<center>**DELEGATIONS:**</center>

<center>There are a couple of new open slots. Current delegators will have priority in case they want to increase their position. **Contact us in discord before delegating, so we can review your account and to make sure the slot is still available**.
**Keep in mind that our current VP limits us and only allows us to upvote delegations till 100SP** (in order to keep a fair rate).
Please do not delegate over 100SP, unless you're just willing to support the project for what it is.</center>

<center>***DELEGATIONS :***</center>

<center>By delegating a small SP portion to the @monochromes account, anyone can help the Challenge and, at the same time, earn some extra votes when using the #monochromes tag.</center>
<center>**How**?</center><center>**There will be a limited number of slots available:**</center>  

<center>**25SP slots** - At current rate each one gets a 10% Upvote every 22 hours</center>
<center>**50SP slots** - At current rate each one gets a 20% Upvote every 22 hours</center>
<center>**100SP slots** - At current rate each one gets a 40% Upvote every 22 hours</center> 

<center>**PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THE UPVOTE VALUES ARE TIGHTLY CONNECTED TO STEEM'S EXTERNAL MARKET PRICE, SO IT WILL FLUCTUATE ACCORDINGLY**.</center>

<center>-------</center>
<center>**HOW WILL YOU GET YOUR DELEGATION EXCLUSIVE UPVOTE?**</center>
- **There's a hardworking little bot that will give you one upvote every 22 hours, on the posts with the #monochromes tag.**

<center>-------</center>

<center>**YOU POSTED **BEFORE** THE 22 HOURS COOLDOWN AND THE BOT MISSED YOU?**</center> 
- **NO PROBELM**! You can always **edit** and **save** that same post after the 22 hours period to "call" the bot and get the upvote that way.

***
***


<center>***TAGS***</center>  

<center>As you already noticed, there are two distinct tags to use in order to get rewards from this @monochromes account.</center>

- In case you are **NOT** delegating and just entering the #monomad challenge, use ONLY the #monomad tag.
- If you are delegating **AND** entering #monomad, use both of them, #monomad **AND** #monochromes.
