Contests, Giveaways and Raffles!
Last week I was excited about how much SBI was up for grabs. This week, I’m blown away! There are multiple contests where you can win 5, 10, or even 20 SBI shares! It’s amazing. If you’re looking to grow your Steem account and get even more upvotes from SBI it’s time to get busy!
Remember 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.
