Wow, there where so many good memes and gifs last week that it took me a lot of time to consider which ones to reward as they were so close on the quality. So congrats with this occasion, it seems that the quality is improving fast. Eventually I wanted to give up so I choose to use steemcommentpicker instead, to make it random and choose 3 people.

Here is the video to see how I did it : Video ; After I selected them with one top voted and 2 random comments, I've made the top 3 based on the work put in the meme and my personal preference.

As you know the prizes for last week where increased thanks to the donation of @curtaintwitcher .

With that said here are the winners of last week :

Last week winners are :

• MEME1st Place (5 SBD) : @drvnpatel -

• GIF2nd Place (3.5 SBD) : @steemit-joy -

• MEME3rd Place (2.5 SBD) : @forsteemit -

I have sent the prizes to your accounts.

dMania & Steefun Contest

I decided to add SteeFun to the contest and will probably add more fun platforms from the steemblockchain in the future.

I am holding this contest because I saw that many users find it more easy to just copy paste material from different sources like 9gag, reddit. That's not my problem, even if the gif or meme is taken from somewhere else at least it should be good. My problem is that they don't even bother to find good ones. It takes like 5-15 minutes to find a funny or interesting gif there, yet they copy paste what comes in handy and hope for the bot upvote which leads only to greed and nothing else.

Memes,gifs and videos are a form of comedy, if you use the right tools and try to come up with a creative idea. I'm not saying you should design memes and gifs from scratch, even tough you can always do that and it can become viral. I am saying that you should try to edit it somehow to make it as creative as you can to fall under "fair use" law and to make it yours. Use photoshop or different free editing programs that are out there. After you do this put a watermark on it so people will know who it belongs to. Even if other people will use it, because you can't restrict that, at least people will know who it belongs to.

Rules for the Contest

I am allocating 6 SBD from my earnings to this contest. I will increase this or remove this depending on different factors like success of the contest, other donations for the contest, my productivity or adding more similar platforms to reward people.

Prizes :

• 1st place - 3 SBD

• 2nd place - 2 SBD

• 3rd place - 1 SBD

Being also a green supporter on dMania I will also try to upvote in a timely manner the posts that I find funny and interesting. This will give you a very high chance for the bot upvote also, which involves more money than I am offering for now. But this depends on my time and some dMania rules that you probably already know.

Rules

• DONT'T FUCKING SPAM

• DON'T FUCKING SPAM WITH COPY PASTED MEMES, I ALREADY KNOW MOST OF WHAT IS OUT THERE AND CAN EASILY MAKE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A ORIGINAL MEME AND A COPY PASTED ONE

• DON'T FUCKING SPAM WITH DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS

• SHARE YOUR Dmania, SteeFun OR STEEMIT LINK IN THE COMMENTS

Donations from other people are welcome. All donations will go to the winners and can increase the number of rewarded people. If I see a lot of interest and it will be a lot of work from my side, I will take a procentage from the donations as I will be using a lot of my time to work on this. If anyone thinks that this will be bad, I can only tell you that I value my time and so should you.
