Happy New Month!

🌴 Ah, Q’s island, my favourite place to go to! I can’t wait to travel there again this year, lying on my hammock with it tied between two palm trees, on the beach with a DaiQuiri in hand as the sea waves lap beneath my dot… Time to book my… whaaat?

All flights are cancelled?? No ferry crossings?? Q-uarantine?! Curse my curvy hook, this is worse than I thought! Oh well, I guess it’s for everyone’s protection and to help keep people safe. Never mind, we’ll put the vacation plans on hold this year and put together a little travel destination wishlist. Hmm, I’ve just had an idea ☝️💡…That would make a great topic for this month’s contest!

I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s had vacation plans scuppered by the pandemic so I’d love to know where your favourite travel destinations are! Maybe you have a wishlist that you’ve been adding to this year or you were planning on revisiting a place? Perhaps your getaway involves the beach or mountains, skiing or some other activity?

Whatever or wherever your nominations, I’d love to live vicariously through them so be sure to share some photos too - I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

The Topic For This Round Is…Favourite Travel Destinations

How To Enter This Getaway Contest

1 - Create a blog post with your top 3 nominations along with your reasoning behind them. Entry posts must have:

• A minimum of 250 words total and
• The #yourtop3 tag MUST be in the first 5 tags used
• The deadline for submitting entries is the 9th
  
  

2 - Put a link to your blog in the comments section of this blog.

3 - Set your post payout to 50/50. You keep the HP and then transfer the HIVE and/or HBD (whichever is paid out at the time) to Hive account@yourtop3 with a link to your blog post entry in the transfer memo. This is the minimum entry fee, but you can add as much as you like to it! The more you add, the more you can win.There is no maximum entry fee.

You must send your entry fee in by the 19th of the month, otherwise you won’t qualify for the final standings for the month and won’t get credit for the entry for the league standings either and that would make me very sad - don’t make me sad...

Not sure how to find your post payout? Look in your Hive Wallet under Author Rewards to find the exact payout for your post. In the example below you would send the 0.011 HBD and 6.441 HIVE over to the Hive account@yourtop3 account as your entry fee. I’ll take it from there and convert all of the prize pool to HBD for easy prize distribution at the end of the month!

The deadline for submitting your entry is the 9th
The deadline for sending entry fees is the 19th

Creating Your Entry Post

You are welcome to create your own post but for your convenience I have created two different templates. The first one; a more complex version, contains some markdown/html coding creating a nice table for you to edit. The second template; for those of you not familiar with markdown/html coding, is a simpler version. In both templates, I’ve highlighted in red text where you need to edit.

• The table version can be found here

• The basic version can be found here

How detailed you want to go is up to you but I know you can do better than “because I like it” 😉

I have allowed our Panel members to create their own post with their own suggestions but these will NOT be entered into the contest - I forbid it! Instead the Panel’s post payouts will be used to add to the prize pool for bigger prizes.

What Happens Next?

I will first review all submissions for eligibility.

Then all submissions will be put into a public dpoll.

Once the dpoll is complete, I’ll review the results and combine them with my patented scoring system before dishing out the prizes to the top 3!

Any Questions? Join My Discord Server!

I have my very own Discord server where you can ask me any questions about the contest and engage with your fellow contestants! Bragging about previous victories accepted 😉 Join the fun here where there’s even more chances to win with Top 3!

Good Luck!

All that leaves me to say is - GOOD LUCK and I look forward to reading your entries!
