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 has become a big part of her Steem activities. She also loves making artwork and enjoys 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.

Hello Krakow

Everyone knows it's starting today: Steemfest! Not everyone will be there though, and I'm one of those Steemians at home that's eager to read and see all the pictures of those that are attending Steemfest. @gmuxx has kicked off his post about arriving in Krakow, and for me this was the first to read about the arrival of attendees. I hope you will keep us updated and share more pictures and stories... Not to forget, I wish you a great experience, enjoy!

The Girl Who Is Called Kulay Kahoy : Watercolor Painting and Step-by-step Tutorial

I was first looking at this article because of the artwork, which I find beautiful. It was nice to read the explanation about the meaning too. The 'girl of wood color' is the artist herself in this case. She loves those colors and makes amazing art using these colors with the watercolor paint. I'm curious to see more of your art in the future, thank you for sharing this with us @aalagenesis.

Surviving Life

Even though the message in this post isn't that positive, I find the artwork amazing. @sanderjansenart always manages to make artworks with great details, and although I know he's struggling with personal issues, I would love to let him know that he will be missed in his absence, and highlight his post. You are a valued Steem member to many of us!

Shayana

This is another amazing artwork I want to present today; the colors used for the unicorn are in my opinion truly beautiful. I love how you've used the art nouveau color palette, it really suits the theme well. Really amazing how you've managed to blend these blue colours together. I love this work! Thanks for sharing @artbynadine.

Mother's Day is nearing and I have a new postcard 😻

This postcard is made by @andrianna and while the owls caught my attention (because I adore them), I was pleased to read about her dedication to what she's doing. She explains that she's madly in love with what she's doing, and that this will be shown in her artworks to the future customers. I I can only agree to this, your love and dedication will make your business a success. Keep making these neat postcards, because I adore your style and will come back to your posts for sure.

Conclusion

I really enjoyed these amazing commentary and selections from @anouk.nox. I really appreciate the rise of great artistic expression that I've seen on Steem lately! For submitting these excellent articles and commentary, @anouk.nox earns 5 SBD.

Each of these highlighted articles receives full upvotes and resteems from @thedailysneak. In addition, @thedailysneak sponsors featured writers for Steem Basic Income!

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!
