The Pay It Forward Curation Contest is all about increasing exposure for high quality posts and increase the level of engagement on steemit. You can take part by entering the contest or just helping visit the entries and their featured posts. Everyone chooses their level of involvement and we appreciate the efforts of everyone who helps promote quality content on Steemit.

Make sure to check back to this post often and scroll to the end to see a list of this week's curation entries!

How to Enter the Pay It Forward Curation Contest?

To enter the Curation Contest you will find 2 high quality blog posts written by reputation level 55 or lower steemians and then write a curation style blog post like this entry by @viking-ventures from week 16 which won a Judges Choice Award. The idea is to highlight both posts and why you thought they were high quality.

To be clear the Level 55 max is only for the bloggers who are featured, anyone may submit a curation entry.

Rules:

  • Curation Style Post that highlights your 2 featured blog posts.
  • Link to the high quality blog posts in your curation post. 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 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 we track everything!

👉👉Clarification for Quality Required for valid Entry👈👈
We are looking for Quality Original Content and that post spells out what that means. If you are new please read it.

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.

** Art posts that show at least 3 steps of progression will not need to have 200 words of content, but still attempt to explain their art. Please use some common sense here.

Posts from Parley and dmania are not acceptable.

Entry #12

Here is my entry for this week top of the pile baby - https://steemit.com/payitforward/@chekohler/week-40-pay-it-forward-curation-entry

Entry #1

Very good entry... and boy, that was fast!

I've enjoyed and upvoted both articles with a little more VP than I usually do, since the rewards were so tiny. But I feel like there's something strange about @dragonwolftech's account. I left him a question and I hope he can help me clearing up my doubts.

Entry #9

Here is my entry for this week... I only had to edit it about 10 times after posting....

https://steemit.com/curation/@bengy/payitforwardentry-week40-iryr6sevtr

Nice choices, but it looks like @zorank beat you at featuring @rubberduckiemom's post.

Damn it! If it isn't @curie....oh well!

Entry #4

Hope to see the normal prize still get a lot of entries so far looks good here mine. I will try to save some voting power to look at more of these this week and support them.

Here is my entry again with a 2 steem bounty. https://steemit.com/payitforward/@stever82/week-40-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-entry

4 more entries today... there goes my voting power. Uahahhahha! :-)

Entry #13

Entry #8

Excellent choices. I've supported both of them, I've submitted both posts to the C-Square community in Discord... and I'll be following @goodwithtravels! :-)

Interesting choices this week, @celinavisaez!

Gracias @trincowski, un abrazo e la distancia.

Awesome job last week guys. It was a very hard choice. I really wish I had the means to give more SBI.

I understand why the links shared are always from SteemIt.com but since they really have thrown us all under the bus regarding the banning of the @thedarkoverlord's account (see here), shouldn't we start advertising other interfaces here, by posting links to...?

I believe we need to start separating SteemIt.com from the STEEM Network and aim for a real decentralised Network.

What do you guys and girls think?

I think this is something that should be shared on Discord rather than here... What do you think @thedarkhorse, @lynncoyle1, @tryskele, @headchange?

You have my support @trincowski. My links have been based on @steempeak (ask @cicisaja last week ... 😊, but @macoolette helped by confirming she can access SteemPeak via her phone, with no problems ...), since I haven't used SteemIt for some time.

Definitely all in favor of as decentralized a blockchain as we can manage. 👍


P.S. In his latest support post, @steemchiller indicated he is working on his own Steem interface, via SteemWorld!

I agree with @viking-ventures this is a discord conversation.

I will be skipping this week. I only had a blogger in mind and her post is already 5 days old. I've been waiting to see if a new post would appear but it didn't... and this week is nearly over anyway, so I guess I'll see you all next week.
