Unshackled minds - blurt contest ideas.

With facebook now actively trying to stop people posting words.


It gives blurt even more credibility. What fb is doing is as you write anything, the dialogue box disappears mid sentence and it states something went wrong, please try later. It does it over and over again. I guess they want to revert to a selfie site.

Anyway this brings me to blurt more often. And will others.

I am aiming to do 1 contest a day with prizes of blurt and here are some of the ideas.

  • A short story contest and or poetry in 1. (Maybe.)

  • Friday is the comedy contest day.

  • Sunday will remain funday.

  • A still photography contest black and white and color/colour. (Maybe.)

  • A short video contest. (Maybe.)

  • Wednesday is @blurtmusic music day with prizes.

So we need one more competition or contest to fill in the 7 days of contests and this is where you come in, what would you like it to be.???????

I will give 25 blurt for the best idea. It would help if this post was shared so more ideas come in. The winner will be in 7 days, reblurt me.

If my idea has maybe next to it, you are the deciding voters. So put a vote below.

If you like someone's Idea just state you agree next to the idea and the one with the most votes wins.

Why blurt?

I like it on here for the obvious reasons, no down votes, no arguments, no malice.
There is more though, on hive and steemit there has always been this large section of people who seemingly wake up just to keep posting about how great the sites are, for votes.

There is also so many posts about hive as a crypto or just cryto related posts that newcomers walk away as they are alienated.
Blurt it not like that in either way.

Blurt is more creative. So let us keep it that way.

I will offer up an idea for the remaining category/categories in either drawing or art but still leave the choice to you people, so if anyone states either of those two you can still win the 25 blurt as I have effectively just discounted them from my thoughts.

There are many categories I can think of but want it to be your choice.

Get your thinking cap on, get sharing this, get the ideas flowing, and let us party every day of the week every day of the year.

There are many talented people on here so let us shine a light on them and reward that talent with blurt.

So in summary we have an open 4 days to fill, you decide with what.

Have a superb weekend, you deserve it.

I dont fkbk, so is a genuine wtf!

i think pinterest started this no-words shit - i dislike pee too.

maybe they will have a sy=tock of slogans that users can trade.

I ran a nonsense contest some months ago - went well, but then many people suddenly realised how it wasnt easy at all! Most tried too hard, whereas great nonsense almost makes sense - look around ;-) we are inside dada.

Oh yes! Nonsense day! I remember writing nonsense - I'd try to not make sense at all, but when I read my blatherings over ( freewrote), it always made almost perfect sense.

haha - maybe I will re-run it on Blurt.
Seems like we have a few more asylum-seekers in here now ;-)

I hope you do! I'm in, if so.

It is easy enough to get past the censor, write in office word then copy and paste, facebook has no way to count the words then or cut you off.

The world is just one great big onion, and it is a good job we have no politicians on here, they would win your nonsense post hands down every time.

Goodness I wish I had thought of that! I was getting that message right and left just before I got off FB.

Yes they do not seem to want anyone communicating now.

Zapotage!

I only used fakebook when I wanted to sell things as there are no fees, but even that does not work on there now, so bye bye fakebook.

  ·  3 years ago  ·  

I don't use it at all, but have kept an account just coz way too many people still think it cool that their only webshite is a fakebook page!

Word copy-paste was always an esoteric function.
Easily the worst wordprocessor ever invented.

It seems there are lots of writers here so you could do a short story contest and a poetry contest …

I used to love the haiku contests on Steemit. And especially the Haikubot.

My kids even got into writing haikus

Agreed, I think the writing & poetry in 1 article could work well. I loved steemit at the start, but detested it by the end, same with hive.

  ·  3 years ago  ·  

Yeah … Steemit was great …. all the worst downvoters moved from Steemit to Hive. So Steemit is pretty good now. Ha ha ha ha ha

Definitely love the short story or poetry idea, although it can take me a week (or much more) to write a good short story or poem. Freewrite for a prompt?

Haiku contest. Good haiku is hard to write, and could have a day of its own, if you ask me.

Satire day. I wouldn't win, but I sure love reading the stuff.

Greetings friend, I think we should encourage the good and healthy, they should include a day of sports, in general, a walk, running, gym, yoga, it is wide and many people would enter wanting to participate, so one day a week sports lovers would participate, great idea, greetings.

I think, drawing deserves to be included in one of the contest categories. This is to support those who like painting and the like.

  ·  3 years ago  ·  

Yes indeed I will be doing one but calling it art as some people like to paint, some draw, some digital art, so yes, I will be doing the art one every week.
