#BandsAboutBands S1:E1 Announcement | 10 STEEM prize money!

I have thought a lot lately how to give something to the awesome Steemit community. Hive account@dsound (by Hive account@prc) has been very generous with upvotes for my own band Hive account@spawnband and I’d like to give something back to the community.

I really like the Steemit community spirit and therefore would like to launch a Bands about Bands contest. A couple of benefits of participating:

• Your post will be added to www.fortheloveofbands.com and ALL submissions will be added there to support both you and the band / artist you’re writing about;
• We’ll all be promoting Steemit on multiple platforms, as it will be posted on our website, shared on all of our socials, resteemed at Hive account@ftlob Steemit profile and hopefully shared on bands’ socials and Steemit profiles;
• As BandsAboutBands will be a Steemit-only feature from now on, it will direct more people to Steemit;
• You will give something back to the community with promoting other artists;
• Both you and the artist you’re writing about, will be added to our new ‘Bands about Bands’ Spotify and Soundcloud playlist.
