Curation Contest - Week 16 of Paying it Forward
This is going to be fast, almost forgot what day of the week it is. This week things are staying the same as last week. We will have the same rules for level 55 and below for who can be featured.
Thank you all for finding some great steemians last week and showing that moving to level 55 can work and opens the doors to some added quality posts that deserve to be featured!
Before we get started I want to share a little news and ask that everyone lend a hand to someone who not only has helped this contest, but I consier a friend.
@kaliju needs help from the community!
There are many people who run around helping others all the time without asking for anything in return. From what I have seen @kaliju is one of those people. Right now he is faced with a very large medical bill due to an emergency surgery and he needs some help. Please at the very least visit all of his active posts and give upvotes. As you read this post asking for help you can decide what you can afford to do or not do.
Contest Date Range
This contest run from Tuesday 07/17/18 until 07/21/18 at 11:59pm CST (USA, Chicago). The winners will be announced on Wednesday 07/18/18 at 12:01am

👉👉Clarification for Quality Required for valid Entry👈👈
We are looking for Quality Original Content. We want to see no less then 200 words of original written content. So a single photo is fine as long as there is 200 words with it.
200 words is about 12 lines of content.
