I am not a crazy fan of participating in contests, but I'd crazily search for contests as a newbie just because I was told that it's one of the only way to make do on the steem blockchain.

The contests I joined in my first few months on the blockchain never seemed to favour me as a person, **lol**. I always find myself coming up as a runner up that is not entitled to any reward, **haha**!

However, I on-boarded a community on the platform named #steemjet later in my Steemit journey. ![Steemjet curation 20180503_135317.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbbEeRmh9srxwTj4TL9kaoFkqz4RxsSFGJHFQaUb2Fmt3/Steemjet%20curation%2020180503_135317.jpg)

The sponsor of #steemjet, @dimimp organised the very first contest in the community of which everyone who participated emerged as winners. Everyone who participated got a reward of 150 steems, Oh really! Yea, I got 150 steems as at when a steem worth a little above $3 😁.

It was such a pleasant experience to have been rewarded with such a huge prize (It was damn huge, maybe just to me😏).

Another I would love to mention was when I won 300 steems as a reward very recently as a reward to a *logo contest* also pertaining to the #steemjet community organised by @dimimp, did you just say, "Dimimp again!?"😜. Yea, Dimimp did!
