Launching #SPUD4STEEM Event

Hello everyone!

Today I am very excited and going to host the wonderful contest #Spud4Steem as it was previously organized by kiwiscanfly, he run this contest for around 2 years and now I am going to start this again with his permission.

What is Spud4Steem?

Spud4Steem is the combination of different words and it stands for Steem power up day for STEEM. Previously each month this was held on the 1st of every month and the users made power ups on that day to participate in the Spud4Steem event. But before the start of the power up day the users had to confirm their participation. This was the major event and had juicy prizes as well with the help of the sponsors.

How it will work now?

Each 1st of each new month #spud4steem will happen. On this day all the steemians will be invited to join this event to promote STEEM and it will work for the growth of the STEEM. But all the users who want to participate in the #spud4steem event has to confirm their participation prior the event.

After the #spud4steem the power ups made by the participants will be checked and eligible participants will be filtered and then their steem power growth percentage will be calculated. The higher percentage growth participants will be the winners of the event and they will enjoy their winning rewards.

Rules and Guidelines to Participate

The rules and guidelines are copied from the previous experience of kiwiscanfly to avoid problems but if we see any problems and we need to change the rules and regulations then we will review them.

1. To be eligible for prizes Steemit users MUST NOT BE POWERING DOWN 7 days before the competition starts on the 1st day of the new month, remember this competition is about powering up and not powering down. Any prize winner who is found to be powering down while in possession of a delegated prize will have the delegation removed – checks are done 😊

2. The users must have more than 500 Steem power in their wallet before #spud4steem & no more than 20,000 Steem power. Delegated Steem power (in or out) does not count towards any % increase. The user has to maintain CSI of 5 or more.

3. Only personal accounts ( No Community Accounts) will be eligible for the prize pool. The participant users must have a reputation of over 40 & under 75 to be eligible for prize pool.

4. Participants must have at least 1 post before the 1st of the month talking about this contest & their intention of participating. A clear picture of their wallet showing account balances must be included before starting the contest. The tag #spud4steem must be used.

5. Power up must be done on the 1st day of each month in your countries TIME ZONE. One power up per account per #spud4steem day.

6. Your post on the 1st of the month must also show CLEAR screenshots of your wallet before & after power up, so that it is clear & easy to calculate the % increase of your powerup. Daily claimed rewards are not included in the calculation.

7. Steemit users who meet the above criteria also have to be active on Steemit and if the user is not an active user then he/she will not be eligible for the prize pool.

8. As this is all about powering up and boosting the accounts so the winners should not power down if they are caught powering down then the prizes will be removed from the accounts and it can also result in the temporary/permanent ban from participating in the event.

You can also buy STEEM from external exchanges and deposit in your Steemit wallet to participate in this event.

I have already prepared a step by step complete guide to buy STEEM from Binance exchange and deposit them to Steemit wallet.

Prize Pool

The current prize pool for the #spud4steem event is 21000 steem power and the sponsors for this prize pool are:

Sponsor	Prize
mohammadfaisal	2000 sp
kiwiscanfly	3000 sp
suboohi	2000 sp
afzalqamar	500 sp
sergeyk	1000 sp
abdullahw2	1,000 sp
willeusz	500 sp
fombae	1500 sp
uzma4882	500 sp
ngoenyi	2000 sp
edgargonzalez	2000 sp
jyoti-thelight	2000 sp
lirvic	3000 sp
disconnect	1 Steemit Lottery ticket for up to 5 winners

This steem power prize will be delegated to the winners of the event for the 21 days and after that it will be removed so that they can be then delegated to the other winners of the next month.

According to the current prize pool I am thinking to allocate this prize pool in the top 3 winners. But as the prize pool increases I will add more top positions like up to 5 top positions.

I am looking for the sponsors who can support this program and we can reward the winners with the huge prizes to motivate them and to support the power ups in the community. I invite all the previous sponsors who supported this program before to re-join the forces and make it more rewarding and successful.

I will especially invite the Steemit Team to sponsor this #spud4steem event to reward the winners with some upvotes. I hope the team will sponsor this event and I will add the prizes of upvotes in the prize pool along with other prizes.

After getting more sponsors I will finalize the total reward pool prior three days of the May #spud4steem event and the users will then confirm their entries in the event and I will track their entries on the #spud4steem event.

If anyone has any suggestions to make it more good and improve the working rules then I welcome all the suggestions.
