Are You Aware? | The Fun-2-Do and Fun-2-Earn Things on Hive
Hive | Introduction
Alright, don’t expect me to speak about Splinterlands or numerous other games on the Hive blockchain. These are runaway successes, and if you don’t know about it, my sympathies.
In this post, I would like to focus on writers and authors and, therefore, cover three opportunities on the Hive blockchain as we speak. Few of them are time-bound, while the others will run for some time into the future and occur periodically. What am I talking about?
I am talking about opportunities that authors on Hive or, for that matter, authors/writers from other platforms can join to participate. If you are not already on Hive, you can join Hive here.
Now that we know what we are discussing let’s jump in.
CTP Content | Check out the CTP Channel on Hive
The CTP Contest is an ongoing contest hosted by the CTP team for all authors who could write articles on the platform for thirty days straight without a break. Well, it has been running since last month and will conclude on 30th November 2021. That means you have only three days over a month to get started.
What do you have to do? You have to register on the below link to get started. The rules and your status can be tracked on the same link.
Winners who do get through the 30 days stand to win a share of $1000 of Hive and Hive-Engine tokens. While it may sound easy, I have faltered four times to keep the continuity of posting every day. If you miss even a day, your tally becomes zero. So, thirty days straight without a break.
Also, you are free to write about any topic, so long as you don’t enter any other contest’s post. This will be checked regularly. Besides, you will have to use the tag “#ctpcontent”. Only one article per day is captured by the site. So, even if you make multiple posts in a day with the tag, only one will be taken. Check the above link for the complete rules.
Just so that you know how difficult it is to write continuously for 30 days, only 19 people (as per the link above) have completed the contest so far. So, what are you waiting for? Go and participate. 😊
Zapfic Contest | By felt.buzz | 240 Character Story
Felt.buzz (Hive user) had hosted one of the longest-running microfiction contests on the Hive (and Steem) blockchain. It was during the Steem to Hive transition that the contest took a break. It did start again and ran for some time before a second break. And now….
It is back again!! I enjoyed this contest and will participate in the new iteration. It tests your writing skills to complete a story in just 240 characters (not words. Characters. Make a note of that). Here is the recent post.
You can read through the rules in the post, and winners get Hive SBI as the prize. I find it quite exciting personally and hope you will too. :)
Finish The Story Contest | By erh.germany
Finish the Story contest was another classic that has been going on for a long time. It had different owners, different hosts (including, ahem, yours truly), and now user @erh.germany is reviving it. God bless her!!
Here, the first part of a story is given, and writers have to complete the second part - your imagination, your story. There is a word limit of 500-700 words. So, your creativity needs to fit into that. 😊 You can find the contest here:
You can read all the rules in the above link. Also, winners stand to win Hive. Not a bad thing. Try it out. You won’t be disappointed.
That’s It
So, here are three opportunities on the Hive blockchain, and I will be coming up with more of them every now and then. Watch this space!
Either way, more opportunities will be discussed soon. Till then, have fun! 😊

Hi!
About the CTPContent Contest, especially about the post counter that appears in the link, it seems that it doesn’t work properly, is the contest based on that counter, or will you do a manual count?
Thank you for everything.
Hello @filmspace
Thanks for stopping by. I am not the owner of the contest. I am a participant just like you. I will tag my friend @achim03 over here. Let's see if he knows anything. Hi, @achim03, if you could guide about the user's query. Will help. :)
Also, ensure that you put the ctpcontent tag in the posts that you wish to have counted. It is auto-counted. We don't have to do anything. Hence I am not sure why yours aren't captured.
Did you register your account on the link? That's how they track you and the tag.
Hello @oivas
Thank you very much for your reply, it was very helpful.
Hi @filmspace,
Thanks for the mention @oivas. You will find the count of the contest on this website. However since the contest will run until 30th of november there is actually not enough time to get 30 posts in a row until then. To qualify you need to have a post written every day for 30 days without missing a single day. Also not all posts count for the contest. You can't put posts that are part of another contest or challenge. Also there are some minimal quality requirement that you find on the website and each of the posts needs to carry the #ctpcontent tag. It's @blainjones who is running the contest. Maybe he can help you out.
Hi @achim03
Thank you for your kind and helpful reply, a few days ago I read the contest rules, and I started posting three days ago, I think the goal of 30 post in 30 days ending November 30 was possible for me. I made a post for another contest too, but that post doesn’t count, since I didn’t use the tags, and it was my second post in one day. I thought I read that the counter would only take one post per day, so I have waited at least 24 hours difference between each post. But unfortunately I couldn’t read of the quality requirements, I guess it must be about that. I just thought the web counter was not working because there are people who appear with 30 post and have not posted 30 days in a row. Thank you very much for your reply.
Looking at your posts, all posts are on GMT time, You created one on Nov 1 at 22:57 and the next post on Nov 3 at 00:01. This is why they weren't counted
It's a shame, I didn't know anything about GTM time.
Well no matter, I guess it will be next time, but I still think they should check the counter. Thank you very much for your help.
Yeah I verified the counter was good to go and everything. It all works properly!!
I must have seen wrong, I thought I saw that the counter shows people with 30 posts, when in fact they haven't posted in a long time. But I don't know, thank you.
Yes, they have already completed the challenge. Once they complete the no longer need to post daily
They ended the contest months ago? When did it start?
I thought it started this month haha, that must be the reason for my confusion.
It started on August 15th. I wanted to be sure I gave everyone plenty of time to be able to complete it! You can check my blog for the original post and additional updates!
Haha I was really confused, I thought this was the contest post. I understand now, thank you so much for taking the time to explain what was going on.
