Welcome to The Daily Sneak!!!

We reward quality content, AND content curators! 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 @anouk.nox.

Although Anouk finds herself a writer at first, curating is becoming a bigger part of her Steem activities every day. She also loves making artworks and can enjoy listening to music a lot. Being active in several communities means she comes across a lot of different posts, and she tries to get many undervalued authors rewarded by giving them extra exposure.

Music: The musical alphabet - What are yours ?

This is such a cool idea, @verhp11 has made a musical alphabet including videos of the songs he chose. I first thought there may be only a few in this post, but he made one post of the entire alphabet! So lots of reading, clicking and don't forget listening to do here! What's your musical alphabet?

Healthy Eating | Spirulina Green Smoothie

I love smoothies, and looking at this picture made me want to make a smoothie! The pictures simply call you to prepare one. They look stunning! I never made a smoothie similar to this, and didn't even know what spirulina was until I read this post. Maybe it will inspire the other readers to make one like this too. Thank you to @birdsinparadise for sharing; I will hunt down the ingredients soon to try this recipe!

The Historic City of York - Barley Hall & The Golden Fleece

A nice photo report about the ancient city of York. This post doesn't only have the pictures, but you can also learn a lot about @raj808's visit to the city. I've never been there myself, but I did enjoy reading this post! Thank you for taking the time to make this post!

🎨 Sparrow Keeper / watercolor step by step

@jungwatercolor always makes amazing artwork, inspired by the patterns from the far east.. and I can't blame this artist, because they make beautiful things over there. This artwork is another detailed work that already found a new owner. Please keep sharing your works on Steem, I really enjoy them!

Before you start reading this third part of the story, if you didn't read part 1 and two, please read them first. Amir started to write this story for the Halloween themed Comedyopenmic contest. Hopefully everyone will laugh just as hard as I did reading it. Thanks @amirtheawesome1 for your huge dedication to @comedyopenmic every single week!

Conclusion

Amazing commentary and selections from @anouk.nox. For submitting these excellent articles and commentary, @anouk.nox earns 5 SBD.

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. We also check for plagiarism and only highlight original content.
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 @thedailysneak'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!
