While 1 in 4 respondents from a recent HackerNoon poll have participated in a writing contest, nearly a third feel they wouldn’t get far or haven’t found the right contest yet. And since we want everyone to have a shot at winning, we asked the winners of the recently concluded #crypto-api writing contest to share their tips on submitting a strong entry and increasing your chances of winning a HackerNoon contest.
Here’s what they had to say:
