A very interesting and rewarding but rather unknown contest at nTopaz Platform is the DAILY COMMENT CONTEST. The only thing that someone has to do in order to take part is to leave a nice and supporting comment at the artworks that he/she likes at nTopaz and then copy the link of the artwork and past it at the #daily comment contest channel of nTopaz Discord server. The contest has a daily cycle starting and ending at 03:00 am(UTC) and within this cycle nTopaz is manually voting the 10 best comments with a vote up to 1$.
I find this contest very rewarding in three different ways.
-
The first one is the support that a nice and encouraging comment can give to an artist. I remember when i started using Facebook, back at 2008 i enjoyed a lot having comments under my artworks, people were writing interesting opinions and great discussions and friendships started that way. Sadly when after a few years people reduced commenting and started just leaving a like, it got really boring. Artists need a positive encouragement to feel appreciated for their hard work and interesting conversations to get inspired.

The second is the educating value that a well written comment has. Comments are a great way to get attention but as far as i see most users are coming from non English speaking countries, like me. I struggle with English sometimes and i am sure other people too, having a great thought but not the tools to express it right is a problem. The only solution is practice and the best way in my opinion is by commenting.

The third is of course the economic value, 1$ is not a small price for a comment specially during this low price of Steem. I think it worth the effort to make a well written one.
Check the rules and guideliness of the contest here and i am realy hoping you would like to take part.
