Note: This are just a few nice contributions of #monthlyauthorchallenge participants and I will mention more in other posts (I think always another 7), so that this article here is not so hard to read!

You can always check out the Hashtag #monthlyauthorchallenge for watching new posts and Im sharing great contributions with my second account @inspiring from time to time too.

Rules of the Steemit Monthly Author Challenge:

- Post 1 article with a photo of your life every day for one month and use the tag #monthlyauthorchallenge for this posts. - You don´t have to add a detailed describtion to your photo article and it can be a quick photo post with Steepshot for example too. *(But don´t forget the #monthlyauthorchallenge tag!)* - The photo of your life don´t has to be up-to-date, but not older than 1 year, or you can also choose a photo of your childhood. - To make it more comfortable for everyone, you don´t have to nominate someone for the challenge every day in your daily post. Nominating is voluntary, but to share this fun, I would suggest to nominate some other Steemians from time to time, so that you can do this funny challenge together. - Your challenge ends when you reached the Monthy Author badget on steemitboard.com and then just make a final post that you finished the challenge. Info: The period for the Monthly Author Badget is always from the first of a calendar month until the last day of this month. 👌

That´s it, just have fun and if you like, share this challenge too and let´s become Monthly Authors everyone - Steem On!
