I think that idea is good that there have to be many things for minnows to be supported and to make people who create value for the community to be valued as well. But I agree most Steemians who commented that creating the Award like this would create more questions for minnows and many of them may think that it is for just few people. Also, it would be hard for juries to read all of the posts to vote them.
I agree @xyz666 for making private messaging enable on Steemit. It would create better relationships and I want to add that creating Co-authoring and Groups would also make good possibilities for minnows who want to create better posts and develop on Steemit.
