I am pleased to announce DeFi Campus inaugural writing contest in collaboration and sponsored by the Project HOPE and HODL communities! Without further ado, let me jump into the details.
Contest Topic
Write a post of at least 350 words with the following topic,
What is DeFi and how is it different from traditional finance?
A few ideas to get you started,
- Read some of the older posts in DeFi Campus.
- Head over to DeFi Prime, take a look a few projects and understand what problems they are trying to solve.
- Share some of your DeFi experience if any.
Entry Submission Date and Rules
Your entry must:
- Be submitted between 20th June 2020, 11AM and 24th June 2020, 11AM (Singapore Time, UTC+8);
- Contain the #defi-campus-contest and #defi tag;
- Be posted to either DeFi Campus OR Project HOPE OR HODL community;
- Be at least 350 words (only content body will be counted);
- Be reasonably original (no plagiarism).
You can leave a comment here with your entry to help us find your post.
Judges and Judging Criteria
@vlemon and myself (@culgin) will be the judges for this contest. We will be judging based on the following criteria:
- Originality
- Fluency
- Ability to grasp/convey the idea of DeFi
- Bonus: Active participation by commenting and supporting (rehive & voting for) other entries
Prizes and Rewards
Liquid HIVE rewards:
- 1st place = 15 HIVE
- 2nd place = 10 HIVE
- 3rd place = 5 HIVE
In addition, top 3 entries will also receive full upvotes from Project HOPE and HODL with a total worth of approximately $5 - $10 (which should translate to about 10 - 20 HIVE of author rewards)!
Participation rewards:
- First 30 entries that are submitted (chronologically) will be rewarded with 1 HIVE each
- If there are less than 30 entries in total, Hivers who re-hive this contest post will get a chance to win 1 HIVE through a random lucky draw.
Leave a comment to this announcement post if you have any further questions. Thanks and I look forward to your participation 😁
5% of post rewards goes to @peakd to support this amazing project and the remaining goes to @defi.campus to support the community.
