My nominations

BEST AUTHOR
I think this is the hardest category to choose and nominate just 1 person among thousands of other good authors. I know that to choose the only one is hard. As a social media manager of Steem Skillshare I can nominate really many good authors of this Community. But I will choose only one and hope the others can understand it. I am nominating @talk.chinese .

I think this person really loves to teach Chinese. I feel that the post are written not just to get upvotes. They are really interesting even for people who doesn't learn Chinese. @talk.chinese is an author and a teacher who share valuable knowledge and does it professionally. The posts are always visually attractive.

BEST COMMUNITY - STEEM SKILLSHARE

Steem Skillshare Community supports all active users. The Community Account is always club 100. The community is focused on quality and interesting content that can be useful for professionals and learners. The Team is professional and supportive. They support delegators and recently the curation trail was launched. The payout is high and the team was just increased. I think it's a unique community who tries to set goals and achieve them.

BEST CONTRIBUTOR TO THE COMMUNITY

I think @milakz must be chosen as a best contributor to the community and steemit in general. She is very inspiring figure on Steemit. She decided to change her physical shop into Steemit logo and brought new users through direct advertising.

I think she is very loyal to her community and the platform in general. All members of Steem Skillshare look at her as an example of a person who is ready to transform Steemit into a big part of her life. Steem Skillshare is a Community that has a great potential in attracting users with skills and talents. Online learning is a global trend and @milakz is promoting it on Steemit. I think she truly deserves to win this nomination. ❤
