This is the second contest where I'm giving away a ticket to SteemFest. Our global conference for me was one of the most defining moments on this platform. @fatpandadesign won the last contest with @roxane, @karensuestudios and @acromott as the runner-ups.
Steemit is about giving and without people's generosity, none of this would have been possible. Do you know someone who has always been supporting your blog and bumped up your post by another couple of cents? Have they benefitted the community in any manner? Maybe they are a good friend, or maybe someone you met through Steemit!
As we all know, @steemfest 2 is coming up and some people are craving to join this great event but unfortunately do not have the sufficient funds to attend.
This is your chance to give something back to the community! I've been meaning to give something back to the person who has been always supportive of the Steemit community. Do you know someone who has been a great participant in the community or are you someone who deserves an amazing week in Lisbon during SteemFest?
Keep reading because I am sponsoring one SteemFest 2017 Minnow Ticket to the winner.
Minnow tickets currently cost as much as $264.40 or € 222.22 or about 296 SBD.

Hey @firepower! Thank you for this opportunity to send one of our own to Steemfest.
I can think of no better representative for the minnows of Steemit than the founder of @newsteem in our Editor In Chief - @inquiringtimes!
Please see my nomination post HERE which goes into much detail as to why I feel like he ought to be over there to report back to the rest of us on all the events that take place.
Thanks for your consideration! Have a wonderful day!
@inquiringtimes has my full and unconditional support and well deserves a chance to go to steemfest. I fully support this nomination!
And now I have to commit the funds from this comment to @inquiringtimes potential travel fund as well as the funds from the nomination post! Watch out inquiring, your hotel fund is growing. hahaha
Thanks for the vote of confidence in our friend! I really hope this works out for him!!
I'll send some SBD too. I'm prepared to put my SBD where my vote is. He'll need the financial support.
@inquiringtimes has my vote too for the reasons clearly articulated by other posters. But, for me personally: a paid research job well done, embodying a sense of personal improvement aligned with improving the world. Steemian minnows like @inquiringtimes are the future we need. That future needs to be at SteemFest.
Wow. This... all of this...
This is a great comment @eturnerx! I love it!
Truly creative work behind the scenes and always an inspiration!
Of course @inquiringtimes should go to Lisbon!
wish I would see you there!
I fully support this nomination!
thank you both for your support! I'm sure there are many more deserving candidates. However, if I get a ticket. You can guarantee I will be there, and step up my standards of excellence which this important event deserves!
I'll second or third that nomination!
We'll fourth it? Is that how yo say it?
@inquiringtimes has #thealliance support as well. He is extremely helpful to anyone willing and isn't afraid to ask for help. Model Steempeep.
I also agree to this and fully support the nomination of @inquiringtimes. He totally deserves this.
I support the nomination!
Excellent nomination, @inquiringtimes is definitely an up and comer on steemit and I think he would do some great reporting while there and bring back some wonderful insights that could really benefit the community!
If there is anyone who deserves this it's @inquiringtimes!
@inquiringtimes has my vote as well he forbthe reasons listed by others he puts so much of himself into this community
Thank you for this opportunity.
@firepower - I support the nomination of @inquiringtimes! too. Thanks

∞§∞TO SteemFinity and Beyond∞§∞
I nominate @LifeMovedBySteem.
She's risked it all for Steemit.
She quit her job folding laundry. She added all her savings.
She's scraping to make it as a full time urban homesteader.
We eat from our garden and I keep a side job.
Our hope is to never have to power down again.
She's on a mission to find happiness, not through money, but through adding to the world through nature, education, and love.
@Lifemovedbysteem would represent the creative homesteading community. Homesteading and gardening is a huge part of Steemit.
Her goal is to change people's paradigms and lives. She wants to show people with small areas how they can garden and find freedom with food.
@firepower, if you could see the smiles, dancing, and joy that jumps through our little home when Ren's posts do well you would be amazed.
Steemit represents freedom to live a full life. She's finally living her creative passion. This is huge. I know if she has a chance to share her vision it will change lives.
I haven't shown her this post, but she's talks about Steemfest a lot and dreams of going one year.
I think she should go now. She deserves it!
If @lifemovedbysteem wins the ticket, she will be at SteemFest. I can't imagine a more genuine, authentic, candidate.

Here's a link to full post:https://steemit.com/steemfest/@happymoneyman/steemfest-send-my-wife-to-steemfest-firepower-contest-2-entry
Thank you @firepower.
Steemit has been a huge positive shift in our life and we're working to give back to the community.
OMGSH! I hope she wins! Would see her! You should go to @happymoneyman you are such an awesome spirit too! :)
Awww thanks for your support @karensuestudios.
I have a prior engagement unfortunately.
I WILL be at next years event.
If Ren wins she will be so excited to meet you guys and hang out. ahhhhh. I wish I was going.
So nice of you to support. Congrats on winning your tickets too!
You guys are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
awww :) good luck!
Thank you so much @karensuestudios! I would love to attend with you, it would be an awesome way to meet :) Thank you for your support!
yes!!! We are teaching an acroyoga class there too :) eekk! you'll have to join us!
That sounds so fun! I would love to! It is the prettiest yoga to look at I think.
heheh :) So much fun!
@lifemovedbysteem would be an incredible asset to steemfest.
She is so full of energy and passion, not only for Steemit, but for the people here.
Her motivation is love of homesteading and being her own boss, supplying for the family needs through their own means. @lifemovedbysteem is a huge asset to this platform and would be a wonderful contributor at Steemfest, given the chance.
My entry: Why Will SteemFest Be Better Because Virtualgrowth Is There?
Using gif quill writing pen is awesome :D
Awesome contest bro i have no thats much money otherwise i will join. Sorry
just Chill and Keep Sharing Love !❤️
@immarojas for you?
Agree with you!
Thanks
@lifemovedbysteem would be an incredible asset to steemfest 2017!!
She is so full of energy and passion, not only for Steemit, but for the people here.
Her motivation is love of homesteading and being her own boss, supplying for the family needs through their own means. Go check her blog and you will be impressed by the creativity she possesses.
@lifemovedbysteem is a already a huge asset to this platform and would be a wonderful contributor at Steemfest in Lisbon!!
Thank you @firepower for this generous initiative!!
Awesome, I can't travel right now, but if I could I would love to enter.
I would like to nominate the one and only @rossenpavlov!
@firepower, please check the video post I created on the topic.
Here is a list of the reasons why I think that he deserves a reward for his hard work:
He felt the potential of steemit from the beginning. He never makes a compromise when it comes to original content and whatever he posts has great value. The topics he covers are related to the crypto world, the actual issues that occur in steemit, such as people who do not get that an upvote should be deserved with quality content, rather with "please follow and upvote me". Other topics are science, music, environment issues and more. He makes super funny memes, mostly related to steemit.
Thanks to him I realized that the potential in the platform is not in the income, but rather in the motivation to develop my potential to the fullest.
I think he deserves to visit the SteemFest, as apart from his hard work he will contribute even more when he gets back by sharing what he learned.
All the best!
Gabchik~
Good luck @rossenpavlov !
I support you.
Here is a link to the Facebook group - Steemit Bulgaria
I heard about it for the first time today from you @gabchik. Thanks.
I'll most likely skip this year's Steemfest but maybe will meet some of you at OpenFest...
btw. @rossenpavlov, what are your plans for SteemFest, are you going to join the hackaton ? Will you stay for the Websummit that starts at its end ?
Thanks for sharing about OpenFest. I think I will join it :)
You are welcome :) OpenFest is always fun.
Contest time again! I still lack funds for the ticket after gathering enough Steem for the travel and accommodation. I have written my contest entry several months ago. The only addition i would have now is that i have recently became member of @sndbox and I’m aiming to learn more about impactful crypto projects in real world, for I will strive to create one under the banner of @sndbox when my studies will be over.
May the best contender wins:).
@fingersik i'm agree
We're in the same situation, friend!
Just recently bought my plane ticket and airbnb with my SO. I do have hypothetically enough SP to power down for the ticket. As i feel going to Steemfest will worth the ROI of the the powered down Steem.
You gotta be there bro. We owe each other a frisbee match.
No worries buddy! I will make it work:)
Speaking about the airbnb, would there still be a place for me?:) (Also depends who SO is:D I have no idea)
SO = Significant Other, Me Amore
hahaha. If you dont mind couchsurfing. I may try to contact the host to see if he is okay with it.
I totally dont mind, thats why I asked. If you guys dont mind of course:)
Cool! I've contacted with my airbnb host. fingers crossed, hopefully we'll get updates soon.
This is an amazing oppurtunity
Great contest!!
Utopian.io, Rewards Open Source Contributors via Steem
https://utopian.io
Hello @firepower and thanks for this opportunity. It's been over a week now that I have presented Utopian to the Steemit community and already got positive feedbacks from relevant Steemit users.
What is Utopian
Utopian.io is a platform that gives everyone the possibility to create a Contributor Report.
A Contributor Report is a Steemit post that will automatically fall under the category "utopian-io", where you can write the latest contributions you made for an Open Source project, be voted and rewarded for that.
Contributions can be anything, from code development to graphic design, documentation, social engagement and more.
Utopian provides a way for anyone to be rewarded for collaborating on projects from which everyone will benefit immediately.
Utopian is the first and only platform that rewards Open Source contributors.
Utopian Adoption
There are already three Contributor Reports at the moment in Utopian and the first one got almost $250,00 in reward. The other 2 are still getting rewarded for more than $50,00 each as I write.
Utopian Third Contributor Report: Most popular websites on Steem: Analysis of the Steem Blockchain
Utopian Second Contributor Report: Utopian: The Begin of a New, Shared, Meritocratic Economy.
Utopian First Contributor Report and Intro Post: Utopian: My Contribution to the Open Source World.
I'll be happy to visit Lisbon
I am actually considering moving to Portugal and I was waiting for a chance to visit Lisbon for the first time. Well I hope Utopian will buy me a ticket for the SteemFest and the chance to finally go there!
I think @elear work on Utopian deserves to win. His work empowers programmers around the world to finally be rewarded for their open source contributions and bring a whole new audience to Steem platform! Complete Game changer!
Hey @firepower and what a great initiative!
Soooo.... I thought of making a post, but since I'm not nominating myself but someone else, I thought I'll stick to the comment! Plus, there was a post already...for which I'll talk below... ;)
I'm nominating @creutzy aka Broke Traveler!
First of all (no, no, not because he's my boyfriend haha) because ...he is a Broke Traveler as his nickname says! Difficult times for artists! We did a fundraising post months ago to make it to Lisbon (in exchange of free portraits to all Steemians there who would want to!) but it didn't go well...
Then, the offer is still on the table: We are photographers, we will take everyone's portraits!! :D
@creutzy is an amazingly creative guy - he's the one who introduced me to Steemit, that's why I don't want to do this nomination for myself, it doesn't feel fair...it belongs to him!
Crypto enthusiast and incredible photographer, I think he totally deserves this! He is new here, but he managed to build up a nice rep and an audience of almost 1000 followers since May - I admire him for that!
And therefore, I hope he wins! (ok ok, also because I'm the girlfriend I'll join as well - we went to Lisbon once but only for 24 hours...we loved so we can't wait to meet all of our fellow Steemiaaaans!!!!)
Fingers crossed and a bit of...fire power! ;)
What a great move, Meghan! You rock!!!
Can't wait to have a beer with you in Lisbon :-)
0.01% shot in the dark probability of having me on the beer table with you guys? 😜😜
I've recently bought a ticket and airbnb to get a place in Lisbon (can't afford hotel this year, perhaps next steemfest?)
The only hurdle i face now is getting the actual steemfest ticket itself. Not sure what i can offer to the Steem community other than my disposition to smile 24 hours a day.
Hope to see you there Marly!
Here's one way to get a Steemfest conference ticket! :-) The amazing @firepower is giving away one of the highly demanded tickets FOR FREE https://steemit.com/steemfest/@firepower/contest-2-win-a-free-ticket-to-steemfest-2017-at-lisbon
Hope to see you there, too!!!
I'll give it a shot! Though i can already see there are many other Steemians who are more deserving than me for the things they have already contributed to the Steem Community.
Regardless, I'm heading there one way or another come hell or highwater!
See you there!!
So your nickname doesn't mean that you're awesome...? ;) Give it a shot!!! My fingers are crossed!
Great contest! I no have much money otherwise i will join. Sorry
@firework Bundle of thanks for creating such a wonderful opportunity Contest #2—Win a Free Ticket to SteemFest 2017 at Lisbon!
My contribution for the community is i have joined Steemit.com on 16th june 2017. After joining i was trying hard to introduce this wonderful platform with others. I have planted soe trees on Steemit which are developing very fast i want to share those names @engramanullah @hmushtaq @ayeshairfan @adnanmajeed @abrarahmed and very soon i will add some more names here.
sir i am a native steemian please ignored my English grammer mistakes.
@firepower i also want to mention some names which are helping minnows and community @indesta120282 @dwinblood @mrs.steemit @lichtblick
@hilarski @ilyastarar @soundlegion @scandinavianlife @djohan !
I don't deserve to win anything. But I did resteem and upvote your post here.
dear @tonygreene113 why do you think you do not deserve to win anything ?
I am the world's worst luck person.
We could have a lengthy healthy debate on this...
Next time vote for me lol
Wow! I am Portuguese, currently living in Norway. I found out about Steem a few weeks ago and had to join.. sounded too good to be true, i had to check it out!! And here i am..in a great place where you can be creative and get some good feedback. I might say it is a place where great minds think alike. Eheheh so far i am loving it. And now i found out that my homecountry is hosting a steem fest.. and i am perplexed that none of my friends back home never mentioned to me that they knew about this... 🤣
Irony. I am English living near Tomar today, but due to start work in Lisboa next week. Unfortunately the ticket price is just a wee bit pricey but might hang out near the event...
ehehe you got yourself a new follower just because of that :)
I won't be able to join the contest because I can't afford to travel.. but I wish to join any steemfest in the future.. the ticket price is almost like my monthly allowance :) very expensive
STEEMFEST... sounds to good to be true; count me in!!
First of the bat, I would like to say thank you to everyone who is organizing these contests. They might give me a shot to attend Steemfest!
I think you can find all relevant information on my entry in my post: https://steemit.com/steemfest/@martibis/steemfest-here-i-come
TL:DR: I came into steemit, fell in love with the community, created Steemit Worldmap, saw a post hitchhiking to Steemfest, I'm joining up on the hitchhiking adventure and hopefully for Steemfest itself too!
