So here's a little treasure hunt.

Below are clues about 10 new steemians.

Track them down and win $$$.

All the steemians featured are new accounts with reputations of 30 or less (at the time of posting this contest).

So this is also a way to give a bit of exposure to ten new people on steemit. All have made interesting posts that I will be upvoting after this contest finishes.

Feel free to share the love a bit and give some upvotes when you find these steemians.

The clues below are a little bit cryptic so you will need to do a bit of searching and a little bit of lateral thinking.

Once you have found these steemians all you have to do to enter is upvote and resteem this post and then post your answers in a comment below. For each steemian you have found include a very brief description of why they fit the clue, or a link to an appropriate post of theirs.

There will be a first prize of 10 SBD, a second prize of 4 SBD, and a third prize of 1 SBD. Prizes will be awarded according to he number of correct entries, and in the case of entrants with the same number of correct entries by random selection.

I will chose the winner after the competition closes at midnight UK time (UTC+1) on Saturday 19 August.
