☠️ The Concept ☠️
This competition is fairly straight forward.
Each month I will run this competition, and one lucky person will be adopted for one month.
Upon adoption, I will support you for the month by up voting your posts. I will also be here to answer any questions you may have about Steemit.
I will also continue to support my minnows beyond this one month period, and up vote any posts which I find in my feed that I enjoyed.
Why Do This
Well I remember when I was first starting out on Steemit. It can be difficult to find support.
I was very lucky to receive a delegation of 500 steem power from @mattclarke and really appreciate how much it has helped me. When I got the 500 steem power delegation it was like he said here invest 3 grand for a year.
I really appreciated this(thanks bud) and this is what motivates me to help others. Plus it's in my nature ;)
So I would like to offer others a leg up and help them start out on their Steemit journey.

☠️ So What is This Worth? ☠️
Well to start of I will follow everyone who is eligible to enter. So you have a change for me to up vote your posts in my feed :)
First Prize
☣️ My minnow for the month will initially receive 50% of this posts SBD payout, to mark the opening ceremony.
☣️ Regular up votes throughout the month.
☣️ Ongoing future support once my minnow is set free = $$$ the sky is the limit as time goes on this is sure to be huge :)
☣️ For the closing ceremony, I will write a post about my minnow and what I have learned about them. 50% of the SBD generated from that post will go to my minnow as a departure gift.
Runner up 2nd and 3rd
☣️ Runner up 2nd and 3rd place will receive up votes at 50% for 1 week or equivalent.
☣️ I will also transfer 0.100 SBD as constellation prize.
All other entrants
☣️ I will send the first 18 entrants after 3 place 0.100 SBD as a constellation prize. I will take note of order of entries and will limit this to 18 as well if 100 people enter i'll be broke lol. I feel it is good to reward people for taking the time to support this initiative.
☠️ I'm In - How Do I Enter? ☠️
☣️ Entry is really simple.
☣️ You must be level 45 or below reputation score
☣️ Upvote and re-steem this post
☣️ Follow Me
☣️ Add a comment with why you should be chosen
How Are Minnows Picked?
On the day of post payout, I will pick a couple of entries for people I really like. Then I will write those names down on some pieces of paper and draw them from my hat(recorded with gopro).
Going from my last comp it is really difficult to pick a winner as there are some great entries. So the hat works well.
☠️ Some of the fine Details ☠️
☣️ So each day I will up vote 2 posts at 50% up vote, which is about $0.07 or 1 vote at 100% if only one post.
☣️ If you don't post for a few days, I take note of that and will continue to up vote past the month until the missed days are made up for.
☣️ These posts are guaranteed to be up voted, as I will visit your blog each day.
☣️ Any additional posts I see in my feed will be up voted, with a decreasing up vote % per post as I also need to spare up votes for other people on here I support.
☣️ If your posting something every 5 mins, trying to get rewards I most likely won't up vote them.
☣️ Your posts must fall within Steemit user guidelines, and be good content. Photos with a description, credit others when their stuff is used and so fourth.
☣️ If your posting bad content, spamming, abusing people or doing anything frowned upon by the community I reserve the right to un-follow you and stop supporting you. In which case a new competition will be run to find a new minnow.
☣️ I may change the rules as the competition evolves.

If you would like to enter the competition then read the guideline of what you need to do, then I will mark your entry as valid.
I'm a new entry in Steemit and I'm a (junior) writer about blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and ICO, but also other stuff that I'm usually interested because I'm graduating in political science so maybe I could mix up those interests for some articles in future. Thank you for your competition.
Hi @lucaventurella thanks for entering my comp.
Welcome to Steemit :)
Oh cool political science that sounds interesting, sounds like you will have some interesting blogs. Looking forward to checking some of them out.
Valid Entry ✔️
Thank you :)
Cool of you to do this. Chose my channel if you'd like. Make music preview and reviews. Just starting out but creating a back log of content. Goal is to spread good music to the people, and entertain in the process. Im a music lover and videographer. Much love.
Hi @scraped thanks for entering.
Looks like your a music lover too :D
Have followed you and it will be good to check out some of your content. I'm all for sharing good music. You might like some of the series I'm doing atm about music.
Valid Entry ✔️
Much thanks! Look forward to your future content as well. Originally found you from your music series! Cheers
How awesome off you to do this.
The greatest compliment someone can give me has nothing to do with looks or anything like that. It is when someone responds to something I've said with, "You know, I've never thought of that like that.". Ok the flip side, some of my most treasured experiences have been the times someone challenged my beliefs with something i could not answer at the time. It caused me to dig in and be sure of what i believe and why. In recent years Facebook has been a good place for those things. We all know what is going on there, so I'm hoping to build up a good replacement avenue here.
Hi @thiefoncross thanks for entering.
It is good then someone responds with "You know, I've never thought of that like that." As you have opened their eyes up to a new perspective on something.
Looking forward to reading some of your posts :)

Hey @thevillan
Great idea and thanks for doing this for us minnows.
Why should you pick me? I have been on Steemit about two weeks so I'm very new and my blogging skills are raw. A guiding light to improvement would be great.
I always write original content usually about my travel experiences, sport or crypto. I'm working damn hard to increase my following and build up my Rep and that will continue regardless.
I'm a friendly guy that is interested in engaging with other users and I would represent your competition well.
I hope that sounds good! :)
Cheers, Gaz.
Hey @cheese4ead thanks for entering.
No worries I'm happy to do my bit to help the community :)
I'm looking forward to checking out some of your posts, I really enjoy reading posts about traveling.
It is tough starting out, and can suck when you write a great post which gets a cent or two, so I'm hoping to change that as best I can.
You have earned me as a follower :)

your welcome
What a great idea and an excellent way to carry the spirit of steemit forward as well as the users.
My name is Stephen I’m a dad to two beautiful children, my son who has just turned 13 and my daughter of 7 years and I blog about being a farther who grew up not knowing what it was like to have a farther figure to teach me. That’s what is meant by the name @father2b. It is me learning from my children and sharing those teachings with the world. I want to be a position to give back to others like myself and help their journey either as a farther or here on steemit, promoting good content and rewarding good writers. Thank you for the opportunity and taking the time to read my comment.
Well done @father2b you have won my adopt a minnow comp, here is the prize draw
I will send half the competition post payout to your wallet, and start up voting your stuff each day.
Looking forward to seeing some of your blogs :)
Hi @father2b thanks for entering :)
It's really good that you are there for your kids, they are lucky.
It would be tough growing up without a father, I think it's great you have taken the right path in life too rather than a destructive one.
It's good you want to give back to the community, that's what makes steemit great :)
Will be good to read some of your posts and find out more.
