This curation contest is open to everyone and runs for 1 week ending at post payout! The main focus is to help smaller members gain extra visibility and rewards for their efforts.

This contest is evolving and because of the great feedback everyone has provided in your comments, on discord, and even in your posts we are making a couple changes to help make this contest easier for smaller members to participate. We are also adding a little skill into the reward mix with MORE winners awarded!

Week 3 Overview & Rules - CHANGES MADE!
