Marky's Make a Minnow Contest

in #minnow6 years ago (edited)

image.png

Do you know a Steemian who has less than 500 SP that kicks ass?

I will choose one of the Steemians nominated below and will personally power them up to make them a minnow.

If they have 1 Steem Power, I will power them up 499 Steem to bring them to 500 Steem. If they have 499 Steem Power, I will power them up 1 Steem Power to bring them to Steem Power.

I will choose a Steemian with no regard to their current Steem Power, as long as they have less than 500 Steem Power. I will make my decision based purely on the nominee's posts and engagements up to this point in time. I will favor nominees who have received multiple nominations but I make no guarantees it will be the deciding factor.

This contest maybe worth 1 Steem or as much as 499 Steem.

How does it work?

I am looking for a Steemian that is creating great content but has not reached Minnow Status yet. I will review suggestions from the community and choose my favorite entry.

If you know someone you brought to Steem or a new user you have engaged with that would benefit from this contest, create a post titled My nomination for Marky's Make a Minnow Contest and use the following tag: markyminnow.

In 7 days I will choose one entry and will get them to 500 Steem Power.

Rules

  • Nominate Steemian that has less than 500 Steem Power
  • Create a post titled My nomination for Marky's Make a Minnow Contest
  • Include a link to this announcement at the beginning of your post
  • Use the following tag: markyminnow
  • Winner will be chosen in 7 Days.

The official countdown will be the final decision if a nomination has been submitted in time. Any nomination submitted once this countdown has hit zero will not be able to be accepted.

Thanks so much for the support friend 😊

@onetechtraveller

Yes, I'm meant to do a post, but too lazy. I hope someone who reads these comments gives this guy a visit. Some of the best content I've come across recently.

thanks for the love man, much appreciated. I've always just gone about doing my best and sharing value, putting my skills to use. Your recognition and others are what gives me energy to keep working on my passion and knowing one day, it will bear fruit. Cheers @fredrikka!

Keep Being Awesome,
One Tech Traveller

I'll have a look at this guy.

Hey @cryptospa cheers for checking out some of my stories. Hopefully you may find some of my travel stories and gear reviews of interest to you buddy.

Ok, now I'm waiting for your contest for the poor Steemians with under 20K SP. :(

What are their sins?

I am not a whale, but I love this idea and will join the initiative. @themarkymark , tag me when you have a second runner and I'll show them some love up to 500SP. :)

Yeah, bro, been there. Got over it. Ignore the noise and you'll be fine. Less time spent on this type of spammy bullshit, more time spent actually creating value for the blockchain.

You know he thrives on this shit, right? He stopped flagging me as soon as I stopping giving a shit.

Nah. I ain't bothered. Losing control is letting the bad guys win, you know. I honestly didn't think Steem would survive 2018 with so many stakeholders being asshats. Still here.

Will make you a bit busy to check the list @themarkymark 😉 at least you don't use polling to choose the minnow wanna be😂

Here is my entry and nominee

Thank you!

Damn, do you want to power me up to minnowhood xD ? I'm like 35SP way... :P

I'll check some redfish accounts... let's see if I find any good enough to make a post about

I was also considering nominating myself haha, it doesn't say I can't and I certainly kick ass 😎

Posted using Partiko Android

ahahah, well, let's give something to the other people, I'll try to find some minnows with good content, I already got a few in mind

@molovelly is one of the most giving people I know. Though she has limited resources, she does everything she can to help others. I have known @molovelly for about 3 years now. She is not only active and helpful on STEEM, but always has had a listening ear for those having a hard time.

Her positive energy adds so much to our platform and its members. I can think of no one more deserving from a little bit of help.

Please see the rules above if you want to fully nominate someone.

fixed and done. Thanks for letting me know.

ooooooo sorry, making a turkey so just skimmed over it will go back and read better

I'm loving how not one person thus far has been capable of following the instructions..

I resemble that comment LOLL

😂 all pointed out in good fun, I often can be found also not following the rules! Glad u could make light of my jerk of a comment 😉

Posted using Partiko Android

it made me laugh because it was so true LOLL

WOW! Thanks for this opportunity!
I am using today's new moon to manifest abundance and prosperity for all of us. This contest comes with such a nice timing! :) Am I allowed to do what I did with my entry?

This is a nice competition. We on the #TenKMinnow project are trying to get a load of people to minnow with votes. We have some good accounts helping us out with that. Steem needs a lot more minnows as people tend to give up if they make no progress. We need dolphins and orcas helping them out and not just boosting their own rewards. Without a steady uptake Steem will wither. I hope others will follow your lead.

Make moar minnows!

Your are so kind to make Minnow contest like this !!! Looking forward for more contest to help Other Steemians 😍

Estoy muy agradecido! Gracias mi hermano italiano! Saludos desde Venezuela

Dear minions, as the world's most up-and-coming supervillain I would make a wise choice for your nomination. I'm not only a real cool dude, I'm a prodigious sandwich maker and can speak sign language to squirrels. I feel I have all the essential qualifications.

If you're wondering, "who the heck do I nominate..." look no further. I will use the 500 Steem for mischief and shenanigans and of course world domination.

Do it!! Mwahaha!!

Please see the rules above if you want to fully nominate someone.

That’s a lot of work :)

yup, too much work for 500 sp.

Incorrect. 198 SP in this case.

Well, you don't have to do it. Or better yet, you can give them up to 500 Steem to become a minnow.

Sure, let me reach your Orca level first. In the meantime, I can meet you in the middle and go 50/50 if you are willing to make this user a minnow.

Keep it up @themarkymark,how I wish to have that sp and I nominate @jurich60. She never surrender in steemit and she is always going fine. 13

Hey @themarkymark! Im not trying to enter this contest, just wanted to say that I support this kind of ideas from Steemit veterans because im new. I have been following you on a recommendation since I joined this platform. I did get a message for some minnow whitelist or something like that some time ago, but I still dont know how it works. The point of this comment is just to say hello :) and ask you to check out my blog when you finde the time. Thank you! :D

I don't do politics...Leave me out please.I just want to show my artwork. Thank you.

No problem, water under the bridge.

Can one nominate himself? Asking for a friend.

I vote @Lupecoin for this, great account but still a guppy in a sea of whales

Please see the rules above if you want to fully nominate someone.

When its fish written by unique word it will be more expensive and beautiful fish

Das ist eine tolle Idee.

Ich bin noch recht neu hier und habe selber 20.556 SP.
Sind das jetzt 20Komma556 SP
oder für diese Situation 20556 SP?

Vielleicht eine dumme Frage aber ich danke trotzdem für eine Antwort.
Der Filosof

Hey Filosof,
ich habe eine kluge Frage: Seit wann gibt es dumme Fragen? ;)

Der Punkt ist ein Komma. Es ist die englische Schreibweise. Du hast im Moment eine Steem Power von 20,556.

@rokhani.
It's a gambling for me to nominate myself, but i think I need to do it.

Your post is helpful , I hope someone who reads these comments gives this guy

I love this initiative and am looking forward to seeing who you pick.

What i want to know is: What's up with this picture? Yours?

It's probably a free online picture... but at least you can say so.

It's from Pixaybay, which is CCO (aka Creative Commons Zero, Public Domain)

CCO requires no attribution for free or commercial use.

I can, in theory, change it, and sell it to you for $1 if I really wanted to. In fact, I could just sell it to you without making changes.

Either way, I only use CC0 images (or my own). If I use anything that isn't CC0 or I am unsure if it is CC0 I will source it.

Much point here....... I keep wondering why they ask me to source an image from pixaybay and pexels when they said that they require no attribution......

Posted using Partiko Android

For the most part, it shouldn't matter. Unless, you posted them as sole content (like single picture or claim you made it).

We flag those because we don't want everyone to post and repost each and every single stock photo out there just for the sake of having placeholders for upvotes.

Hi @themarkymark I am nominating myself for the minnow contest.

Here is the link to my post
https://steemit.com/markyminnow/@wems/my-nomination-for-marky-s-make-a-minnow-contest

Thank you.

20190308_232651-COLLAGE.jpgDear #themarkymark. You forward yourself a lot by presenting the discussion about "fish pona(Baby)"(Minnow) as appropriate. This is why the praise is also spreading. The comments are unimaginable. There is also the account of getting 500 steams on it. In today's world, there is a lot of demand for your presentation. Seeing comments from many commentators may not seem to mean the meaning of the word "Minnow". Again, many will be able to meet your speech and needs. Someone may give full results to anyone or fail. Let's fight to conquer. See how the correct answer looks like to you. We also look forward to seeing. Ok ...

Would love to nominate @vishalhkothari

If you would like to, have a look through the rules.

Thanks @sweetyvshah but there are more deserving people on the platform

Posted using Partiko Android

I am only accepting one entry per person, please pick one and let me know which.

Oh, no!!!!! That is gonna be tough! Let me think......
dangit...

Okay, I am going with @blind-spot. I have taken the other two entries from the comments here. So the one that is left is my entry.
Thanks so much.
