Nominate Deserving New Users for a 40 Steem Powerup! [Total 150 Steem Powerup Giveaway!]
We've made it!!!!!
The Final Round of the Welcoming Contest is HERE!!!
Last Round we were seeking out new users to welcome, encourage, and share some helpful information with.
Big thanks to: @isteemithard, @mashiliyanage, @deevi, @doodlebear, @phoenix1947, @josediccus, @thankgodikkc, @kay1, @charitybot, @ediah, and @theprettysoul for participating in the welcoming activities. Hopefully, we are all going to put more time into welcoming new users, and now we have a bunch of resources and ideas on how best to do it :)
For the final round, we are looking for the most deserving new users. In order to help them grow, gain some exposure, and have less issues with bandwidth:
The winners of this round will recieve 40 steem, powered up directly into their account.
Rules
- The user will be on Steem for less than 3 months.
- Will have less than 150sp (not counting delegations)
- They will be creating quality content
- Properly formatted posts with good spelling and grammar
- Using references for images and sources of information.
- If the user is an artist they have pictures or video showing their work, not just a single image of their work as the post.
- They have begun to participate in some of our discord communities.
- They are active commenting on other people's blogs
Nominate no more than 3 people, but if you really want someone to win, perhaps spend more time making a case for an individual. The nominators effort in offering compelling reasons why their nominee should be awarded will be considered in the final judgement.
1 bounty maximum awarded per nominator. Nominating multiple people, doesn't give you a chance at multiple bounties.
If you agree with someone elses nomination, please comment and say why you agree with that nomination. User comments and votes will be taken into consideration, but will not have the final say in the contest.
Top 2 prizes 40 Steem Powerup with 10 Steem Power up for the nominator

I've added a little bit to the pot here and there, so by the time this round is over, we'll have a total prize pool of 775 Steem plus a generous delegation from @swelker101!!

First Nomination
I nominate @charm29.. She's an artist and she post about life stuff most times. Some days ago she was faced with the bandwidth issue,where she couldn't post, comment or claim rewards. It was frustrating. With the 40 steem power she will be able to carry out her steemit activities without any hitches.
Second Nomination
I nominate @kingeazi... An artiste with great potentials and ready to explore steemit. The bandwidth issue also affected him and he couldn't post some his musics until after some days. The delegation will go a long way helping him and to avoid stress.
Third Nomination
My third nomination is @gracehills. He's also consistent and write quality posts. He writes more on christian topic. He also has a mind to help fellow steemians learn more about steemit.
These are my three nominations, I hope you consider them.
P. S - I just added the third guy.
Yes this nomination is topnotch... I agree with this.
@inquiringtimes, I support @hornblende's nomination. These nominees have been doing well on their blog and engaging with the community. They truly deserve this.
I agreed. I nominate @charm29 and @kingeazi. This will really help them a lot
Why not add more since you can pick 3
Yep they really deserve it
Yeesssss i nominate @charm29 and @kingezi
Just checked their blog ....
They really deserve it💯💯
I really support your nomination.
I know @charm29 and @gracehills too well and they're always working hard and contributing to Steemit.
I concur with @hornblende; charm and kingeazi are very deserving of this.
Yes, I agree with my comrades. @charm29 writes fantastically well, @kingezi and @gracehills are very active members with the right dose of passion.
Yeah, @charm29 and @kingeazi are prolific members of this community. They deserve this nomination because it will enhance the value they deliver to this platform.
I agree with @hornblende, @charm29 and @gracehills deserves this steem power, because they are both consistent on steemit.
@charm29 i would have nominate, and kingeazi is also exceptional, 40 steem should be able to widen their horizon... So @ hornblende made the perfect choice
Yes @charm29 and @kingeazi are both consistent and doing pretty well on their blogs and I can always stand for them anywhere that they both still have great innovations here on Steemit.
They are doing pretty well..i nominate them also.
I will go with this nomination
Great to be mentioned it such a positive post.
Here are my 3 nominations for Deserving New Steemit Users
@beveryting this user just joined a few days ago and is just starting out and already doing a good job with a nice #introducyourself post including some personal information an original photo holding his username and some personal information about sailing all over the world. This user has also already begun to enter in some of the many #contest steemit has to offer that are not only fun but rewarding. This new user is also been engaging others posts and responding to comments and replies.
@aislingcronin is a brand new user that just joined steemit only 2 days ago but had a great introduction post that was well written included lots of personal details and information about her acting and some nice photos. Although this user is just getting started she already got a great response on her introduction post and was nice enough to thank me for an old post that helped her get started https://steemit.com/steemit/@isteemithard/how-to-upload-a-profile-picture-and-or-cover-image-to-your-steemit-account#@aislingcronin/re-isteemithard-how-to-upload-a-profile-picture-and-or-cover-image-to-your-steemit-account-20180202t222652018z
@davidshaw I am nominating this user because he is doing a good job at showing sometimes the first post doesn't always get the response you may have thought but that doesn't mean you should give up. This user had a rough start with a #introduceyourself post that did not get much response in the way of views or upvotes $0.00, but rather than get discouraged and give up this new user did some research and figured out some things that were missing and some ways to add more content photos and information and got 100% more upvotes with $1.00 on the new intro here https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@davidshaw/remaking-introduce-yourself-and-10-tips-and-tricks-i-learned-so-far
I would like to noinate:
@dflo she is a new user who just joined in December, she makes great art/poetry blogs and is very active on the PAL discord and I've invited her to Slothicorn of course :p
@jfolkmann is also pretty new, he joined in December and is also active on PAL and just joined slothicorn as well. He's a photographer who makes beautiful photo stories and has joined us as an msp curator!
Last person I want to nominate is @liberviarum, he just joined in January and has taken it upon himself to be very present in our #help channel answering questions all day! And he only has around 15sp
I support your nomination for @davemccoy .He has really been of great help to the newbies, he dedicates so much time helping out, which gave birth to the idea of the #newbieresteem initiative. he really deserves to win.
I agree on @davemccoy. His dedication is admirable: he is supporting so many red fish and Minnows that he would reallly deserve this
Thanks for supporting @davemccoy in this also. Every vote counts
I nominate @sabas. Though she's friend of mine but this is not the reason I am nominating her. She made an account in August, 2017 but posted her first post 19 days ago. She's a Psychologist by profession, a newbie in the photography field and has some fantastic writing skills. You can check her introductory post to get an idea about the quality content she would be sharing here.
Okay, if she wins, add the nominator's SP (My prize) in her delegation as well!
Can I make a case for @alumhydro? He's an amazing content creator, however he's been on steemit since September but got active in November, I'm only making. Case because he is an amazing content creator really
Science I tell you, very undervalued
I nominate @thaicryptokitty. She works, goes to school, takes extra classes in English and Photography and still tries to get a post out usually every day. She is a Thai girl who speaks 3 languages and is introducing Steemit to all of her friends. I am sure she has gotten 15 people to join since she joined. She will also do a gathering here in Thailand before the summer. And she has only been on the platform for less than 30 days. She is working on a travel series (she posted the first one) and a series about Thailand now that she will begin to post. Very hard worker, learns fast and is very committed to put the work in to make Steemit successful. She is a friend obviously and I got her to join, and she is going to be a Whale here for sure. Take a look at this post which is the travel series she is doing. https://steemit.com/love/@thaicryptokitty/fantasy-travel-series-1-the-top-5-most-romantic-beach-wedding-locations-in-southeast-asia. Her writing on the post, and English is not her first language. She checks it to get things perfect. Thanks.
Thanks @inquiringtimes for putting up a support scheme like this
My first nomination goes to @chidiarua, he's a good fiction writer, He's been giving to the steemit community through his posts on tips on writing. It saddens my heart to see lovely and well written stories not appreciated or undervalued.
My second nomination goes to @divineinyang, a poet and a story writer. I feel his posts deserve to be appreciated.
Thanks a lot, Esther... This little boy loves you..
Hello there!
I hereby want to nominate @shinyforest, @bluedemon and @ddua
Thanks a lot for the nomination =) @spiritualmax
You're welcome! You deserve it!
Thank you @spiritualmax, I'm very humbled by your nomination! Tbh you're going to be one of my nominees, too ;) I'm amazed with your progress here on Steemit, it's just incredible.
All the best,
Klaudia
Hey Klaudia
Glad you also like my stuff... how nice of you to come and thank me, you earned yourself a new follower :)
Firstly i want to thank @inquiringtimes for the contest thus far, you really are a rare gem both here and on discord, I believe i speak for all the minnows when i say THANK YOU!!!.
It hurts to see that this is the final round of the most educative contest on steemit... if you have been following the contest, you will see that there is just so much to learn.
it is extraordinary that you have rewarded 125 users with a whooping sum of 615 steem, rewards that serve as motivation and a form of encouragement, you are the reason some of us are still here on the platform working hard and diligently
For the nominations, it took me time and devotion to find a deserving user, as always i had to put my heart into this.
FIRST NOMINATION
I nominate @rasamuel. a prolific content creator, poet, writer this user is really a "all in one package" coupled with the vast knowledge of how the platform works, @rasamuel tends to transfer such knowledge to other minnows, after-all, this contest is all about helping minnows.
A consistent and prolific steemian who writes quality, educative and properly formatted post with good spelling and grammar, you can find proof of this in his blog

@rasamuel in fiction...getting home a sentimental journey
@rasamuel is frequent on discord, part of the ever growing community DIE HARD STEEMIT. https://discord.gg/4yHGknh
rasamuel joined the steemit platform December, barely 2 months ago and even with the presense of difficult obstacles e.g (bandwith allocation) he still prevails, rasamuel is the author of the 8sbd proof of good relationship contest. i recommend all minnows to check it out and win free sbd courtesy of @rasamuel
@rasamuel in proof of good relationship 8sbd contest
CONCLUSION
With a steem power of 43.839 ( as at the time of this post) @rasamuel has been able to do quite a lot for the platform and on discord . This user deserves the prize that this contest has to offer, so he can continue to empower other minnows into reaching great heights
