CLOSED - Week 37 - Pay It Forward Curation Contest
The Pay It Forward Curation Contest is all about increasing exposure for high quality posts and increase the level of engagement on steemit. You can take part by entering the contest or just helping visit the entries and their featured posts. Everyone chooses their level of involvement and we appreciate the efforts of everyone who helps promote quality content on Steemit.
Make sure to check back to this post often and scroll to the end to see a list of this week's curation entries!
How to Enter the Pay It Forward Curation Contest?
To enter the Curation Contest you will find 2 high quality blog posts written by reputation level 55 or lower steemians and then write a curation style blog post like this entry by @viking-ventures from week 16 which won a Judges Choice Award. The idea is to highlight both posts and why you thought they were high quality.
| To be clear the Level 55 max is only for the bloggers who are featured, anyone may submit a curation entry. |
|---|
Rules:
- Curation Style Post that highlights your 2 featured blog posts.
- Link to the high quality blog posts in your curation post. Keep in mind that many will follow this link and upvote so pick a post that isn't close to payout!
- Include a link to this contest in your entry post
- The 2 bloggers you curate need to be rank 55 or below
- You need to comment on this post with a link to your post, this is how we track everything!
👉👉Clarification for Quality Required for valid Entry👈👈
We are looking for Quality Original Content and that post spells out what that means. If you are new please read it.
No less then 200 words of original written content. So a single photo is fine as long as there is 200 words with it. 200 words is about 12 lines of content.
** Art posts that show at least 3 steps of progression will not need to have 200 words of content, but still attempt to explain their art. Please use some common sense here.
Posts from Parley and dmania are not acceptable.

3 entries so far... and yours is my favourite! Well done, @chekohler!
Thanks I really appreciate it :) I enjoy this weekly challenge
Entry #1
Hey, I'm happy to participate again! Here's my curation-style post to enter the contest: https://steemit.com/payitforward/@stortebeker/look-what-i-found-on-the-sustainability-front
By the way, I assume time-frame is a week later than what it says here, since this post was published AFTER the stated deadline. No worries though, I understand.
Entry #12
The first one with a functioning marketplace using Steem and SBD as a payment option is great! Will order some candles and honey early next year from there. Very cool to see this!
What a couple of great choices, sir! I've followed @homesteaderscoop, too! :-)
Thank you @trincowski, that means my post has done its job!
Here is my week 37 entry: https://steemit.com/payitforward/@zorank/pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-37
Thanks! I thought you were the first, but I see you were beaten by @aggamun and chekohler! Ah ah ah! 😂
Yeah, I thought I was first, too, when I submitted the link. -:) When I saw entry by @chekohler and his comment, that he was the first, I almost wrote him an angry 😡 reply. Then I realized his entry is actually older then mine. I have left the post open and not refreshed the page in my browser so I assumed I was the first. But of course blockchain time data does not lie. Ah ah ah! 😂
LOL i know the feeling I felt like that last week as i clicked post i saw @aggamun was first and i was so bummed so I was determined to be first this week! :)
