Win a Free Trip to Lisbon, Portugal to Attend SteemFest II
First winner selected and second chance giveaway.
To celebrate the success of Steemit HardFork 19, I am sending someone to Lisbon, Portugal to attend SteemFest II
Just post why you want to go to SteemFest II in the comments section. And I will select a Jury of witnesses to choose one winner to receive 1000 SBD by the end of this week to help with Transportation and Hotel stay.
Submit only one entry comment and write as much as you want. Multiple entries from the same person will be disqualified.
Good Luck to all of you, and may the best entry win.
- I will not participate in the selection, so address your entry to the Steemit community
Wow. I was planning on writing to you later actually, you have been on my mind again today.
Well as you know, I was run over by a car and basically disabled -- and due to my activism the state is burying my file. Presumably due to my very public activism against state related police/political corruption.
The police and hospital and politicians are interfering/ignoring me, in this and it is ruining me and they know what that they are doing.
I have just recently started being able to actually get out of the house and around (with help) and Steemfest is only a dream for me, physically and $$ wise so this post lifted my spirits.
Just to have a chance for a guy that does not travel or cannot do much these days -- is nice.
You are a good whale my friend. Us 99 %'ers need people like you on our side.
Thank you.

great
Amazing story! I truly hope all goes well with your medical file and that you do get to go to Steemfest one day! Good luck!! =]
Well that is very kind of you to say!
Thanks very much for the encouragement, we all need it some days.
Would love to know what happens. I would like to say the usual "if there is anything I can do...", but to be honest I don't think there is much I could do. Police/political corruption in America is quite out of my field of expertise. =]
wow
Looking forward to meeting you, Barry! I hope it will be at Steemfest 2--won't that be awesome???
My friend, it would be a great story indeed Miss Sara.

Hey, man! Looks like we'll be seeing eachother at SF2! niceeeee congrats!
Awesome, thank you for the opportunity! One of my favorite things about Steemfest is the outpouring of generosity in bringing the community together 💛
I was blessed to attend Steemfest the First in Amsterdam, and I'm sure almost everyone in attendance would agree that it was one of the best weekends in all of life! I want to see how @roelandp tops his incredible self with Steemfest 2 in Lisbon. I also want to share my wealth of yoga knowledge with everyone who wants to play or needs relief of any kind!!!
I want to attend Steemfest 2 with my travel buddy @everlove and (hopefully!) @quinneaker. @everlove has already been generously gifted a plane ticket by @theprophet0, @aggroed, and @steemfestdreams. I will do everything I can to get there as well while keeping my expenses as low as possible.
I live in the most sustainable ecovillage I know about, the @gardenofeden, because it is the most righteous cause I have found thus far in life. I don't shop at stores, go to movies, eat at restaurants, or go on trips; instead, I dedicated all my resources towards helping others through our outreach. I witness the living example of how much can be accomplished, how many lives can be profoundly changed, how deeply the Earth can be affected when we work together, so I choose to donate my time, energy, and wicked money making skillz to the @gardenofeden.
I would be so thankful to the Steemit community for sending me to Steemfest 2! By keeping my costs as low as possible for this pilgrimage, more people are served as I will have more to direct towards helping others!
We feed tens of thousands of free meals a year, save hundreds of thousands of pounds of trash from the landfill, house hundreds of people who need a real chance at life, and offer hope to people across the world that a better way is possible! It is amazing and satisfying to be part of conscious evolution!!! We exist to inspire, and I want to bring the real life example of our epic success to the powerful community at Steemfest 2. We are all blazing trails in the revolution!!
It sounds like you have experience with the last Steemfest and know what to expect, and could possibly get the most out of the trip along with your travel buddies.
On a side note it would be great if you could blog about the experience and even share a post on your last one. Voted!
my grandpa was born in Amsterdam and I am American in Vietnam
Miss Sara --- you have done such great things and been so nice to all of us here for so long....
I won this trip and that is a miracle for me.
But @joseph is having a round 2 winner now on top!!! Check his post from today!!
Hooray for miracles!!!! You too have been such an excellent supporter, it's great that you are getting the opportunity to be part of Steemfest! Thank you for the heads up, that's very thoughtful of you~*~
It is NP. I mentioned it to a couple people here, we can do more together I always figure.
(:
You are welcome Miss Sara.
Simply put, I want to go to Steemfest because I'm in crypto from 2013 and never met someone who is as passionate as I am. It would be great to meet people in person an share great excitement about Steem.
I would love to cover this event and do it justice by providing the solid kind of coverage it deserves! This is what I do at Press For Truth and those who are familiar with my work can and will hopefully vouch for me! By sending me everyone will receive something in return because I'll be working my butt off to produce videos, interviews, live coverage on Youtube, twitter updates and anything else I can get while there! Thank you Joseph for this opportunity, I hope the Steemit community will get behind me so PFT can do it up right!
If it were up to me, you would be given a ticket @pressfortruth. You (Dan) are the whole reason that MANY of us joined Steemit 10 months ago. I watched your video and as soon as I was finished, I made a Steemit account. Pretty much left FB instantly and haven't looked back.
I have been following your YouTube channel for years and I can attest to how hard you have worked to bring the truth about world issues to the people.
Thank you for helping me to change my life. You get 100% of my voting power. ;)
fantastic
I won the trip to Portugal for SteemFest 2!! -- thanks for your support everyone!
Wow
I am glad to see more people joining in crowdfunding trips to SteemFest this year. Now that some people with real stake are starting to do it, my little campaign feels kinda silly.
Well done. In one post, you have gotten more support than I have been able to raise in several posts this SteemFest and last years. I started the @steemfestdreams account last year and have never made any reward myself except of course followers that I have gained.
All of the rewards that my posts raised have gone into making dreams come true for Steemians. We bought a few tickets and made a few donations but never as big as 1000 SBD!
I really want to go SteemFest this year
I am planning on making it to Portugal, but at this point I have not figured out how to fund my trip. I have raised funds for others but not for myself and I am taking care of my father who is very sick and close to the end. So I am not sure how everything will play out.
The STEEM that I have earned over the past 10 months is now worth more money than I have ever had in my life. I don't quite feel right asking to win this contest if it can go to a more deserving person who needs more assistance. If I have to, I could use some of my STEEM to get there. It's kind of a difficult decision though as that is my life savings at this point and I want to continue to grow it.
If you have read of all of this, thank you for taking the time to listen. Today has been a stressful day and it helped to just type all this out. Thank you
Karma is on your side @richardcrill --I'm sure you will be supported as you have so generously supported others!!! Blessings~*~
Thank you @saramiller
You're welcome. You're a great Steemian!!
You simply must go to SteemFest this year @richardcrill. Steemit needs access to your mind. :)
Awe, you're too kind Rebecca
my brother's name is Richard: hope you win, Rick: I'm Dutch
Thanks Joe!
Richard, you have done such great things and been so nice to all of us here for so long....
I won this trip and that is a miracle for me.
But @joseph is having a round 2 winner now on top!!! Check his post from today!!
did you see my entry !? Haha im hoping to be your travel companion ! LOL !👍👍👍😂😂😂
Dear Steemit community,
I could not attend last year's Steemfest but made a promise to myself that I would make the next Steemfest come hell or high water.
You may know me as the host of Steemit Open Mic, a weekly, live music venue contest in its 38th week now and sponsored by @pfunk. We give 300 steem each week to Steemit musicians who enter the contest and it is growing bigger each week.
So why should you choose to send me to Steemfest?
I will pay it forward and if selected I will help send one musician from Open Mic to Steemfest too. I'll match the offer made in this post to help someone else go to Steemfrst this year.
If possible and the organizers allow, we, meaning me and the other selected musician, will play some songs at Steemfest.
I will post about the whole experience and make sure everyone knows the story of how we got to Steemfest.
I will be forever grateful.
So, if you select me you're really sending 2 people to Steemfest. If your $1000 SBD contribution became $2000 that would have more of an impact and makes for a great story for the Steemit community.
Please consider choosing to help send me to Steemfest this year and let's get this party started!
Thumbs up for your generosity.
This is a great idea.
I have been blogging here on Steemit since last year, when I was turned on to the platform by a video created by @piedpiper.
I don't really want to "advertise" myself, but Steem has been a "dream come true" for me in that, as someone who has always written and created content, payout or not, I am finally paid for my ideas, which is what I am truly passionate about--ideas--and the efforts I make of my own self-interest to make the world a more voluntary place.
Right after I started Steem I had to leave my job,
and Steemit.com helped me to pay my bills for about a month and a half of unemployment. This was absolutely unreal to me, but real all the same, because I always felt that what I had to say had value to someone. First and foremost to me, as without expression I do not know how I could survive and thrive, and secondly to the neat folks who have resonated with what I say over the years and supported this self-expression.
You can read my introductory post here, and all about how I lost my old "job" here.
It is my hope, dream, and now practical goal to turn "Steeming" into a lifestyle, and going to this event in Lisbon would mean the world to me.
Thank you.

You deserve to go. It would be great if you won!

@shanzaylizay
Wait a sec... these are spam posts @shanzaylizay ... Such a shame. I'd really re-evaluate what you're doing here on Steemit if you'll be sending the same bullshit comments (if you just look through the thread and comment history) :/
no today my rite hand is injured that y that happen today i comment the same but i always remain it touch on steemit i know its wrong i aplogize but today it was my mistake due to my hand injury, hope that u understand
get well soon
thanks for your care
may your dreams continue to happen and come true with flying colors in a blaze of glory and honor and all that jazz and fly me to the moon
I missed SteemFest last year due to medical thing but I believe I am in better health now to come and meet you guys. I will most likely keep engagement going offline as well since I enjoy good debates. I will also be bringing my g/f so if I win I will share the winnings with her.
haha dude you earn enough to buy your own ticket ;)
I will bring another person with me. maybe two :)
I couln't affort to go to SteemFest last year, but I wanted to very badly... I been posting almost everyday since august 2016 and I just love the community...
I have done Steem promotion in the streets of Copenhagen and I tell people about Steemit on a daily basis...
I am planning to do more videos for my posts in the near future, might try to do some videos with local people and see their reaction to hearing about Steemit.
fantastic
