Hello Steem Silver Gold

You might have noticed IT'S CONTEST TIME!

Just a few short hours ago @ssg-community released a contest where YOU can win a Steem Round.

This was made possible via the generous sponsorship of @smooth. He shared the steem to cover the cost of 10 rounds and their shipment across the globe. Thank you @smooth! We are so grateful for the opportunity to run this contest.

^{The 2019 round designed by @edxserverus}

Now, I think it is important to cover the rules of entry one more time.

From the original contest post:

How can you win the 2019 round?

Community is the name of the game. We would like YOU to nominate ONE PERSON who you believe exemplifies the BEST of the Steem blockchain. Tell us what makes this person special to you and why you believe they deserve a 2019 Steem Round. Are they generous? Do their posts inspire you to stay on the blockchain? Did they get you an account on Steem or did their actions impact you in a very special way? Tell us their story and YOU and YOUR NOMINEE will be entered for a chance to win!

RULES:

• Each entrant may submit ONLY ONE nomination.
• Individuals may be nominated more than once.
• Entrants should compose a nomination post with a minimum of 500 words and place a link to the nomination in the comments of this post. Please use the tag #steemroundgiveaway on said post.
• The nomination period will close in seven days at post payout.
• Nominations failing to meet the requirements will be disqualified.
• Five winning entries will be selected by the panel of judges (@soyrosa, @newageinv and @dfinney) with entrant and nominee each receiving one Steem Round mailed world wide free of charge.
• Entrants and nominees agree to share their postal details with @raybrockman to facilitate delivery of the rounds.
• Winners will be announced within 48 hours of post close.

I hope everyone enters, and I wish you all good luck!

Help the community, help yourself!

There are TWO ways to get a community supported votes here at Steem Silver Gold. One is via the @myprecious curation trail, the other is via the @ssg-community subscription bot (which is also confusingly referred to as Precious the Silver Mermaid). Here is a run down of each for our new members and a refresher for the vets.

1. Join the Steem Silver Gold curation trail - HERE

The community curation trail up votes every member of Steem Silver Gold (unless a member requests otherwise). 25 accounts currently follow the trail. You will see the @myprecious vote appear on one of your posts each day after 6 minutes. (I updated the vote's timing in line with the changes made since hardfork 21.) 25 other votes are tied to that one! Thank you to everyone on the trail!

Members may also choose to delegate to @myprecious. There is no membership requirement to delegate, but it is a selfless way to support the entire community. There are currently 18 delegators to this account. The delegators include: @monsterjamgold, @silversaver888, @bauloewe, @enginewitty, @ronaldoavelino, @tbnfl4sun, @dkid14, @silverstackeruk, @handofzara, @edthecanadian, @fat-elvis, @dfinney, @thesilverdoll, @jznsamuel, @guiltyparties, @kerrislravenhill, @xyzashu and @ladybug146.

2. Join our members only up voting bot (aka Precious) - HERE

Precious the Silver Mermaid up voting bot (linked to the @ssg-community account) is open to all members of the #steemsilvergold community. She has well over 100k in voting SP and members can receive daily upvotes by either delegating SP are donating STEEM on a monthly basis.

If you have the funds and post regularly, the ROI on our community bot is excellent.

If you have questions about the @ssg-community subscription bot (aka Precious the Silver Mermaid), please reach out to @welshstacker. He can advise you on how to delegate, pay liquid steem or use a combination of the two to reach a subscription tier.

@welshstacker also hosts a monthly delegation giveaway raffle. This raffle is open to all Steem Silver Gold members. The raffle provides a delegation for a tier to TWO Steem Silver Gold members (one sponsored by @welshstacker and one sponsored by @sesntelss. Entrants also earn SBI shares.

ADDITIONALLY, @senstless will sponsor a member level (10SP) delegation to the @ssg-community up vote bot for current members of SSG who feel unable to afford a subscription. Please reach out to @senstless directly for more details.

Enjoy the last day of September friends!
