I'm a brand new Steemian so I'm not sure yet about the jargon and whether that even makes me a minnow! However my first posts strangely enough concern my travels in Portugal, and now I've discovered SteemFest will be in Lisbon - karma? For the winners of your contest, or anyone else travelling to Lisbon, my posts might not be specific enough about the city, but they will provide some general information, for example about language or train travel, and who knows may encourage some SteemFest participants to travel to other parts of Portugal. Good luck with your contest and with SteemFest!
This is one of the best initiatives that i have ever encountered, reading the script even gave me goosebumps. I see your initiative @stellabelle as a motivation for people who motivates other people, God bless you but its rather unfortunate that we cant follow your criteria for some us to qualify for this trip but we will try and change the world as much as we can in our own simple way and i know that one day i would make enough to be able to qualify for these criteria
I am not here to enter the competition, but would love to see a winner who's life could be changed by this. Ideally someone who doesn't have the funds to go to Lisbon and by going now gets the change to learn how Steemit works and then will be able to grow a sustainable income on Steemit. Great initiative @stellabelle
I am not sure. If one believes that one is honestly a minnow, then that counts. What's the definition on steemwhales? maybe someone can help with defining minnowhood.
Thanks @preparedwombat, I learnt a new word today. I never knew I was a Plankton. I thought that if I ain't a whale or a dolphin then I must be a minnow. But whatever is the case none of us are either a man or a woman which is another condition to participate here. And why would all these fishes would like to travel that far in some small tank risking their life is beyond my understanding. 😅
I would recommend that we have more categories than just whale and minnow. I suggested maxnow but it sounds a bit weird. Maybe for now we can just go with your average value of your posts after about 5 hours: minnow less than 2 USD, small fish 2-7 USD, big fish 7-20 USD, baby whale20 - 50 USD, whale 50 USD and more
Thanks for sharing! A link to your post was included in the Steem.center wiki page Steemfest 2:Crowdfunding and Contests. Thanks and good luck again!
oh great thank you!
I am very glad that someone in this life will be lucky and he will go TRIP TO STEEMFEST2. :-)
here's the updated info for this contest: https://steemit.com/steemfest/@stellabelle/win-a-trip-to-steemfest-submit-a-3-minute-video
New deadline is end of August, and I'm removing the one man, one woman requirement. Also, to enter all you have to do is make a 3 minute video...

What is your current definition of "minnow"?
Is 1.000SP too much to be a minnow?
Or is it 10,000SP or any other number of Steem Powers?
I am not sure. If one believes that one is honestly a minnow, then that counts. What's the definition on steemwhales? maybe someone can help with defining minnowhood.
As I understand it, a minnow has more than 1 million vests but less than 10 million vests.
then i am a minnow!
What is the source of your understanding?
What is someone with less that 1 million vests, if it is not a minnow?
1 million vests is a little more than 2,000 SP.
Do you mean that anybody with less than 2,000 SP is not a minnow? Not in my book.
Plankton.
Nope. A million vests is approximately 483 SP.
It's a powers of 10 thing:
https://steemit.com/whales/@preparedwombat/yes-whales-are-big-here-but-do-you-realize-just-how-big
Yes, you are correct. For some reason I made an incorrect division (1,000,000 / 483.5).
So, minnow is between 1M and 10M vests and plankton is below 1M vests.
I doubt that @stellabelle wants to prevent people with less than 1M vest to participate in the contest.
Probably true. But it's of course up to her to decide on the parameters.
