Write a post about what you would tell your 16-year-old self, feel free to include reasons, stories, photos, videos or any other media of your choice. You can display it in any way you feel suitable. The decision of the highest scorers lies with the judge and her decision is final.

There may be bonus prizes, but these will be decided by me on payout day!
The Judge: The judge will be my steemit-best-friend, @mermaidvampire, who also inspired me to make this!
Criteria for Judging: Overall, if the instructions above are followed, the clarity of the author in presenting his or her piece and added to that is the impact of the photo to what he/she is trying to present.
Why am I making this contest?
Primarily, I want to help my fellow red fishes. I want to encourage them to think about what they would wish to improve. I want new Steemians to be able to make a post that is simply focused on one thing and not all over the place. I want them to see how their presentation impacts performance. Basically, it's all about the basics, as we are all starting out, and even if you don't win, you should be able to take some ideas of how to present your post effectively, because no-one is perfect. I want the contestants to make a minimalist post with a strong message. I want them to dig inside them and reflect on their experiences so that I can potentially use them for self-improvement, since I am currently 16! I believe Steemit is all about connecting with ourselves and others.This is my way of doing it. Let's allow ourselves and others use these for their own self-improvement. This is my first contest and I hope the new steemians will get something out of it!
Tip for Newbies: Joining contests is one of the best ways to earn in Steemit. I know it's kinda common sense but we can overlook that sometimes. Please support this contest and may you all make contests for our fellow red fishes, too, in the future. Keep Steemin'

Ty for the support!
Have a nice day!
@moneyinfant has added your contest to the list Steemit Writing Contests: Issue #46. The list is updated on a daily basis and your contest will remain on the list until its expiration - there's nothing you need to do.
The list was created to save writers the excessive amount of time spent searching through the #contest tag for writing contests. Now they can just come to the list each day, see new contests and use their time doing what they love - writing.
If you'd like to help spread the word about the Steemit Writing Contest List I'd really appreciate a resteem, but it certainly isn't necessary. The project is simply meant to help writers save time and contest creators attract more contestants.
P.S. If you know of any contests I've missed I'd love to hear about them. Thanks!
Congratulations @cadawg on reaching 520 followers!
I wish you continued success!
Remember high quality articles are they key to continued success and getting even more followers!
Introbot is hosted and managed with donations from @byColeman to help make your journey on Steemit be truly rewarding.
I have followed and upvoted you.
Thank you! It really means a lot to hear this!
