Conclusion

I hope you enjoyed these great selections from @ecoinstant. For submitting these great selections, @ecoinstant earns 8 SBD today.

Each of these highlighted articles receives full upvotes and resteems from @sneakyninja. As an added bonus, @sneakyninja sponsor featured writers for Steem Basic Income!

Submission Requirements

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 also not be accepted.
4. Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak. 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.
5. 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.
6. Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1

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 if you choose an author that was recently highlighted in The Daily Sneak, if another submission curates your same choices and is published before yours, or if the editors do not accept the quality of your submissions.

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 2 SBD for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 10 SBD for each accepted submission!

Right now @sneakyninja's upvote is not worth as much as we are paying for guest curation, even with today's change to the reward. 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. We hope that they will spend some of the SBD earnings to power up- but it's their choice.
