That's some awesome advice thank you so much! In regards to the selfie challenge, sure! It may be more difficult for someone to get a funny selfie with a mask, though.. I am totally open to that!
What you said that really made a spark go off in my brain though is.. I really wanted to make a way to have a level system where people could level up, but I wasn't quite sure how.. And I think thanks to your comment I may have just figured it out!! Awesome! And yes.. This may make me want to lower the initial prize to make it more of a "build up" to bigger prizes later.. BUT.. Regardless of that.. I definitely think i want to try to add an element of leveling up somehow! That would make it a lot more personable and customized! Sweet! Thanks so much! I gave you my highest amount of upvote I could even though I'm trying to recharge right now, just because your idea was so important to me!
This is awesome.. This just entered a whole new level of awesome! I still need to figure out the details more.. But you got the gears turning! Cheers bashadow!
PS Also I like your last idea in regards to payouts as well, I will consider that.. It may be more difficult that way in terms of keeping track of everything.. Though definitely something to ponder and think about for a while!
You are welcome, and as for the big upvote, thanks but really was not needed. a $0.050 would have been just fine or no vote just fine also, just trying to help. You are getting ready to do something big for the users of steemit, I think that is a worthy goal.
I appreciate your humbleness though I would like to award you the full upvote. I feel like you helped inspire me to make this whole competition a lot more fun! And yeah.. It's definitely a goal I feel passionate about.. I hope it works out and that steemit is still going good in a couple years and I'm still doing this challenge years from now. :)
