I am amazed how many contests and competitions are popping up on the Steem blockchain.
Some are well known, others are hidden away in the nooks and crannies of Steem.
One of the goals of this roundup post is to give a bit more visibility to all the contests.
Please let me know of any other current contests you know of.
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.
I had a great response to the first Contests Roundup post last week.
My particular thanks to Sharon @fitinfun for her great list of contests. And also to @bil.prag.
I am still working through all their suggestions. Some have now been added, others I am still processing.
I am also exploring ways to give an extra boost to some of the smaller contests.
The GAME Show
Following the end of the State of Steem Forums I am starting a new show on MSP Waves this Thursday called The GAME Show.
This is going to be all about games, gaming, contests and competitions on Steem.
If any contest organiser would like to pop on the show to promote their contests just let me know.
Keep the contests flowing...
