The 1UP #esoteric community airdrop continues, with some awesome entries to the contests in week 2!
Our intention is to build and support a thriving community of esoteric content creators on the STEEM blockchain.
Through using the #esoteric tag, their content will be easy to find by anyone with an interest in the many subjects that can fit under that umbrella. They will also benefit from being part of a 1UP starting community.
To find out more about what that all means, check out the launch post for the 1UP Esoteric Community here:

UPTOKEN AIRDROP CONTEST UPDATE
We are airdropping ONE MILLION UP Tokens to esoteric creators over ten weeks!
The contests will remain the same each week. Each week period runs from Monday until Sunday inclusive.
The winners are announced each week. The day of the announcement might vary slightly, due to my other time commitments. However, the contest weeks will always run from Monday to Sunday, until the end of week 10, which is 3rd December 2018.
We are currently in week 3.
