Nominations For The Steemit Awards 2022steemCreated with Sketch.

Greetings everyone. I wanted to take a little time to add my participation for this voting process in the 2022 Steemit Awards.

Best Author

There are so many people here on steemit producing lovely works, I wouldn't even know where to begin in selecting one. At the same time, as someone always striving to showcase my art and make it as entertaining a read as possible, I am going to nominate myself! Ok, let's face it, there are probably plenty of others more deserving than myself, especially since I have only been around for a few months, but hey, when one strives to be the best, they have to exude confidence and believe in themselves! Plus, now I don't have to make the hard decision between so many good authors.

Best Contributor

Similar to best author, it is tough to pick a best contributor because I've seen so many people do great work for the platform in my brief time here. For this however, I will give the nod to @stef1 who was one of the handful of people that really helped me get my sea legs here on Steemit, is a member of the November curation team and also does great work in our WoX community even as her and her husband deal with life outside steemit.

Best Community

This one is a no-brainer for me. The World of Xpilar community is hands down my favorite and I very quickly learned that it was a superior choice to posting directly to my blog. The curation teams and programs such as the 14/30 days diving run by @bambuka helped me grow my account far quicker than I had imagine I could and everyone in the community is helpful.

Being that art is the central theme, and I am an artist, I not only have found a wonderful home to show off my art creations, but am constantly inspired by the other artists around me. I have to force myself sometimes to read posts from other communities because it's so easy just to stay within World of Xpilar and find interesting posts to read. Also, they have so many contests and, while my art rarely fits the categories, there is certainly something for everyone!

Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.

You are a creative and courageous person. And I am glad that our community has such a dedicated member.
Your works often adorn our news feed :)
By the way, among the works of artists I do not often see burning on wood and additional decoration with paints. This is a rarity.

I wish you good luck in this contest, you are really a worthy candidate for nomination and victory :)

Thanks for the kind words @bambuka! I'm so glad you found me and brought me into the fold.

You are welcome 🖐 😊

I wish you good luck in this contest

Hi @scratched-burnt, that is nice that you also took part in this initiative of Steemit team, it is good to see you taking part in project around and thank you for nomination for me and our WOX community.

If you allow me to give you some advises to make your blog more popular:

  • it would be good if you visit other peoples posts and comment under them. I noticed last few days you have not done much and your Upvote Power is sitting on 100%

  • @bambuka and me we delegated to you so that your are able to be active and learn people as well as take part in the challenges.

  • currently on WOX we are running a visual Art Challenge unfortunately you have not taken a part although it would be a great opportunity to show yourself and to win some Steem too.

If you would like to be on Steemit long term then please be engaged.

Yeah with Thankgiving I wasn't around much these last few days. Busy travelling, visiting family. Missed a bunch of time for other reasons leading up to it as well. Since learning of the Voting CSI and Steemworld tools a week or so ago, I've been trying to work on raising the Voting CSI.

As for the art challenge, I would like to enter something, but because this week was a holiday and because we've been busy travelling, I've not been able to get as much work done and I didn't have pictures of any former floral pieces handy. Now that I am home and back to normal, I was hoping I could find something. I made a wedding sign with floral patterns that would probably work but need to wait for a response, if I get one, about getting some pictures from the client as I don't have any. No time to make anything specifically for that contest though at this point.

Thanks for touching base though, I am always interested to hear your thoughts!
