#Promo-Steem Sponsorship Pitch by @nithishkumar | Meme contest

Hello steemians,
This is my entry for the contest promoting steem conducted by @stephenkendal .

I have already suggested about meme contest in #contest4steem , but at that time I didn't make my post about the contest in detailed manner. So in this post I'm going to explain why I choose meme contest and how I'm planning to conduct the contest in detailed manner.

ABOUT THE CONTEST:
The contest can be called #MEME4STEEM and it will be carried out in two phases.
PRIZE POOL:
• FIRST PHASE - 30 Steem.
• SECOND PHASE - 20 Steem.
First and second phase of the contest will be explained in detailed manner in later portion of this post.

WHY I CHOSE MEME CONTEST:
The reason for me to choose meme as a contest is because they are funny , entertaining and easily consumable. It is most simple and effecient at same time. A meme can get more attention and go viral than anything. Even in terms of advertising if you advertise a product with memes it won't feel like watching an advertisement for the people. In terms of the target audience and the participants also meme contest will reach to a wide range of people. So meme contest would be a great contest to promote steem.

HOW TO CONDUCT THE CONTEST:
FIRST PHASE:
Contestants have to create positive memes for promoting steem. After creating the meme, they should post it in promo steem community and share the link to their post with meme in comment section of the post featuring the first phase of the contest. After the deadline of the first phase of the contest, the best 10 memes will be selected and awarded with steem.

RULES FOR FIRST PHASE:
• Only one entry per contestant to maintain the quality of meme.

• Drop your entry link in the comment section of post featuring the contest.

PRIZES FOR FIRST PHASE:
• Best 10 memes will be awarded with steem.
• Each winning meme will be awarded with 3 steem.

SECOND PHASE:
Second phase of the contest is to share those winning memes in twitter.Contestants taking part in the second phase are expected to tweet those memes in their Twitter accounts and ask their followers to retweet it. After making the tweet , contestants must share the link to their tweet in the comment section of the post featuring the second phase of the contest. After the deadline of the second phase of the contest, every tweet will be checked for the number of likes and retweet. Top 10 tweets with highest number of likes and retweet will be awarded with steem.

RULES FOR SECOND PHASE:
• Must tweet one of the winning memes of the first phase.
