Look What Contests I Found!

Greetings fellow steemians! Once again I felt it was time to do a Look What I Found post, and since I am hosting a contest myself this week, I thought it was appropriate to look at what other contests have been submitted by others.

As you'd guess, there are so many contests posted just in last few hours that you can be easily overwhelmed by all of them. Very impressive! A closer look, however, will reveal that many of those are not really contests. Posting a comment to participate in a random draw, as is the case for many Steem Monster Card giveaways, is a bit too simple for my taste. So I took the luxury of being a bit picky, selecting two contests I found interesting.

Also, as always, I wanted my Look What I Found curation style post to participate in @pifc's weekly Pay It Forward Curation Contest - yes, another contest! - so I followed their criteria of choosing two posts whose authors have less than 55 reputation points. May this little effort help them get the word out, increase their followership, and make their contests even more successful.

Guess the Strawberries 🍓 and Win 100% Upvotes + 3 Steem by @whatsontrend

This little contest seems very fun and lighthearted. @whatsontrend presents us with a yummy-looking strawberry cake she has presumably baked herself. Sorry for presuming things here, but even that is not the case, she certainly knows exactly how many strawberries went into the cake. Though one can count the pieces decorating the top, I'm sure there are more than that in it... According to her, the winning number is somewhere between 7 and 92 🍓.

All you need to do to participate is simply give an upvote, a resteem, a follow, and a comment with your guess. The three participants with the closest guesses will each receive one steem each, everyone else will get an upvote, a resteem, and a follow. So if you're interested, visit the contest, but hurry: this is particularly quick one, expiring in only 47 hours!

WORLD’S DAILY FOOD PHOTO CONTEST • [TUESDAY APPETIZERS and/or SOUP] by @travelsbyblue

My second choice is another food-related contest. (I may have been hungry while composing this...) It's a food photo challenge, focusing on soups and appetizers. The instructions are pretty straight forward: take a pic of a delicious soup or appetizer, and post it in the comment section, along with a little description of the dish, its name, your location, and what device you used to capture the image. Of course a resteem and an upvote are helpful requisites that help this and other such contests keep going.

The winning pics are determined by the quality and creativity of the photo. The prizes for the first three places are .150 .125 and .100 steem, but if you think you'd like to participate you should do it now, as the contest closes tomorrow, a minute before it's high noon in the Philippines.

Good Luck to Every Contestant!

So now that I'm sharing these two contests, I feel like I should also participate in them. I don't know if I will be among the winners, but since I'm curating them, I feel like we're winners already. The same sentiment goes out to the curation contest by @pifc. Finally, if you think you are good at recognizing caricatures of famous musicians, do take a look at my Mexican Mural Music Monday contest! Unlike the two contests I'm curating, this one won't be closing for another six days. Good luck to everyone!
