Hello everyone,

It’s Stach-dsw Tuesday again and we turn double digits today.Hurray, we are officially 10 weeks old and as always we are counting down till 8 pm for our show.

Last week was epic, as we saw entries that contained real emotions. It was a sad time as entries contained a form of acceptance for the sad things the users have been through. Then again, acceptance is the first step to getting better. This week we are looking at turning our frown upside down and move on out of the dark tunnel into the light...

How it works.

For those who are just finding out, this contest is quite simple. Every week a post would be dropped containing the theme of the contest. Participants are to come up with a poem or a short story/prose using this theme. Then during the show, contestants are to introduce themselves, tell us what the theme means to them and share your entry on voice.

Yes!!! You have to read it for us to hear.

Note that you are not allowed to post this your entry for the contest until after the show, and Stach-dsw and Stach have to be your first and second tag respectively when posting it.

Prompt for this week is ‘I Choose to be Happy’

I encourage you to watch the video below. It’s a spoken word video on the topic. I’m sure it would inspire you too to come up with your entries for today.

How to participate/Rules to Adhere too.

Participation is quite simple, just follow these few steps.

• Resteem this post before 8 pm (Compulsory for your entry to be eligible to win)
• Get your entry ready
• Join us on STACH Discord.
• Be there at 8 pm Nigerian time that is GMT + 1
• Head over to Stach-Radio-Dashboard and Stach Radio for voice, and indicate if you would be contesting.
• It will be a voice and text session so do well to mute your mic and be ready to contribute intelligently.
• Entries must relate to the theme to be considered
• Users who wish to contest are to indicate their interest to participate before 8.10pm gmt+1 and be on voice before this time
• Winners would be determined by votes from the audience, therefore as this is a spoken word show, you must stay on voice for every participant for your vote to count.

Please Note that-

• Your rendition of your words on voice has the most rating, so try and get a stable internet connection if you have your eyes on the grand prize
• Also, I have my own score sheet and I have it within my rights to nullify an undeserving winner (i.e. if the voters weren't on voice or the vote is based on sentiments, not delivery/quality)

Prizes.

The reward pool for this week is 25 steem and would be shared amongst winners and participant, thanks to our generous sponsor @surfyogi.

I will be your host alongside my co-host @julietisrael. See you there
