Yes, it's that time of the month again and I'm sure many of you have been waiting eagerly for what i have in store for you now.

Before I start

The goal of my competitions is to get a conversation going, have discussions and get to know new people. The participation level in my first competition was fantastic, but ever since it has been dropping and last month I only had 3 participants. So this month I am going to pick up partially from the success of my competition in January and set the rules a bit stricter. However to ensure that people get time to join and adjust to these new/amended rules, I will also extend the running period of the competition and on top of the winners prizes I'll award the 3 finalist with a 100% upvote from myself.

the Competition

This month I am going to challenge your originality, the question is broad and open and I am going to leave this up to your imagination to fill out so that we really get some conversations going. Here comes the question:

If you could be anything, what would you be and why

I'm going to give you a few examples of what I could give as an answer: If I could be anything, I would be ...

a pilot: this has been a dream of mine since I was a child
an eagle: very elegant and beautiful animal with the ability to fly and enjoy the freedom of the skies
a football player: ... just for the immense amount of money they earn
myself: I love my life as it is, with all its ups and downs, this is my life, it's sincere and I enjoy every minute of it

This competition is going to run for an extended period of time as I'll be on holiday from the 20^th April, so you have until 19:00PM (GMT+1) on Tuesday 2^nd May to submit your entry. That's more than 3 weeks to participate in this competition!!!
Payout of the prize money will occur at the latest 24 hours after the competition is closed, so on Wednesday 3^rd May at 19:00PM at the latest
Please remember I like to keep my posts suitable for everyone and family friendly, so racism, sexism or any other way that people might get offended will not qualify for my competition
A small hint ... the winner is chosen based on originality 😜

Prizes

To encourage you to make the effort and write a post, I am giving away 3 prizes again, divided as follows:

7,5 SBD
5 SBD
2,5 SBD

Choosing a winner

The winning entry is chosen based on my personal choice and can be totally biased based on my own preferences and mood (as I’m giving away my own SBD, I do believe that’s my prerogative 😉). On a final note, I will give each participant feedback by reply on your post if one or more requirements is missing. That way everyone has a fair chance to win, however as I'll be away on holiday it can take a while for me to respond to everyone ... a man deserves a break from you guys 😉 Thank you and good luck! ![IMG_2196.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXCA9gKs5pFVgaYa4ifAWY3y3Hey6BefLiUw42ea6JCA9/IMG_2196.JPG) _{I'm very proud of who I am and my achievement to date} Doron
