Contests!!

We are thrilled to see so many members holding contests to decide who to sponsor into Steem Basic Income. Great job, everyone!

It’s only been a few days since our last Contest post, but we already have a baker’s dozen of new contest announcements! Since you have more time, try to think about your submissions and reward these awesome hosts with quality submissions.

Some of these awesome members have more than one contest happening. I chose to only list their most recent if I saw more than one contest post. If you enjoy somebody’s contest format, check their feed for more, and follow them so that you don’t have to wait for our listing to come out!

If you want to see more contests before we mention them, check the #steembasicincome tag in Trending or New and see what's happening!

Enrollment

If you want to get involved, or to increase the share of basic income that you receive, enrollment is pretty straightforward:

Just send 1 STEEM to Hive account@steembasicincome. Include the name of a Steemian to sponsor in the transaction memo (preceded by @). You and the person you sponsor will each receive 1 share in the program. You can sponsor any active Steemian, it does not have to be a current member.

If you're unclear, please check out our full transaction memo guidelines and then let us know if you have any questions.

The official currency for enrollment is STEEM. We are not accepting SBD for enrollments. The current delay on enrollment processing is 3-4 days.

We had a great experience in April at the #steemcreators conference! The next Conference will be in Toronto, September 6-9, so mark your calendars!
