Can you believe that we are nominating the candidates for Running Author of the Week for the 6th consecutive week?! We are inviting you to be even more active with the voting this week, so we get as many votes from you as possible!

As explained in ''The Steem Running Project: Introductory Post'', approximately every week, a dedicated post will be written showing what, according to us, have been the 4 best Running Posts published from previous nomination post (last Saturday).

Readers of the post will vote which is the Running Author of the week who will be awarded (with part of the earnings of the same report).

• The main criteria we use in order to nominate the candidates is Quality and Originality of the Post, but nevertheless we will try to choose also posts done by Approved Runners which visibility is low due to, either, they are newcomers to the STEEM ecosystem and to the @runningproject initiative or, also authors that have not been nominated before.

• The ''Running Authors'' will be awarded with a portion of the 50% of the SBD earned on this post after 7 days of its publication, so all of them will be rewarded but just one will be the ''Author of the week''.

• The prize will be split as follows:

      ''Author of the week'': 70% 
      ''Consolation Prize'': 30% divided among the other authors.
  

A dedicated post will be published by @runningproject announcing the winner on following Friday (9th of March 2018).

HOW TO GET INVOLVED and BECOME an "Approved" Runner

The main milestone of the @runningproject now is to get as much STEEMPOWER as possible so the UPVOTE power will be growing day by day with the entrance of new members as well as because of the reinvestment of all the curation and the majority of the earnings produced on the post published by @runningproject .

In order to get enrolled you just need to do the following steps:

1. Write a comment in this post or any other from @runningproject with a link to one of your posts about running, requesting its review.

2. After checking your post, @runningproject will decide if you are or are not an "Approved" Runner. "Low quality" post will not be considered.

3. If you are definitely an "Approved" Runner, @runningproject will reply to you asking to send 1SBD or 1STEEM as an "Enrollment Fee."

4. You will be included in the "CURATION LIST"

The initial "Enrollment Fee" is entirely used as STEEM POWER. This fee, 1 SDB/STEEM, may increase in the future depending on the number of members and Market price.
Additional donations will be also fully invested in STEEM POWER.
