The Marvelous Tales Contest

In honor of all the creativity here on Steemit, I'm hosting the Marvelous Tales Contest.

The idea is simple: I give you two words, and you build your tale around these two words. You could write a story, make a comic or video, use a drawing or photo to accompany your tale, or even write a song. You can submit your entry by creating a post dedicated to this contest.

I will be picking the winner based on originality, creativity and entertainment value. Subjected, ofcourse, to my personal opinion, but I try to be as fair as I can!

Last week's results:

Third place
There were only two entries this week.

Second place
See first place.

First place
We had two entries this week and I enjoyed both of them. Seeing as the payout of last week's post was quite low, I'm handing out two first prices this time.

Hive account@imenion's entry won 0.632 SBD - I loved the way this short story painted the scene. It very much reminded me of all of those fantasy books we love to read.
Hive account@tediursa24's entry won 0.632 SBD - It might be a little messy at points, but it fits the writing style and the funny remarks inbetween. Again, it's great to see how much work Hive account@tediursa24 can do with so little time.

Congrats to the winners! I enjoyed reading your entries very much.

Proof of payout

Contest number 6

First price: 45% of the SBD this post makes.
Second price: 25% of the SBD this post makes.
Third price: 15% of the SBD this post makes.

Closing notes:

I reserve the rights to disqualify any entry I deem inappropriate.
Due to the contest being new, the rewards are based on payout of this post. My goal is to change this in the future.
Rewards, winners and a new contest will be announced once this post is paid out.
I'd be very grateful if you would mention a link to this post from your entry post (it's not a must!). It's a new contest and anything you could do to help broaden its reach is very much appreciated!

Thank you for your attention and I'm looking forward to seeing your entries!
