Round 18: Free Delegations for 4 Weeks + Upvotes

---

This is my 18th week of giving away delegations to some deserving newer steemians. I will announce the winners of week 17 in the next few days.

Everyone please keep sending people to this post so I can help them grow.

Why am I doing this?

Until we have RC Delegation options to help new steemians they are currently handcuffed when they start. The issue of not being able to freely interact with the blockchain as a person would on any other social media or blogging platform is keeping new people from reaching their potential. It's the people that make this blockchain have value, not the other way around so we need to help newer members have a good experience.

As a decentralized project it's our duty as members of the community to each pitch in and make the project a success. Without the community supporting each other there is no future for Steem or Steemit so this is my way of pitching in a little.

This is a simple little giveaway/contest for those who need some help being able to engage on steemit. The idea is to help people that are running into RC issues which limits the amount of commenting and posting they can do each day. Without the ability to engage it is very hard to build an audience and without that audience you aren't going to have people seeing your content.

Contest/Give Away Rules

1. You must have less then 85sp total SP, this includes any current delegations.
2. Leave a comment below with your entry, start entry with "THIS IS MY ENTRY" and then tell me how much SP you currently have, how often you post, and why you would like the Delegation.
3. You must power up your earnings and not be withdrawing them. Want to reward people who are showing they plan to be part of steemit long term.

Prizes

I want to get people up to 85sp or give them 35sp towards this. So the prizes will be "up to" 35sp each and all prizes will be for 4 weeks.

1. Max prize is 35sp for 4 weeks
2. Max I will increase your SP to is 85sp (example: if you have 60sp max prize is 20sp)
3. Max for this weeks prizes is 140sp, but only if enough quality original content producing people enter

Who receives the delegations is purely up to me as it's my money. But understand that I'm looking for active accounts that are producing quality Original Content.

Bonus Prize

One of the Minnow Builder accounts will be set to autovote your content for at least the 4 weeks you are getting the delegation. This means a daily free upvote on your posts. The goal of the Minnow Builder Program (@minnowbuilder) is to support hand picked steemians who have less then 500sp with daily upvotes.

It would be nice...

I never require upvotes, follows, or resteems to enter a contest but those things help support future giveaways.

Resteems are a HUGE help with a project like this. Getting the offer of free delegation in front of the people that need to see it most is critical. Looking at my list of followers most will not qualify for this offer so I need some help promoting this. Help me help the community.
