It is a contest in the sense that the earliest upvoter (theoretically an active Curator), gets the most weight assigned to their vote. This means a boost of 8 to 20 times the Curation Reward compared to their average upvote. This is enforced by the guaranteed boosts after set timeframes and the support from wealthier Steemians. For a detailed explanation check out the previous edition. Also, for a general overview of the mechanics of Curation, check out the Steem website.
I'd be happy to answer any more specific questions and hope to see you again in this thread!
Excactly! The people that Curate a lot have the greatest chance to be among the first to upvote and therefore get the greatest benifit. It actually has some similarities to the OCD Daily blog, in the sense that both project strive to increase content quality. While OCD is focusing on great Authors, the Curator Gem is to reward great Curators.
A few of these will be posted per week, depending on traction and support from wealthier Steemians, as these blogs are not breaking-even on author rewards obviously.

What do you think of the initiative?

Very welcome. Round 3 is now online, as well as a blog with a more detailed explanation.
