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

Hive account@tolarnee's entry won 0.525 SBD

Second place
Hive account@ethandsmith's entry won 0.875 SBD

First place
Hive account@ellievallie's entry won 1.575 SBD

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

This week's rewards were increased a bit with the payout from my extra #marveloustales post. Remember, all we need for some extra support in rewards is an upvote on this post!

Proof of payout

Contest number 14

The rules:

Your entry must be original work and completely of your own making.
One entry per person.
You have to name your post as followed: "Marvelous Tales #14 - [Title of your entry]".
The first tag of your entry post has to be #marveloustales (I will be using this tag to sort through the entries).
Your entry should be kid-friendly, meaning no PG-rated content.
Drawings and pictures are allowed, but make sure they are accompanied by a tale.
Because the prices are based on payout of this post (for now), you must upvote this post to compete.

Prices:

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.

This week's guest judge:

This week, we have our very first guest judge! We'll be using his words and he'll be the one judging the entries and naming the winners.

Our guest judge of the week is: Hive account@datboithe1

Closing notes:

I reserve the rights to disqualify any entry I deem inappropriate.
The rewards are based on the payout of this post. This might change 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!). Anything you could do to help broaden the contest's reach is very much appreciated!

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