Remember the max current rewards for a post at the time you feature them is $2. The idea is to find undervalued posts which are high quality and deserve additional earnings and attention.

This week please make sure to tag @pifc in all comments made on featured posts. Going to try and watch the comments and reward the good ones with upvotes. Know that rewards isn't the main reason everyone does this, but helping grow your accounts in turn allows you to help others even further.



The Pay It Forward Curation Contest is all about increasing exposure for undervalued 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! This list is updated on a regular basis to help make it easy for you to visit the entries and help support the great content that has been curated.


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 65 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 65 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 undervalued (less then $2 earnings at time of featuring) 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 65 or below
  • You need to comment on this post with a link to your post, this is how we track everything
  • You must Upvote and Comment on the posts you are featuring

👉👉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.

(Using MB account since SBI for some reason is upvoting all comments for PIFC)

"... since SBI for some reason is upvoting all comments for PIFC"

Once your SBI shares reach a certain level @pifc / @thedarkhorse, that is what happens. Presumably to make sure you are getting full value for your shares.

At least it does on my account ...

It's a bug and Joe is looking into it. The reason you are getting a vote for your comments is you aren't posting at lease once a week. When you go over a week and have a high balance it will shift over to voting on your comments. For some reason the system changed our last post to show as over a week ago and triggered the comment voting. Joe manually triggered the vote on the post for us which it skipped. So to not drain all of our banked votes I figured making comments from some of the other accounts made sense.

Okay, @thedarkhorse, good to know. I have experienced both and had no concern about it, so assumed it was due to my rising SBI shares ...

Thanks!
