My Entry for Week 21 - Pay It Forward Curation Contest
My Entry for the Pay-it-Forward Curation Contest - Week 21
Being a new Steemian myself, I understand it is very easy to get lost, feel demotivated after putting so many efforts, and I think a little appreciation can help a new one to keep going and work harder for the next time. I have been extremely lucky and feel honored to be featured in the last week Pay it Forward Curation Contest and would like to thank @delishtreats @viking-ventures , @ecoinstant and @lynncoyle1 for their support and love and I feel it is now my chance to give something back.
This contest is by @pifc you can check out more details here: https://steemit.com/payitforward/@pifc/week-21-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-24004f43615b1est
So Here are my entries:
Entry 1- @feoluwart
Reputation- 49
I have recently come across her work, and what an amazing artist she is. Her recent post "Tranquility" where she says I want to let my feelings reflect my writing which in turn reflects my art.
Featuring Post -"Tranquility"

She is a self-taught artist and also loves to write poems and stories. I personally have become a fan of her artistic skills, and will surely learn a lot from her, I am sure she will do great on this platform. She uses Hyperrealism as her art form, where the line between reality and art is practically erased. I feel it is one of the most challenging art forms.
She has already been noticed by curie for her artwork, but she deserves more upvotes and love from our community.
Entry 2 - @haritakurdu

Featuring Post - The Very First Surf Attempt In Muizenberg
https://steemit.com/travelfeed/@haritakurdu/the-very-first-surf-attempt-in-muizenberg
His recent blog The Very First Surf Attempt In Muizenberg- where he has beautifully compiled his first surfing experience in freezing cold Atlantic ocean with some cool iconic colorful cabin photographs.
He says – I have traveled to 17 countries so far and tried to identify a country by going to many cities as much as I can, instead of looking at the capital.
Entry 3. (Bonus 3rd Blogger!) - @xcountytravelers
Reputation – 28
The Steemit name says everything about them- Scott and Ren are travelers from the United States who plans to travels all 3144 counties, out of it they have already explored 438 counties and have 2,706 counties to go!
They want to see the United States, but also want to take their own time to explore the place, its history, culture, and people
They say- We find adventure as we drive off the pavement onto the gravel roads showing us the true character of each county we pass through.
They have their own websites where they blog about their travel experiences with some amazing photography and videos. Website
If you love to travel and are a fan of road trips then do check out their posts and follow, they really deserve some upvotes and recognition.
Featuring Post - Staying Flexible

Their latest post- Staying Flexible talks about their random plans and love for astronomy. Also, I loved reading how the couple supports each other's interest. Have a look at the post, its worth a read and upvote.

That's great to hear @itravelarts 😅
Oh, my goodness! First, thank you for your kind words. We both appreciate them. We have found so much support and encouragement here. Because of that we dont qant to harm anyone with our votes. From what im reading, a low reputation can lower a persons vote causing it not to be all that good. I want to do what you all are doing, but i dont want a low value vote to give them less. Does that make sense.
Also, i am assuming the votes only count for a specific amount of time. I so confused with all the voting. I really just want to write posts, make videos and encourage people to get out of their comfort zone and do new things, meet new people, and celebrate new cultures.
Thanks so much, again. Ren
Hi, I am new to this community as well, just started 2 months back. From what I understand is no one can be harmed by anyone's vote, also your voting power increases when you get higher reputation, which can be achieved by posting blogs and , voting ,commenting on other people's blogs. I am sure other senior members can help you more with this.
For the other part, the voting power also decreases when you vote more frequently, which you can gain back after a bit of time of not voting. You can see Steemd site to check for your voting power..
Use dlive to post your videos, it's helpful .
I love your posts,, and this reminds me I need to check your latest ones.. Thank you for stopping by.. It can be bit confusing, I am still learning but it's a great platform.
Keep spreading love and keep traveling
Love and hugs

Thanks for your entry, @itravelarts! I upvoted both of your choices.
Please don't forget to fix the link for @haritakurdu as it's wrong...
Also, your Bonus Blogger doesn't fit what was asked. His post doesn't include the #introduceyourself tag. You'll probably be asked to replace it with another entry.
@trincowski Thank you ..really appreciate it..
and fixed the link..
will try and check again for the bonus blogger :)
I still have to check all the entries...
Hi @itravelarts. I have supported all your three featured articles. I am just so surprised to see @xcountytravelers reputation score of 47 when it is 28 as you capture on your post. That was 19 notches up in three days! Way to go!
Thank you @macoolette
They have some amazing posts and deserve more appreciations. .. @xcountytravelers was picked by Curie just after I submitted thr name in the entry.. I am so happy for that. 😍

That only means the article is really good.
You're welcome. 😊
I know @macoolette, we are so surprised! It is because of people like @itravelarts @xposed and Curie.. We could not have done it ourselves.
That is really amazing! 👏😀
wish you luck @itravelrts, I will come back to check all the bloggers later
Thank you @el-nailul
