❗PRIZE❗
🔝I am again giving 50% of this post's SBD after it pays out in 7 days.
The 3 entries having most upvotes not as a value but as a count of people who have upvoted them will equally share the PRIZE. Please do not beg others for upvotes and play fair.
🔝 If there are posts with equal upvote count they will again split their share. So it is very possible to have more than 3 winners.
ANY SUPPORT from WHALES 🐋 or DOLPHINS 🐬 to grow the contest’s prize pool would be much appreciated.
😁 This contest idea is not only posting and winning some rewards but building a stronger community connections by presenting some valuable information to each other. Shall we learn some new facts? Let's get started posting! 😁

Thank you. Just dropped a comment under your post. :)
I have a suggestion, in the case of @hoosain and @josephlacsamana (myself) we are the Highest number of upvotes. We should have the highest prize even though we have the same upvotes.
Or you can change your rules, do not base on the number of upvotes. That's why a lot of minnows not joining in your contest because they know they're not famous to received 10 + upvotes.
Just a suggestion...
Thank you!
I know you've got a point my friend. And I am thinking how to change the rules. When I was starting the contest I didn't want to judge the posts myself and to pick them by once I like the most caus I didn't feel that is right. Thinking of finding some guest judges maybe or setting up some criteria for winning.
I will appreciate if you have any suggestions to share with me and I would defiantly consider them and change the rules.
Sorry for a late reply/response.
Maybe you need to specify a curios facts "ABOUT": a certain place, event, person, country, nature etc.
Minimum Fact 1 Maximum facts 3 per person.
for example.
Curious Facts about the Philippines #1
Rules
Give at least 1 fact maximum of 3 facts per person.
and you need to have a judge/s to choose the winner.
You can be that judge. or if you don't want to be a judge you can use a name picker :)
Random picker :D Hehehe.
so that all of minnows can join your contest :) no need to have big number of upvotes!
I am really considering your suggestions. Thank you so much for your support. Next contest definitely will follow some of your guidelines. :)
Thank you :) When is your next contest?
Probably I will make a new one on this Sunday if I have enough time reconsider the rules and structure them well. 😊
God bless you @river-island :)
