Contests, Giveaways and Raffles!
We’ve gone into another cold snap here where I live - just as Spring is supposed to arrive. I guess I’ll be staying in and seeing what contests I can enter on Steemit.
It’s a good thing I have so many listed here! All you need to do is comment for most of them, or maybe play some Minecraft. It’s going to be a great weekend!
If you want your contest listed, the best way to get noticed is to post it in the contest channel in the SBI Discord server.
Please try to think about your submissions and reward these great hosts with quality submissions. If you enjoy somebody’s contest format, check their feed for more, and follow them so you don’t have to wait for our listing to come out!
If you want to see more contests before we mention them, check the #steembasicincome tag in Trending or New and see what's happening! We also have a contests channel in our Discord server.
Each contest may have its own rules, so please read the contest post thoroughly before entering.

From the creator:
What is Punday?
Punday is the best day. It's the day we post a topic upon which you are invited to pun in the comments for a chance at SBI shares. You get to read all the incredible puns, and you can try your hand at puns, and you can just bask in the warmth and love that punsters offer. I am your Puntender, and I serve hot puncakes with Mapun Syrpun.
