I am pleased to announce two more recipients for the Steemit Star! Both of these recipients were nominated by other Steemians for their interactions in the Steemit community.

I try to use the Steemians signature graphic for the trophy head when applicable. If they have no signature graphic I attempt to contact them so that I may make the trophy head unique to them. If I am unable to use these two options I have no alternative but to award the original design for the Steemit Star to them.

@surpassinggoogle

@surpassinggoogle was brought to my attention by a nomination from @chiama. From the moment I viewed his blog I was sure it was a good choice. He is promotional in new users on Steemit by way of resteems and upvotes on their introduction posts. He is also very involved with #steemgigs as well as many other initiatives to help Steemit and the Steem blockchain become a force in the world of cryptocurrency. Have a look at his blog to get behind these initiatives. He also has the address where you can vote him as witness if you so choose. Congratulations to @surpassinggoogle! He is a Steemit Star!

@sjennon

@sjennon was nominated by @yesaye. She has found an interesting way to use her voting power to support minnows. Each week she makes a support post then chooses three minnows from that post to receive her upvote for every post that week. What's the catch? (her words)Nothing. All you have to do is comment to this (weeks) post that you want to nominate yourself, and I shall check out your profile! Why?(her words)Why not! If you are a minnow who feels undervalued have a look at her blog. Congratulations to @sjennon! She is a Steemit Star!

I will contact the two award winners in replies to their most current posts and link them to this presentation post to accept their trophy. They can download the gif and put it on their own image hosting site. At post payout for this post I will remove the images from my imgur page and the trophy will become the sole property of the recipient to use as they see fit. Congratulations to both new Steemit Stars!!

If you know of these Steemians you can inform them of their win. It gives them a greater opportunity to accept and receive their trophy. THANK YOU!

Everybody who comes to Steemit has received encouragement and guidance from others who already know the ropes. They help to make this fantastic community grow and be a wonderful place for people to share with each other. Now I am asking for your help, fellow Steemians, in identifying and rewarding those individuals. Nominate people who you think exemplify the Steemit way. There are two ways you can nominate individuals/groups:
1 - Simply make a reply to any post on my blog
with your nomination.
OR
2 - Create a post for your nomination using the
#steemitstar tag and explain why you considered
them for the award.
I suggest creating a post of your nomination. It will help to gain support for the nominee by offering them to a wider audience and it will help to plump your value here on Steemit. Your choice. Both are viable.
