Hobby Hub Challenge - Write About Your Hobby And Win SBD! New Challenge Just Launched! #1
Just launched! HOBBY HUB CHALLENGE! #1
We are all very busy people, not much time to spare right? But we all need something that keeps us a tad bit sane, something that helps us relax and gather our thoughts, something that challenges and allows us to practice our talents. Yes, I'm talking "hobbies" here. Most of us have them, most of us wish we had more time on our plates to focus on them. I'm giving you the opportunity to WRITE about them...AND WIN!
*** WIN 5 SBD PLUS ALL THE LIQUID STEEM GENERATED FROM THIS POST ***
Why Enter This Challenge?
This is a great opportunity to write about something you love, and earn something at the same time! Your post will be exposed to a greater audience and so will your name, helping you to build followers and a good reputation. All posts that meet the rules stand a chance to be mentioned in the winning announcement post too, for an additional chance to get you some exposure.
*** ALL ENTRIES WILL BE RESTEEMED, UPVOTED AND STAND A CHANCE OF RECEIVING ADDITIONAL SUPPORT ***
How It Works:
It's simple! Write about what you like to do in your spare time, or to pass the time. Tell us about your hobby, how you discovered it, do you do it alone or in a group, is it easy to do, your advice on the topic etc.
Definition of a hobby -
A hobby is a regular activity that is done for enjoyment, typically during one's leisure time. Hobbies can include collecting themed items and objects, engaging in creative and artistic pursuits, playing sports, or pursuing other amusements. - Wikipedia
Here's an example I did of one of my hobbies:
Oh How I LOVE To Spend Time In My Garden - My Favorite Hobby

- I will always have a guest judge to collaborate with, our decision will be final.
- The winner will be announced on the Sunday or following Monday and the winner will receive his or her payout along with the announcement.
- An entrant's post votes and post payout will not influence our decision; effort and original content will.
SHOUT OUT!!!
While I thoroughly enjoy Steemit, I have to say that my favorite posts are the ones I enter into challenges (to date I have one 3, yay for me)! Not only do you view your post pay outs and upvotes rise, but you wait in anticipation to see if you are a winner too, I love the thrill! I really enjoyed writing posts for these contests, but they also helped me learn the tricks of the trade on how to create my own contest/challenge. So, to give credit where credit is due I would like to thank:
- @karenmckersie - guest judge and founder of the Power of Positivity contest, known as #popcontest. You have such a lively presence and I have enjoyed being a guest judge for you!
- @steemiteducation - if you are a good writer I genuinely suggest you have a look at the requirements for their posts, the payouts are AMAZING!
- @eroche - the genius behind the #culturevulture monthly challenge. If you haven't entered, do so now! I think the prize pool is currently at 85 SBD! Share something about your culture, or a family tradition! @eroche, thank you for your guidance and help with this contest, I am very grateful for the time you set aside to explain a few things to me!
*** WIN 5 SBD PLUS ALL THE LIQUID STEEM GENERATED FROM THIS POST ***

My entry: Homebrewing - more than a plain hobby
https://steemit.com/hobbyhub/@imperfect-one/homebrewing-more-than-a-plain-hobby
Good luck ! Also upped and resteemed into my @momskitchen blog !! Even though its only a food a drinks blog , may be some people will have cooking as a hobby or something like it , like cake decorating or making beer as a hobby ! 💕😋👍
Ah that's awesome, thank you so much! Yes! There are so many hobbies that can be done in the kitchen! I gave sugar decorations a go once, but kinda flopped at it :) Thanks again!
Awesome ! And your welcome !❤✌👍
WOW! :)
Thank you for making this post and contest. :)
Not only do i find it interesting, but it made me learn new things here(i am pretty new here)
This forced me to find out how i can resteem posts.
Since i am so new here and it has been so many new things to try to learn, i have heard about it, but not tried to find out about it before.
And also i am very passionate about my hobby, so for that reason alone i also love it.
I dont have a mobile phone i can take pictures from now, but since this is not the first post in steemit where it have been poited out how much people here prefer that we use our own pictures, it kind of help pushing me to get a phone i can take my own pictures with, and when i first have done that, i will be happy for that too.. lol
Fortunatly i have some priv photos from my old phone i can use for the post i will make for this post, even if the quality of those pictures are not the best.. ;)
I have many interests and hobbies, but not time to do a deep diving in to all of them, so i will stay to my main hobby in this post.
woops, i see this start to become a wall of text now, so i shall save some for the contest post i am about to start making now.. lol
I hope those who read this will have a great day when they read this. :)
Looking forward to your entry @rezpatex, and if you can't get hold of some original pics just yet, no worries, just include some nice info and it will still be considered! I can't wait to find out what your main hobby is!
This is a great challenge. I know it will inspire people to write, and to engage with steemit and I look forward to seeing what people all over the world get up to in their spare time. 😀
Thanks @eroche, I am quite excited to learn about what people get up to in their spare time, especially those from different cultures and backgrounds.
