Invitation To All Steemit Members To Join, Contribute, Compete and Win the 1st CCpost Contest

^{Image 01}

Although I believe this contest might be most helpful to new Steemit members to learn how to post correctly according to the Steemit community rules, it's open for everyone who is willing to participate.

I also believe it would be worthy and rewarding for all the participants who will follow the rules which are deeply thought through and I hope pretty well designed. In other words, as long as you follow the contest rules, there are no losers but only bigger and smaller winners.

All of you, who have already come across one of my previous posts, would very likely guess what about this contest is going to be.

The contest is created around one of captcha phrases that I hold in my captcha phrases collection.

For this first CCpost contest the title and the topic around which you are going to create your content is "Unlimited Wishes."
