RE: SteemCamp Nigeria Promo-Steem (Week 1)
The Grand Finale
This is going to be a seven days camp event which will be focused on developing the skills and talent of qualified steemians/contestant.
They will be taught by people who are professionals in their field of study and other workshops will be held( how to use dlive and dtube, how to effectively make a good post/video/sound, how to organize and tell people about steem platform and lots more)
They will all be judged in their final steemit post content - Contestants will publish a post and video on how they plan to decentralize their local environment with the help of steem)
At the last day of the event, there will be a final challenge on stage for both categories, which there will be a live audience vote at the event and also on steem platform.
These whole activities will help promote steem, bring communities and individuals together and also discover young individuals who will positively contribute to steem ecosystem and also offline
Stretch Goals
The main purpose of the event will be achieved after getting the winners of this two main contest.
Miss Steem Nigeria Pageant winner will be given the privilege as a ceremonial queen to organize a pet-project which will help grow her offline community. E.g. Taking children back to school scholarship, Providing educational materials for schools, helping the less privileged, women empowerment/skill acquisition programme e.t.c
While the One Steem Stage winners will publicise steem through entertainment
Extra funds will be channeled to Any of these projects which will need funds to finance it.
Challenges
When the steem price was high, I was offered sponsorship for this event and I was asked not to write any budget publicly or make any crowdfunded post because they were going to give me everything I needed for the event. But now the price of steem went extremely low, they automatically backed out and give reasons for not sponsoring(low price of steem)
I was able to get back half of our budget expenditure for the first football tournament via post-payout reward.
I am currently powering down my steem to pay for the basic things I need for the six states Audition/meetup in Nigeria.
This is challenging because I cannot effectively go offline to publicize this event due to low funds. I am happy that we are having a good response from the public but might go bankrupt if we do not get adequate support from steem community.
keep up with the good work guys.
