That'ts great that you travel, that's a great way to meet influences, and promote. You just need to follow up with them from time to time..

About the contest reward, if Steemit is ready to contribute then that's a great news! And I'm not only talking about contest for best ad, contest for best video..

I'm talking about contest to get Steemit exposure on media, radio shows, get an influencer to write about Steemit... Etc.

How would you feel about a something like that?
