Introduction
We, the SteemAlive Community post few weeks ago, we promised to host weekly contests so as to keep our new recruits and old members active and retained. We have been making plans to keep to our word and now, our very first contest is here - My Root.
The Contest
My root is a journey of family discovery. We have made friends here on Steemit and we love them so much. However, chances are that we do not know much about our Steemit friends family background. It is true that some of us mentioned a few things about our family in our introduction posts, but it was not as detailed or family-focused as we would have loved it. So My Roots will help us say much more about our lovely families.
How to participate
Write a post of at least 300 characters about your family. Make it fun and write as much as you would like us to know your family. But the more detailed, the better. We may add a prize at will to the most detailed stories. Everyone is free to join this contest.
Hints on What to write
- Your family makeup.
- Where they live
- What each family member does now.
- What makes each member unique and special to you.
- How a family member has impacted on you positively
- Something special that happened to your family
- Any other interesting thing about your family, be creative.
The rules
- Write about at least 3 Family members. But it would be best to write about all.
- Include a clear group photograph or individual photographs of at least 3 family members. Again its best to have all represented.
- Your post MUST be submitted to our SteemAlive Community</centerqFr5)

Thank you sir. I'll do well to join in. This contest could also double as an introductory post and an entry.

Thank you @beckie96830. We are happy to have you as part of our team. Looking forward to your story as we don't know much about your family.
Yeah we are actually working hard to keep to our word. @steemalive community is set and ready for this contest. I can't wait for this contest to kick off. Reading about the family stories and seeing the family members of fellow steemians. It's going to be amazing.
I am 100% ready for this contest.

@stephenkendal Alright. We will surely do that.
I really like what you do on Steemit @stephenkendal
Is there any way I could reach out to you? Perhaps we could find ways of collaborating and supporting each others efforts.
Do you use discord by any chance?
Yours, Piotr
Thanks.
Sounds great.
I am always looking out for projects and ideas that help to promote #Steem and are always here on #Steemit.
Happy to chat openly on #Steemit about ways we could help support each other.
Stephen
Dear @stephenkendal
We clearly have similar views.
ehm. Communicating via comments is very limited. Plus I value privacy.
Perhaps you could consider joining our project.hope community discord server. I would gladly welcome you:

Dear @steemalive
Thanks for sharing link to this publication with me @focusnow. It's not my kind of topic (I never paid much attention to my family history), however I think others may find it interesting. For that reason - I resteemed it already.
What kind of support would you hope to receive. An upvote? No problem. I also resteemed your post. Anything else I could do?
I could allocate few upvotes for best entries (in case if you would be launching new contest in the future).
Yours, Piotr
You have been so supportive of our efforts even when it's not your kind of thing. That shows your extraordinary kindness. Thank you so much. Yes, we will appreciate your kind votes on the best entries of this or future contests. We are amazed to receive this jumbo support from you. Our community appreciates you that you do and wishes you the very best of life.
