Comedy Open Mic - New Delegation Update!!!
We really are very lucky here with the #comedyopenmic contest. There is a lot of talent on steem and we can collectively, take credit for every discovery. This contest continues to thrive only through the collective efforts of the entire community pulling together, drawing in more talented comedians and many minnows just wanting to make others laugh with silly jokes, funny observations and cute pictures of cats falling over (we're only human after all).
It is thanks to the great content creators that the contest continues to draw attention from the rest of steem.
Over the past 7 weeks the contest has gotten quite a few generous donations from various people both in terms of SBD / Steem donations for prizes as well as SP delegations so that we are able to upvote entries with a community account that is not controlled by one person, but by a team of people. A little while ago the #comedyopenmic community banded together and raised some noise (as only clowns driving a beetle tooting their own horns can) and we were lucky enough to grab the attention of @roelandp (#sorrynotsorry for the tag) who was very generous and opted to delegate over 15,555.55SP to the @comedyopenmic account.
Additionally (and I might make him blush here) in the same fell swoop he delegated yet more SP to the @travelfeed team. He is such a generous man. Restores our faith in the whales.
Our current list of delegators:
@roelandp - 15,500SP, @idikuci - 2000SP, @dandesign86 / @bluetower - 500SP, @dj123 - 500SP, @take5 - 500SP, @flipstar - 300SP, @mightpossibly - 250SP.
And we would love more delegations from anyone. It would be great to have an upvote from our community account the size of Dmania or one of the other DAPs and really reward our community for producing original funny content, since it's all manually curated.
Our current list of donators:
@idikuci - 147SBD , @dj123 - 122SBD + 5 Steem, @punchline - 80 Steem + 10SBD, @take5 - 47 SBD, @ilt-yodith - 12SBD + 10.899 Steem, @dandesign86 and @redlipstick - 12SBD, @nonameslefttouse - 10SBD, @thedailylaugh - 10SBD, @meesterboom - 10SBD @dreemit - 5SBD, @thevillan - 5SBD, @steemmatt - 2SBD, @jedi-won - 2SBD, @bitfiend - 2SBD
And this is just the monetary donations, we also have a number of people giving up their time to reward their fellow community members. We started out with 4 judges, this week we have 6 judges checking out the content, it's not an easy job. There is a lot of time spent reading through funny posts, leaving great comments, upvoting people who will become your friends, compiling a list and laughing some more. In addition to the judging, there is also the organizing of the contest and planning for its future as well as organizing our community. The people who thus far have given up a lot of their time are the judges and curators of the contest, listed below:
@carlgnash, @punchline, @steemwizards, @nonameslefttouse, @trafalgar, @bitfiend, @steemmatt, @acolucky, @thedailylaugh, @diebitch, @take5, @dj123, @dandesign86, @idikuci
Without any of these guys the contest wouldn't have lasted as long.
Special Note:
Thanks to the delegation from @roelandp we now have a >$2.00 upvote so get your entries in, less than 24hrs left to go in round 7!!
Great stuff on building this fast growing community and receiving a nice delegation from Roeland 😬👍🏾
That was very generous of Roeland! Glad thedelegator considered helping too!
Thanks for dropping by @abh12345.
Carl found us early, and got a couple of Curie upvotes going here too, the Dtuber are beginning to trickle in since a few rounds ago, we're launching COMSpanish a trail with our local Spanish team with the help and collab from folks in the comedy community contributing artwork, meme, jokes, and writing, from India, Australia, Nigeria, UK, US, Guatemala, Argentina, and Venezuela!

great to see the delegations rolling in. I'll be sending over a little bit shortly. Been a bit AWOL lately, hopefully with working settling down, will be more active. Keep the funny coming everyone
to add to this. I am trying to send over 125 SP but getting an error message right now. Will try again later, please hold me accountable.
