Hello and Welcome to the First Steemy Awayds
It is time for the community to get together in an event that will recognise and reward People in different areas of expertise.
What are the Steemy Awards?
It is an Award created by the People for the People. Everyone in the community will have a Word on picking the Winners and Everyone's Vote will be counted the same way.

How many and which Steemy Awards will be delivered?
For the 2017 Steemy Awards the community will be recognising People in 10 diffirent categories and they are:
To help and make it easier to find all the related posts we also be will be using the next hashtags:

How it will work?
The Steemy Awards are separated in 2 rounds.
The 1st Round the community will be picking 5 nominees.
In the 2nd round You will be choosing the winner in each category from the 5 nominess You have picked earlier.
1st Round
In the 1st Round a total of 10 posts will be created. One for each category.
To get nominated YOU need to leave a comment on the category post You are running for using the proper hashtag, for example: "Running for #photographysteemyaward and I am a model".
You CAN'T nominate other People. If You want to see someone running for that category You will have to invite them to go to the post and leave their nomination.
The 5 nominees will be the 5 comments with the most upvotes (not the highest payout).
And that 5 People You choose will be the 5 that will go to the 2nd round.
2nd Round
Now that You have picked Your 5 nominees it is time to pick The Winner.
In this 2nd round 10 new posts will be created announcing the 5 nominees for each category.
There will be an external link for a Poll where You need to go and vote for Your Favourite user to win in each category.
Once again the most voted nominee it will be the Winner and get the tittle and the Award in each category.
The Prize and the Dates
Promote, recognise and Reward the Amazing members of Steemit is the Goal of the Steemy Awards.

Have you heard of the Curation Lounge in the Whaleshares channel on Discord? I think it would help you get more attention to this post and promote the contest.
Check out this announcement post. Supposedly, it is scheduled for tomorrow.
no i actually never heard about that. But thank you so much for letting me know about that. Yeah j would like to make it reach as much people as possible. Because that is the main goal. To help people know more and different users. ❤ let me check that.
I participated in it once, but they happen at least once a week, I believe, you get the opportunity to discuss your post with people in the lounge, share ideas, answer questions (if any) etc, and you get upvotes too haha. Everyone was friendly and welcoming too, it was nice.
Oh yeah, it is on voice chat, but I guess if you don't have a mic, you could still type.
Cool. Well probably by 00.00 tomorrow i will be on the bus on my way home from work. So lets see how it goes lololol anyway some people have been nice already upvoting. And resteeming. I am so happy with it ❤
You could still probably listen or keep an eye out for your name to show up in the chat, I am not sure how many people will join in tomorrow, it's probably gonna last an hour or 2, or less, like I said it depends on the amount of people taking part.
Anyway, I figured it would be a good way to bring attention to what you're trying to do!
And I am so thankful for that. I have never actually heard about that channel on discord anyway. Thank you for that. I have just posted the link there. Lets see how it goes and if my post is picked to be talked about eheheheh
No problem, you still need to be present I think, even if your post is not picked, you get to talk about it with everyone anyway.
How cool :D
Thank you. Are you planning on participate.
Hope you found someone t support this - my influence is simply limited - great idea still - just read we need to nominate ourselves...hmmm - apart from the challenges thing #challengesteemyaward (I create some challenges such as #SunThursday #BeachWednesday as well as #MetalMonday or #charityweekly originally and tried to gave all of them an overview.
However I think most relevant for me by my heart for music is my #Danceweekend so I would love to contribute to #musicsteemyaward
Thank You so much. Today the posts will be up and he 1st round is going to start. So I hope I will see Your entries for as many categories as You think You deserve to win. I am now working on the last details to start posting the 10 posts. I am excited to see if People will have fun with this :D Hope to see You there.
So you will be very very busy today :-)
That is a very nice idea!
I like to be with the #challengeconteststeemyawards as I do the #beersaturday challenge where we motivate people to do some nice and quality content arount beer. I run this since 25 weeks and it eats a lot of time but generate even more fun.
Have a look to the weekly challenge/contest post and our weekly Payout posts.
I had a speech about the Beersaturdy challenge at SteemFest and there you see the goals of the challenge - motivation for good content
Sorry, as beeing a writer, I can't do short text. ;-)
No worries it is always good to read a little bit before bed eheheh. Nice i am glad to see that more people are finding about the steemy awards and find the idea interesting and fun. Tomorrow the steemy awards will start and i will be posting the 10 posts. So i hope i will see your entry on the challenge category. All you will have to do is a post like this and get your followers to upvote your comment there. ❤ best luck and see you there tomorrow eheheh
Got it and good night from Belgium 🇧🇪
Uhave a good one yourself. 😃
Hey this is a great idea and I might be able to help. Instead off doing the voting externally lets do this on the Steem blockchain. I can mostly like work something out that enables people to vote in post with their comments.
That sounds great like a good idea. I have just choose to do this way for the second round. Because there is no way i can assure that the 5 nominees will be as top comments on the 2nd round posts. But i think that would be a great idea to promote more engagement and more rewards for the participants. How can we talk about that?????
I have this steemit.chat account @julian_k that works!
Nice I have just hit You there.
There was actually a Golden Steem Awards during the first SteemFest. As for the term "Steemy", it's not that discussed nowadays but a few months ago there was a huge outcry about it because there was this thing where a Steemian was pitted against another in a battle of physical attractiveness. There were people who chose sides, and there were people who protested the inappropriateness of the whole thing. Eventually the protesters won and the initiative was shut down. I know it's not connected to this, but I just wanted to do a Steemit history lesson haha! Shows my Steemit age.
Anyway, best of luck with this! I'm all for any initiative that seeks to highlight accomplishments :D
That is good to know. Thank you for all that info. ❤ I always like to learn about the community. When it comes to the name choice I guess I have lost already the attention of half of the community right? Lol well what I can say is: bad luck for them. Because this awards are going to be a success (I only can hope lol) and the main goal are to promote and reward members on the community so they will be the ones losing.
Thank you so much for the best wishes. I will make my best to make it happen. Make it bigger. And promote as many people as I can.
I am thinking already about the 2018 Steemy Awards. That will probaably be hosted in London ❤ gotta think big right? Eheheheh
I hope I can count with Your support to give some more visibility. (Asking for that cheeky resteem eheheheh)
Already thinking of a venue haha awesome! With your enthusiasm, I'm sure that this is going to be a success. I think most people have already forgotten about that debacle or because of the the disconnect between this and the previous issue, they don't even associate it, so I don't think you lost any attention.
Get sponsorships from whales to boost the prize pool and attract more attention. The thing is, there has already been awards like these in the past, so if you could think of a way to make this pop or give it a unique twist, it'll be all the better for it. I've just made a post, so I don't normally resteem so close, but I would do so in the next days to give this added exposure.
We gotta think big right??? And I have so many ideas for the ceremony. Thinking about hosts, entertainment acts, livestream all over the platforms, fire works, foos, alcohol. I dont accept anything less than an Oscars ceremony. Eheheheh 😃😃 thank you so much for your support. Means the world. Tomorrow probably will make another promoting post cause it looks like this one is dying eheheheh lol
If you're looking for entertainment acts, there are tons of talent here. Getting in contact with them will help spread the word, too!
Yeah for sure all the entertainment will be offered by Steemians eheheh this is our space eheheh
It's a good idea. Just like the Addy awards for commercial artists and ad agencies.
Actually I think I have never head of that awards. But i am glad you like. I hope i can count with your help and a resteem to help getting it out there and reach more people on steemit. Only that way it can be helpful to everyone. ❤
Very nice iniciative!! i would like to participe on this!!
Awesome. I am very glad to hear that and see some people want to run for the tittle. I will doing a couple more posts during the week to promote and talk about the awards. So all your support means a lot. Keep sharing the word eheheheh
Love the idea, I’d love to participate, in still trying to figure out this platform as a whole but i like the simplicity of the awards! I’ll be keeping up for more info, and of course resteeming my favourite steemian aka @sergiomendes in the process. Thanks for sharing and making the community a fantastic opportunity
Awww You are too nice. Thank You so much for the nice words. Yeah I hope I will see You participating and who knows you end up winning a Steemy Award ❤ I have posted today another post trying to motivate people to create a post to start telling their followers that they will entry on the award. Check it out and maybe create one :)
I'll definitely take part, you've got to be in it to win it right? Haha, hopefully I'll connect with some more people as well and understand more about the network in the process, looking forward to it, and best of luck to you organising it all, I hope it's a success!
For sure. You never know if You don't take the leap. :D Yeah there are a lot of ways to do Social Media. And Steemit include a lot of them. It works differently for everyone You just have to find what is the best way for You :D
Great Idea!!!
Thanks. Maybe will see You enter some category. :D
