Yooooooooooo Steemiverse! Today, I want to give an update on the #1UP #esoteric community airdrop contests that started last Thursday 20th September. 1UP is a new open source community upvoting app where user votes are equal. It daily upvotes the ten highest ranked posts in each community with a smart curation system. We are creating the UP token based on Steem's upcoming Smart Media Token (SMT) and distributing it to Steemians and communities via various airdrops. UP holders will support community growth and enjoy higher than average returns through smart curation. We are looking to build and reward a thriving community of #esoteric content creators on the STEEM Blockchain! I'm over the moon to see that the #esoteric tag is buzzing! There have been loads of entries using the tag, including many from #tribesteemup with their bi-weekly question "What does esoteric mean to you and how has it impacted in your life?" There are three contests going on, which are: 1. A Weekly Esoteric Content Contest 2. A Weekly Esoteric Memes and Graphics Contest 3. A 10 Week Esoteric and Visionary Art Contest You can find out more about the contests and the many communities that are going to be 1UP starting communities - including @dtube in this blog: https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@eftnow/1up-community-airdrop-esoteric-community-spotlight-and-contests Here's my top tip if you want a big chance of winning some UP tokens this week........ So far, there has only been ONE meme and graphics entry. It's very good, however there are three weekly prizes, so there's a real opportunity for a large UP token prize if you put an entry in. Of course, these contests are going on for 10 weeks, so loads of opportunities still to come! Oh, yes! I'm also delighted that we now have a specific 1UP mascot for the #esoteric community. He's the Mushroom Conjurer and you can see him hovering over my shoulder in the thumbnail of this post. I'm sure you'll all join me in wishing him a very warm welcome to the team!
