about :)

Winner Announcement for February

Last month in the theme of moon we got 51 exciting contest entries what we never imagined! Thank you all for your participation and the interaction in the community!

## Contest Partner of this Month: @Discovery-It

For March we got great support by a befriended curation project! > @Discovery-it was born about 4 years ago from a highly motivated team of authors with the aim of quality and originality in the contents. Proof of brain has never been forgotten between our publications and that’s why, up to the present, we support original contents.

Blockchain’s world continuous development was followed by Discovery-it with the ability of change and evolve over the years and the forks.

Nowadays we are known as international Discovery-it community Italy based and, as has been done for 3 years, we are committed to promote original contents with little exposure inside the platform, addressing and counseling new authors that are approaching the fantastic Hive world.
@Discovery-it also is running a witness server and it would be amazing if you consider voting for them to support the curation of original content on the hive blockchain. ![3hhh.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/diyhub/23u6Ymmf5Bbxgb8iN848RX97nU2Uk8oER2xzYJUipKBE3NBUgdy6DEKMExv6WAUf9uuZ5.gif) A huge THANK YOU goes out to the team of @Discovery-it for the sponsorship of March!

You are amazing <3

## How to join the Contest?

All you have to do is to create a DIY post centering around the prompt/theme of the month.

#### 1 Prompt This month's prompt is our big friend the Teapot. Create something related to this theme and always remember: The more creative you get the higher is the chance of winning! It could be anything DIY, like a self-made teapot, decorate a teapot with some nice painting, a self-made stove for your favourite teapot etc. It doesn't necessarily have to fit exactly or show the prompt but it should be based on the theme of the month in some way.

#### 2 Rules 1. Follow every single rule to join the contest

2. Make a post with the topic until the 28th of March 2023 the time this post got published

3. Post your article inside of the [DIYHUB community](https://peakd.com/c/hive-189641/created)

4. Use the tag #teapotcontest for your post

5. Share the link to your HIVE article in the comments of this post

6. Generally, follow [our rules and target niches](https://peakd.com/hive-189641/@diyhub/faq-content-requirements-and-our-target-niches)
In case you are asking: You can participate with multiple entries if you want ;)

#### 3 Tips - To maximize your chances get creative and think outside the box. Create something unique with the prompt and try to avoid the obvious - use the long time until the deadline to optimize your post as much as you can - The more details your post contains about the process the better your chances will be - as you can read in the [rules and target niches](https://peakd.com/hive-189641/@diyhub/faq-content-requirements-and-our-target-niches) we only accept processes/tutorials not just posts about the final result - decoration items are often used for contest entries. If you create something practical or repair something - your entry will have a higher chance to win because of the real life usage and positive environment impact of your creation

#### 4 Prizes And now what we are all waited for - the prizes. The amazing people from @Discovery-it donated 50% of our prize pool. We are super happy and can not wait to see your cool entries!
1ST PRIZE: 30 HIVE
2ND PRIZE: 20 HIVE
3RD PRIZE: 10 HIVE
