Welcome to The Daily Sneak!!!

Come for the crypto, stay for the community!

You can earn up to 5 SBD per accepted submission for guest curating The Daily Sneak. Submission requirements are published at the bottom of each edition of The Daily Sneak.

Today's guest curator is @randomwanderings. A returning guest curator that supports exceptional content through submission to @curie as well as through @sneakyninja, we are pleased to welcome him back!

Author Gene here. I am a Curie Curator and in my searching for exceptional content, I come across many great posts that might not fit the Curie guidelines. I hope to use The Daily Sneak as an outlet for some of these posts that still deserve more attention then they might be getting on their own.

Winston's Digital Wet Plate Photography :: EXPLAINED & REVISITED

This is easily the best photography post I have ever seen. @winstonwolfe is a 70 Rep though, so untouchable with Curie.

RBGlitch...

@dolores.meiwes shares an unusual, yet amazing art form.

---

Exhibition Results From Making Thumbnail Traditional House

Another unique art form. @endacliquers has actually posted some incredible things in the past as well. He has created miniature motorcycles out of cardboard and paper! Lots of talent.

---

Homemade miniature planets.

It wasn't planned and I hadn't really realized it until I sat here to add them into this form, but many of these posts feature some amazing and unique art/talent. This one from @the-beard I might possibly try myself and take it a step further; we shall see.

Lexa Roséan, an extraordinary person and dancer!

This one should have been submitted to Curie, but I skipped it because the videos were previously posted. @tangowind shares an amazing story of an all female dance team that won the US Argentine Tango Championship and much more.

Conclusion

Short on commentary, but long on awesome! These are really great posts that @randomwanderings found for us again. I really enjoyed the artistic theme, even if he confessed it was not deliberate. Check them out and let the author's know what you think! For submitting these excellent selections and commentary, @randomwanderings gets paid 5 SBD.

Each of these highlighted articles receives full upvotes and resteems from @sneakyninja, along with additional upvotes from our curation trail. As an added bonus, @sneakyninja sponsors featured writers for Steem Basic Income!

If you have previously submitted curation that was never published, please review the requirements and then try again! We are always please to welcome new guest curators, and to welcome back former guest curators.

Curation Trail

The Daily Sneak is pleased to announce our new curation trail! We have been thinking hard about how to boost the reward we give to featured authors while maintaining a sustainable program. We have been investing a lot in post promotion to power up the account more quickly, but there is only so much one person can do!

Now you can support The Daily Sneak in rewarding the great content that we find. If you appreciate The Daily Sneak and the content that we highlight, consider following our curation trail on SteemAuto!

Every Steemian that chooses to follow our trail will be sponsored by @josephsavage for 1 share in SteemBasicIncome! Thank you so much to the 9 members that are currently in the trail!

Submission Requirements

On to the submission requirements for The Daily Sneak:

1. You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
2. All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
3. You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will not be accepted.
4. Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
5. We try to spread the love around, so while selections from authors that have been highlighted before are welcome, they might not be included if the author's last inclusion was recent. Similarly, if you include two articles from the same author in one submission, we will typically highlight only one of the two.
6. Be sure to include your personal bio for me to introduce you to readers, and make sure that each selection has commentary. This can be just a few sentences about why you think the selection is worth our attention, or what is great about it - something that will make people want to click through the headline and check out the actual article. English is preferred, but other languages will be considered as long as English translation is included.
7. Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
8. Including image links to the source article is not required (and we prefer to leave some mystery if photography is highlighted and the article has only one photo.) However, we like to include images in The Daily Sneak, and not including any image links may decrease the likelihood of your submissions being published.

If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen for several different reasons. If you are unsure why an article was cut, please review the submission guidelines again. If you are still unsure, feel free to ask politely why it was cut.

Submission Reward

A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 1 SBD for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 5 SBD for each accepted submission!

Right now @sneakyninja's upvote is not worth as much as we are paying for guest curation. Why do we pay so much for guest curation? We believe that quality curation is very important to Steem. Paying our curators well encourages them to spend more time reviewing content and picking out the best pieces!
