###### [Vote for @Steemitboard as a witness](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/account-witness-vote?witness=steemitboard&approve=1) to get one more award and increased upvotes!

Thanks for these awesome suggestions for our contest this month! We've given you an upvote and logged your nominations, ready for the dpoll - keep an eye on our blog for the dpoll post!

Set your post payout to 50/50. You keep the SP and then transfer the STEEM and/or SBD (whichever is paid out at the time) to @yourtop3 with a link to your blog post entry in the transfer memo. This is the minimum entry fee, <b>but you can add as much as you like to it!</b> The more you add, the more you can win.There is no maximum entry fee.

Not sure how to find your post payout?  Look in your Steem Wallet under Author Rewards to find the exact payout for your post.  In the example below you would send the 0.014 SBD and 6.587 STEEM over to the @yourtop3 account as your entry fee.  We’ll take it from there and convert all of the prize pool to SBD for easy prize distribution at the end of the month!

Hey hey @tr33oflife! Thank you so much for joining STEEM and our contest - we're glad you found us on Twitter! 

Currently, you're not eligible at the moment as the word count must be at minimum 250 words and you're currently at 148 for the post so if you can maybe expand it a bit. One or two more sentences on each choice then you'll have the full green light!

As for the choices, well, Home Alone has definitely been a very popular one and with good reason! It is a timeless classic and captures the imagination, is hilarious in many aspects and has the warm fuzzy feeling at the end! The Christmas Carol animated version from 2009 was a bit of a darker one I found compared to say, the Muppets version, but I still enjoyed it! It's one of the foundations of this festive period I think and the fact it's had so many different versions is a tribute to the original works from Charles Dickens!

Gremlins is another great shout too! Not had that one in yet so it could be the winner when we do our poll after all entries are verified!

So all you need to do is just add a little bit more wording to bring it up to minimum of 250 and you're good to go! Everything else is spot on!

Yeaaaa man!! Great to have you join steem and through the @yourtop3 contest too! I just commented through our account but wanted to give you a personal high 5 as well!

Home Alone and Christmas Carol (the Muppets version) definitely in my top 3 but I didn't consider Gremlins! Think that's the first time we've seen it so far so another great shout there!

If you have any questions about the contest, please ask away in our Discord or on here and we'll be happy to help!

We'll share your nominations on Twitter too!

Welcome to Steemit! So happy to see you jump in the fun with our monthly contest! Especially with such great choices. I was hoping someone would add Gremlins to the list. It's always a blast to see all the choices and then how they rank on the poll when everyone votes. Looking forward to chatting with you more as you start your Steem journey. 😊

I'd have to go with the harry potter series myself and maybe Willie wonka but you have some solid choices in here for the holidays.

LOL I haven’t seen gremlins in ages looks like I have plenty of films to catch up on
