Week 11 - Pay It Forward Curation Contest
.png)
Curators it's time to go out and find 2 high quality blog posts from steemians who's reputation score is level 50 or below and the bonus slot this week is 1 comes from an idea that was suggested by @lynncoyle1:
"Perhaps the next themed entry for your contest should revolve around someone who is positive or helps others "
This bonus feature will allow you to be creative and feature anyone that you feel is positive or helps others.
New Account!

Week 11 Entry Post Format (No Changes)
For week 11 and future weeks you will need a curation style entry that includes 2 High Quality Original Content Blog Posts from Level 50 or Below Bloggers.
- Curation Style Post of 2 Bloggers who are posting Quality Original Content
- Link to 1 recent blog post per featured blogger. Keep in mind that many will follow this link and upvote so pick a post that isn't close to payout!
- Include a link to this contest in your entry post
- The 2 bloggers you curate Must Be Rank 50 or Lower!
- You need to comment on this post with a link to your post, this is how I track everything!
Optional: Themed 3rd Featured Blogger (New Theme)
New Theme for the Optional Featured Blogger! This week besides your 2 Mandatory Featured Bloggers the bonus Feature spot will be one that should revolve around someone who is positive or helps others.
My example for this will be @terminallyill who I happened to write about in this week's Pay It Forward Spotlight.
👉👉Clarification for Quality Required for valid Entry👈👈
We are looking for Quality Original Content. We want to see no less then 200 words of original written content. So a single photo is fine as long as there is 200 words with it.
To make it easy to estimate 200 words figure there needs to be 12 lines of content.
Posts from Parley and dmania are not acceptable.

It's absolutely wonderful to see all the excitement and enthusiasm that has been generated by the contest. When you first approached me with this a few months ago, I knew it would work out, but I had no idea how well. So much support from so many great people. Glad I am a part of it all. Here's to Week 11. :)
It has grown nicely and the quality of the entries seems to get better each week. Think you can directly see the path of a few of those who enter in the quality of their posts over the last weeks. As people search for quality to feature the quality they produce seems to increase over time.
OK, here's my entry for this week :) Thanks for keeping this going @thedarkhorse!

Great anticipation for the contest, I think. I have to join this contest this week, about the third blogger, shall I post about them before just the way you did, or I just have to find one with that kind of good action?
Thank you

Entry #6
Can I suggest you edit your first comment here and put the link there. I almost missed this one.
All right, I will
Just include it as the 3rd blogger in your entry post. I just happened to have written a post that worked highlighting who I would have considered featuring, not expecting people to write that much to feature someone.
Look forward to seeing your entry.

Thanks for keep on running this contest @thedarkhorse, I've followed @pifc
I am upvoting the first level comment, not this comment, because of the distribution of the bounty.
Yes thank you, don't worry about it, Dusty will do it for me😁 if she find my comments were worth to be voted too. I appreciate your attention 👍
haha don't you just love Dusty? :)
I love her so much now, and I am ready to reload my account
Don't let your girl hear you talking like that haha
hey, if you do and also use #ccc, I'll send you a bonus equal to the first time bonus. All the best!
This is like
first time bonus2.0 or an invitation to get thefirst time bonusone more time.Hahahaha... Stop it, Bro. Let's talk about it somewhere else
the
first time bonusworked for a while, but since it is a one time bonus, I tried the "hat trick" reward to encourage participation to continue and grow - but it was too complicated, so I stopped it.I am just trying out creative ways to reward participation in the contest with new ideas for rewards.
Everyone can help promote this contest! many have - by sponsoring SBI. I am just doing my thing to help keep pifc moving and growing (as in my entry - growing the tree) ...
Yes, I appreciate your kindness and support too
You are eligible for a share of the
first time bonusfor this week, week #11:first time bonusa second-time.Excellent choices, @dipoabasch! I've voted on your two main candidates! And I'll be following @creslyn from now on!

Thank you @thedarkhorse for this wonderful contest.
Entry #3
I would like to share my happiness with you all for nominating me as one of the blogger by @illusions16, Thank you my friend,
I am absolutely feel honored...
Thank you again and stay blessed
hey, you might want to check with @angelro regarding #ccc ...
All the best!
Here we go again :) I'm glad you made the @pifc too! Are you going to start hosting the contest through that account or keep it on yours? I never thought to ask that on Discord :)
I notice as the weeks go on, the entries get better. Last week was a difficult choice for me; there were so many great posts that I got to see. I'm hoping that more and more people drop their entry link here, but also take the time to visit the others as well. That is what this is all about, isn't it?!
The idea will be to move the contests over to this account. By doing this I can give the posting key to someone else if I need a week break for a vacation or something...might have to lean on the longest standing judge at that point.
But I don't want to do this until there is enough SP in the account to make votes that matter. Figure if we keep all SBD earned from comments and power up posts over a few week period of time we can then lease some delegations.
Also @bjgeese has offered to match 100% of non paid delegations given to this account up to 500sp at no cost. Think of a 100% matching donation basically. His only rule was the delegations can't come from the judges or myself. It needs to be other supporters. This alone would really help boost the account.
I am looking forward to another week with great featured post and supporting their efforts . By supporting them we support the platform and it well being
Here is my entry:

The featured post is old and there is a new post for voting: Handmade Paua Shell Jewellery if you have not been able to vote on the old, and originally featured post: Annapurna Base Camp
Entry #2
@thedarkhorse u forgot something
Thanks for pointing that out
Yep, I hate it when people forget to put their dirty dishes in the dishwasher...
😜 😝 😏 😎
I know, it wasn't too subtle... but I couldn't resist deliberately missing the point!
Thank you. I have went and looked at all of your entries. Some really interesting finds. The post by @el-nailul really caught my attention due to the old grave having Baha'i markings on them. I studied their faith some years ago out of curiosity due to some I knew.
