Pretty sure anyone with less than roughly 1,500 steempower cannot effect $ gain on themselves. i.e, upvote themselves at 100% at full vote power and earn atleast .01 from it.
So if they have less than that and/or SBD that will equal less than that per a power up - then they seem a likely candidate for this initiative. However, not my post, not my rules. Just my 2......er 1 cent. Happy steeming everyone! Hope someone deserving betters from this. I will upvote a post of whoever the winner is :-)
You're probably right - BUT: There will be a winner and the winner will be visible for many steemiteers. That's an additional effect we should not underrate.
