Minnows - last 24 hours left to enter the contest. Due to the support and upvote of many magnanimous Steemians, the author share of Steem $ is likely to be 10 Steem $. Therefore, the first prize winner will get 3-4 Steem $ (I do not know exact amount since I can not estimate curation rewards deductions. Whatever is received, will be used towards prize money as outlined in my contest post below and calculations shall be transparently shared if requested)
Please show your creativity and come up with a witty caption.
Senoir Steemians - please take a look at the contest and support. Thank you for your help to minnows and for spreading wildlife awareness through re-steeming.
Original post content is reproduced below for quick reference:
Though a minnow with limited means, I wish to spread awareness on wildlife and their diminishing habitat
So I am hosting this simple contest with my limited wallet.
A minuscule prize but hopefully, support from large-hearted Steemians will enhance it.
Actions:
Think of a creative and funny caption for the original picture taken by me shown above ( Example - Height of laziness – waiting for rain to get a drink.). The funnier and crazier the caption is, the more appealing it will be to spread awareness.
Please keep your caption limited to 1 sentence max. The shorter the better.
Please avoid the use of four letter words or swear words as far as possible.
Type your entry as a comment, upvote and resteem this post
Not mandatory - You may want to follow me to keep track of further wildlife awareness blogs/contests

(50% of the Steem dollars author rewards generated from the post and donation Steem dollars received shall be retained for conducting further contests/ awareness programs/ other efforts for wildlife and deforestation causes. Also - while calculating Steem $ generated by the post, actual Steem $ received will be calculated not counting Steem power, after the amount get credited after 7 days. Spreadsheet keeping track of winners of contests and their prize money will be shared upon request for transparency)
Judging:
I will pick the winners based on the captions I find most creative and funny but the voting on comments (caption entries) by everyone will certainly help. In future, as the contest grows, we will try to empanel judges and pay them a judging fee amount too as a mark of respect.
The contest is open to all but the prizes will be for minnows who have a level 50 or below.
Senior members – please participate to showcase your creativity and spread the message. The prize is a small amount and should not matter for you magnanimous Steemians.
Appeal - Whales, Dolhpins and all the good Steemians who want to support minnows as well as Wildlife, please help us by upvoting/ donations/ Resteeming to increase the prize money. Thanks
[Big thanks to couple of Steemians who donated to encourage hosting of contests for minnows]
