(Image credits: @dimitrisp)
In an attempt to shed more light on greek quality authors in Steemit, we have launched a new collaborative series "Greek Steemian Of The Week". Every week one author will be featured in a post. We need each other's support to grow together bigger and stronger!
No more blah blah then, let's see who is this week's author of value...

@mariossap
A runner, a photographer, an ultimate human "troll"! @mariossap has brought tears in our eyes numerous times with his hilarious original memes! Thanks to him I don't do ab crunches at the gym anymore! He has also given us some wonderful posts with his running getaways and competitions he has taken part. Keep up doing what you love @mariossap!

Our favorite post for this week is:
My entry for "It's all Greek to me(me)" contest! by @dimitrisp
Another meme we loved! I think this competition already has a winner!!
You definitely need to check out his blog, this Greek guy is not afraid to expose himself and will cheer you up with his humorous attitude!
GREEK STEEMIAN CONTEST #1: Photography week
Since the Greek community is slowly becoming bigger, I'd like to get you a little bit more involved. With the help of @dimitrisp we're launching a new contest.
Contest and rules:
- This week we want you to give us your best photo! Since lots of you have artistic interests, we want one breathtaking shot of yours! A picture that depicts your personality, a strong emotion, a situation that needs our attention... Anything original (the photo must be yours) is eligible. You have also the opportunity to process the picture anyway you like it (just no nudes and NSFW, please).
- Accompany your shot with a few words, what does the picture mean to you and why you think it's one of your best.
- Interact with each other! We want to see you care for other participants too! You will give us the winner! Upvote the entries you like, comment on them, get to know people you haven't seen yet on the platform. A simple linkdrop with zero human interaction will be disqualified from the contest.
- The contest starts today and entries will be submitted until next Sunday, 12:00 (a few hours before this post expires).
- Winners will be announced shortly after this post expires.
- Upvote and resteem this post, so more members of the community see it.
- Winners will be determined by the amount of non-bot upvotes and support in the comments.
Note: since the contest is within the Greek community members, only Greek steemians will be eligible, any other user that wants to take part, won't be considered in the judging process (sorry guys, it's not racist, it's just a priority of the project). However we encourage you to vote and help pick the best entries as winners!
Reward pool and prizes:
The SBD from the "Greek Steemian Of The Week" posts @dimitrisp and I, @ruth-girl, have made. Basically, you'll get to benefit from the support you show to us and the community!
- 1st place gets: 8.5 SBD (from my post rewards)
- 2nd place gets: 5.5 SBD (from @dimitrisp's post rewards)
- 3rd place gets: 3 SBD (from @dimitrisp's post rewards)
Help our fellows in the Greek Community!
Our @trumpman has started a weekly effort to fund the @greek-trail. If you please, support his post with your upvote, all SBD earnings will go the official account of the Greek community. When the team is stronger, we are too!
Help Me Fund The Guys Behind @Greek-Trail! - Part 4
Another great Greek Steemian, @meanmommy33, went all the way to Lisbon to attend the SteemFest and came back with lots of energy and new ideas. One of our next projects is to raise awareness on Steemit among women (but we're not confined to women only). Brainstorming has just begun, if you want to take part, check this post:
Following from last week, we have the second part of a new contest within the Greek community launched by @dimitrisp. Rewards will be used to fund the @greek-trail. For more info check the contest post below:
[Contest]: It's all Greek to me(me)!
Also, our @dimitrisp, could use your support as a witness. Please, spare a minute and drop him a vote! Thank you!

That's all folks! Hope to see you again soon!! :D
A bit before the cut but I made it as promised!
I am posting here one of my latest pictures (I can't really choose my 'best' because I am a professional photographer - kinda hard to do!), from my latest vacation in Greece with @creutzy, in Halkidiki, where I captured the Full Moon (the 6th of September) with the Mount Athos on the background. Blue as it was, not 'blue' at all while there, the opposite - as happy as possible! It's not about the art or the photography as such, but mostly about the emotions and the feelings 'swimming' in this picture!
Also, it got featured at the Art Exhibition of Steemians (Art at SteemFest) in Lisbon - right next to @creutzy's <3 by chance!!! [because they were both blue! I chose Greece, he chose Copenhagen - both places we love and call 'home'] :D Enjoy you guys !!!!
Lovely shot! Thank you for taking part! :)
Oh my, this is awesome!!!
Thank you @dreamiely ! :D
