How to Join:
This is my first contest ever, I am relatively new here but wanted to spread the wealth a little. I could do with a little bit of shameless self-promotion, so to enter:

• Follow me.
• Upvote this post.
• Resteem this post so more red fishes will know and join.

Please tag the post with #talking16, so that I can identify the posts easily, and please make sure to leave a comment below with a link to your post (Preferably the busy.org link)

Write a post about what you would tell your 16-year-old self, feel free to include reasons, stories, photos, videos or any other media of your choice. You can display it in any way you feel suitable. The decision of the highest scorers lies with the judge and her decision is final.

NOTE: If there is less than 10 Entries, prizes will be halved
NOTE: If there are less than 5 Entries, There will be no third place and prizes will still be halved
NOTE If there is only one entry, the one entry will win a top prize of 1.5SBD (Half)

There may be bonus prizes, but these will be decided by me on payout day!

The Judge: The judge will be my steemit-best-friend, @mermaidvampire, who also inspired me to make this!

Criteria for Judging: Overall, if the instructions above are followed, the clarity of the author in presenting his or her piece and added to that is the impact of the photo to what he/she is trying to present.

Why am I making this contest?
Primarily, I want to help my fellow red fishes. I want to encourage them to think about what they would wish to improve. I want new Steemians to be able to make a post that is simply focused on one thing and not all over the place. I want them to see how their presentation impacts performance. Basically, it's all about the basics, as we are all starting out, and even if you don't win, you should be able to take some ideas of how to present your post effectively, because no-one is perfect. I want the contestants to make a minimalist post with a strong message. I want them to dig inside them and reflect on their experiences so that I can potentially use them for self-improvement, since I am currently 16! I believe Steemit is all about connecting with ourselves and others.This is my way of doing it. Let's allow ourselves and others use these for their own self-improvement. This is my first contest and I hope the new steemians will get something out of it!

Tip for Newbies: Joining contests is one of the best ways to earn in Steemit. I know it's kinda common sense but we can overlook that sometimes. Please support this contest and may you all make contests for our fellow red fishes, too, in the future. Keep Steemin'
