STEEMITS GOT TALENT WEEK#3 HAS NOW BEGUN!

So come join us here at S.G.T. where ANY TALENT is A TALENT! Below I have stated the official rules set! Lets rock and roll! <3 Love from Hive account@bambam808 and all the sponsors, a GOOD LUCK! No, not good luck... BECAUSE THIS IS TALENT! GOOD TALENT too all!

OFFICIAL RULE SET! (Submission, Judging, Payouts)

Submission Rules:

Craft a new post w/ the talent video link, Titling it "Steemits Got Talent Entry # (whatever week you are competing in)" (allowing you to curate a payout from your personal post)
MAKE SURE YOU TITLE YOUR POST CORRECTLY (STEEMITS GOT TALENT WEEK#, ENTRY#)
Comment upon the S.G.T weekly post with a link to your video (allowing you to curate rewards on the comment as well)
FIRST TAG MUST BE SGT (lowercase of course)
2 ENTRIES PER PERSON! One entry may be a previously used video (posted to steemit already). The old entry used, must still be recreated to the above submission rules. The other must be made!
The contest entries will be accepted starting Monday, although the faster the entry comes in (after Monday) the better, so your entry has more time to accumulate upvotes!

Judging Process

I am keeping it fairly basic when it comes to judging! The entry with the MOST upvotes on the S.G.T weekly post WINS! (will be counted the 7th day, Monday and payouts will be sent out by Tuesday!)
Which is why it is vital to get your entry in early in the week, allowing for more time to network and promote your entry! (I will be resteeming entries as well.)
There will be a judging panel which will respond to each entry, ALTHOUGH THIS DOES NOT COUNT TO DECIDE THE WINNER, it is simply for viewing pleasure!

The question you have all been waiting for, the PAYOUT SCHEDULE!

The contest will start with 1st 2nd 3rd place prizes and grow to 4th and 5th (to spread out payouts, and give more people a chance to earn a reward payout.) I believe paying out smaller rewards to more people in the future will help this contest standout as not a personal money maker, but a place where we all can improve our talents and make some payout as well.

PAYOUT SCHEDULE - ITS TIME! We are proud to announce a new prize pool, as well as an extended prize pool due to the success of STEEMITS GOT TALENTS's first week. We have gotten many positive responses, and want to do everything we can to empower the entrants, and the community!

First Place- 60 whaleshares
Second Place- 40 whaleshares
Third Place- 30 whaleshares
Fourth Place- 20 whaleshares

The only thing you all must now know is that next weeks PAYOUTS will be in whaleshares. Tokens that may be used to upvote your own posts as you choose.

To collect your prize for STEEMITS GOT TALENT WEEK#3 you MUST have a openledger/bitshares wallet. BELOW are links for all with easy instructions on how download the wallet and how to use them were you to win them! LOVE from the SGT family <3

As I have always said, FOR THE STEEMIANS, BY THE STEEMIANS! A huge shoutout to my current sponsors, without you all this contest would not have come to fruition! I am glad to have a solid foundation, as that is the building blocks to anything in life, IF THE FOUNDATION is poor, the building itself (this contest) would be weak. STRONG FOUNDATION + STRONG IDEAS + STRONG COMMUNITY = POTION FOR SUCCESS FOR ALL OF THE STEEMIANS! With Love,
