Week 7.png

Week 7 is Now Closed to New Entries. You can enter in Week 8's contest which will start at 12:01am Tuesday CDT (That is CST with daylight saving time).

Week 7 is bringing a few changes to help make sure we are better serving the featured bloggers! Next week I expect a few more changes too as currently there is an open discussion in this post where I'm asking for help from you on how to make the contest better. If you want your voice heard go there and share your thoughts.

Reminder

Just a little reminder the purpose of this contest is to help all of the blogger who get featured. If you have spare time please check back each day and look at the bottom of this post as I will keep updating the list of entries. Visit some of the entries and let them know how you found them and give the best ones an upvote!

Contest Date Range

First Change is about the Cut Off Time for valid entries. To make sure that there is time for all entries to be viewed and the featured bloggers all get the exposure which this contest is designed to provide we will be only taking entries from Tuesday- Saturday 11:59pm CDT (CDT is Central Daylight Time). Need this time to revolve around my time so I can make changes to the posts at a set time for me, midnight.

If your unsure how CDT converts this link should show you your local time for 11:59pm.



Requirements **Clarified Rules for what is Quality**

Your Entry will be a single Curation Post that highlights 3 other bloggers with a reputation score of 50 or below and link to 1 of their posts.

  • Curation Style Post of 3 Bloggers who are posting Quality Original Content
  • Link to 1 recent blog post per featured blogger. Keep in mind that many will follow this link and upvote so pick a post that isn't close to payout!
  • Include a link to this contest in your entry post
  • The 3 bloggers you curate Must Be Rank 50 or Lower!
  • 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, this is stress week after week yet we are getting many single photo posts as featured content, or cut/paste post from Wikipedia or other sources. Neither of these are worthy of being featured.

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.

To make it easy to estimate 200 words figure there needs to be 12 lines of content.

Posts from Parley and dmania are not acceptable.



Prizes

This week at least 6 winners are going to get a sponsorship for @steembasicincome which means a lifetime of votes on future posts from @steembasicincome.
  • There will be 1 SBI Sponsorship per 8 entries into the contest on a random basis (minimum of 2).
  • There will be 4 Judges Choice SBI Sponsorships awarded based the quality of the bloggers you feature in the eyes of our Judges, @erodedthoughts, @lynncoyle1, @energyaddict22, & @wolfhart.

Each entry will get part of the Bounty! See my Review of Steem-Bounty to learn more about the program.

** Fair warning I will flag you if you are trying to boost your comment to get more of the bounty. This includes use of paid votes to increase your portion of the community side of the bounty.

Entry #15

@buckaroo - you have been featured / nominated in two different entries. I hope that you find the magic of "Pay It Forward" by recognizing talents and feature them in your entries.
This is what I call "planting trees" and the more that you help others to get recognized, the more you will be recognized - in the long term.
Plant your trees:

Thank you @freedomshift. I am very well aware and grateful. That's how I first found out about Pay it Forward. I have every intention of doing so

Awesome....really nice of you to participate. Welcome to thedarkhorse-pay-it-forward family. Make yourself at home. Will check out your entry shortly.

Entry #8 - Great first time entry!

And you are correct it really is hard to find the gems at lower rep levels which is why I think SO many on steemit will overlook someone under a 50. Which is why I used that level as a cut off to try and feature those who have the hardest time getting noticed.

That is so true - I see it so often. There are quite a few Steemians who have reputation levels above 50 who actually either just copy and paste or just load cool images from other sites either claiming it as their own or simply posting a simple copy and paste link back to the source without any actual contribution in terms of anything. I look forward to continually supporting your initiative and highlighting the Steemians I find worthy. Thank you for starting this project.

The first time bonus, a total of 3 SBD, will be shared evenly among all who qualify. See details on "the bonus" post.
