Curation Contest - Week 15 of Paying it Forward

Really enjoyed the submissions from last week. With the reputation score cap raised it allowed us to be exposed to many new bloggers who hadn't been featured before and a few who had been featured but had grown past level 50. Was a lot of fun for the judges and showed that there are still a lot of steemians over level 50 who can use the added push on their posts.

With that said this week we will test out using level 55 as the max reputation score. I think this will open up the options for who is featured and still keep it at a point that we are helping those who need a boost.

Now with this increased level I will ask that you all try and target posts which aren't earning the rewards they deserve. Not trying to be mean to those who earn $20+ a post, but they aren't who we are trying to help. Now if a post happens to get picked up by Curie or something that is different, but if each time someone posts they are earning a good amount skip them please.

Contest Date Range

This contest run from Tuesday 07/10/18 until 07/14/18 at 11:59pm CST (USA, Chicago). The winners will be announced on Wednesday 07/18/18 at 12:01am

For week 15 you will need a curation style entry that includes 2 High Quality Original Content Blog Posts from steemians with a reputation score of 55 or under.

• Curation Style Post of 2 Bloggers who are posting Quality Original Content

• Include a link to this contest in your entry post
• The 2 bloggers you curate need to be rank 55 or below
• You need to comment on this post with a link to your post, this is how I track everything!

👉👉Clarification for Quality Required for valid Entry👈👈
We are looking for Quality Original Content. We want to see no less then 200 words of original written content. So a single photo is fine as long as there is 200 words with it.

200 words is about 12 lines of content.

Posts from Parley and dmania are not acceptable.
