Challenge Rules

New Rule: Community Commitment & Reward Eligibility

To ensure the long-term sustainability and growth of the Hive ecosystem, we will evaluate the long-term commitment of participants when selecting winners. Specifically, we will review past rewards earned and currently held Hive Power (HP) as part of the selection process.

Participants who demonstrate an investor mindset by holding and growing their HP are more likely to be rewarded. Those who consistently extract all rewards without reinvesting into the ecosystem may not be eligible for prizes.

This rule aims to celebrate and encourage commitment to the Hive blockchain, fostering a strong and engaged community.

✅ High-Quality Post Requirement
All submissions must be high-quality and contain a minimum of 600 words. Well-thought-out content with structure, clarity, and originality is key. Include relevant details, examples, formatting, and visuals to elevate your post and provide value to readers.

Submission Deadline: The deadline for submissions is 3 days before the post pays out. This is to ensure that our curators have enough time to review all the entries before the next challenge is posted. Your punctuality is appreciated!

Formatting Help: Need help formatting your post? Check out this ULTIMATE MARKDOWN TUTORIAL.

Tagging: Don't forget to tag your post with #splinterlands and #play2earn to ensure it's part of the challenge.

Share on Social Media: Share your post on any social media site of your choice. Make sure to include links to both your HIVE post and the social media site you shared it on in the comment section of the challenge post.

What you earn: UPVOTES! Participants who follow ALL the rules will receive upvotes from the @steemmonsters account.

Voting Quantity: You can get a MAXIMUM of 2 upvotes per week, per human. Please limit your entries to TWO posts a week. Take your time, make your posts awesome, and impress us with your Splinterlands skills!

Fair Play: Anyone found using more than one account to enter the contest will be muted in the community and banned from all curation and the possibility for participation in future contests.

Please note: Upvotes are not guaranteed and are up to the curator's discretion.

Manual Curation

Splinterlands/steemmonsters is all about community engagement, and that's why we're manually curating (upvoting) your posts! We have an amazing team of community curators, and official team members also have the 'powers' to upvote! We work together to try to upvote in order of entry. Sometimes we get a couple of days behind, just so we can let the VP heal in order to give larger upvote values. So, make sure you drop your links within a day or two of posting so we can get to it.

_{^{Curators are rewarded with higher upvotes on their posts and are allowed up to three per week, rather than two. This is our way of saying "Thank you!"}}
