Welcome to the 65th Edition of the Daily Qurator. Below you will find some awesome members of @qurator that worked hard to post some good quality content for all you awesome Steemians to enjoy!

The @qurator project was created to help give Steemians some extra exposure and awesome upvotes currently worth around $0.04 - $0.40!

Note: some of you have been curated twice since the start of the daily qurator and some have been curated only once. As the daily qurator is gaining fame with every passing day, many new steemians are asking/will ask to join us. So, expect to see posts from new users for now. When the opportunity arises, posts from older users will be curated once again

*What contests add to Steemit?,
What do you expect from a contest which you participate in?, and
How to make a contest worthwhile for others to participate?

Drawing Challenge#10 - The Magical Hat

Speaking of contests, most of our talented Qurites either participate in contests or make them. In his last post, our new friend @silentsoularts is participating in the #Drawing Challenge 10 contest initiated by @helene which has the "Hat" as the new theme

This drawing by @silentsoularts is made digitally and he shows a step by step of "How to?" in his post.

If you would like to join the contest as well, check it out Here

Let's all welcome @silentsoularts as a new Qurite in our @qurator family and wish him good luck in the contest :D

National Taichung Theatre Tutu Gallery

Our new friend @livinguktaiwan is living in Taiwan (no pun intended) and is writing a post to introduce us to the National Taichung Theatre (NTT) and its magnificent architecture. This time from the inside

I quote @livinguktaiwan's words while describing the picture above...

"The sound cave concept can be seen throughout the building including the foyer outside the Grand Theatre. There is hardly a main vertical wall in sight, as they have all been replaced with dynamic curve walls, like somebody has blown hard into the building creating a tunnel of caves. It's quite weird to walk around a massive cave knowing that you're actually in a modern day building."

Let's all welcome our new Qurite, @livinguktaiwan to our @qurator family and thank her for showing us the beautiful architecture of National Taichung Theatre (NTT) :D

@karlin	spanish

Fotografía tomada en el momento exacto #6

I had no idea what @karlin says in her post as I don't speak Spanish. However, the beauty of art and photography doesn't need a specific language to be understood.

While I was checking posts to curate and stumbled upon @karlin's post, the photograph spoke to me. I had to look into it more intently to decipher whether it was a drawing or photography made to look like a drawing. The dog's tongue looked real, so I decided it must be an artistic way of photography which makes things look as if they were painted by a talented artist.

The name of this photograph is "Su nombre es Floppy " (if I am correct that is)

Let's all officially welcome @karlin as a new Qurite member in our @qurator family and thank her for sharing her beautiful photography with us :D

A Modest Proposal: My Thoughts on Budget Proposals

Our last featured post of today's Daily Qurator is more on the serious side of topics related to Steemit/Steem. In his post, our friend @josephsavage mentions a post that was written by @jerrybanfield and edited by non-other than our Lexi-Qurite @lexiconical, Steem Budget Proposal

However, @josephsavage doesnt only mention the proposal, but summarize it in short format and adds to it his 2 cents opinion and analysis.

@josephsavage is looking forward to more comments and involvement from steemians to have a constructive discussion that is related and will become beneficial to everyone of us.

So Qurites, its time to get involved on bigger steemit projects and become a force that will be taken seriously to change some of the crappy steemit behaviors into better ones. We can make our future (and everyone else's) brighter so let's start :D

Let's all thank our new Qurite @josephsavage for his informative post and welcome him to the best steemian group ever existed, the @qurator family :D

Streemian Trail Account is here!

You may have noticed that your upvotes from @qurator packed a little bigger punch! @gingerninja, @scrooger and @ethandsmith are now trailing the @qurator account and will be sending you some extra upvotes from our side as well. It's not much but every upvote counts!

You can also follow the trail and send upvotes to fellow Qurator members when @qurator upvotes them. To set up a Streemian account only takes a few minutes and is a great way to earn some extra curation.

You can follow this GUIDE to set up your Streemian account.

After setting up your account you can follow this trail on Streemian:

https://streemian.com/profile/curationtrail/trailing/817

We suggest NOT following the trail at 100% since we do not want to drain too much of your precious voting power. Play around with your percentage and if you see your voting power being drained too much you can simply lower your % in Streemian. If you have a lot of voting power to spare you can consider a larger %.

If you need any help or have questions come visit our #support channel on Discord.
