The Pay It Forward Curation Contest is all about increasing exposure for high quality posts and increase the level of engagement on steemit. You can take part by entering the contest or just helping visit the entries and their featured posts. Everyone chooses their level of involvement and we appreciate the efforts of everyone who helps promote quality content on Steemit.
No changes of note so for the regulars go start curating and those of you who are here for the first time welcome and read below for the rules.
Note: @lynncoyle1 is taking a week or two off and this week I (@thedarkhorse) will be taking her place.
As always check back to this post often and scroll to the end to see a list of this week's curation entries!
How to Enter the Pay It Forward Curation Contest?
To enter the Curation Contest you will find 2 high quality blog posts written by reputation level 55 or lower steemians and then write a curation style blog post like this entry by @viking-ventures from week 16 which won a Judges Choice Award. The idea is to highlight both posts and why you thought they were high quality.
| To be clear the Level 55 max is only for the bloggers who are featured, anyone may submit a curation entry. |
|---|
Rules:
- Curation Style Post that highlights your 2 featured blog posts.
- Link to the high quality blog posts in your curation post. 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 need to be rank 55 or below
- You need to comment on this post with a link to your post, this is how we track everything!
👉👉Clarification for Quality Required for valid Entry👈👈
We are looking for Quality Original Content and that post spells out what that means. If you are new please read it.
No less then 200 words of original written content. So a single photo is fine as long as there is 200 words with it. 200 words is about 12 lines of content.
** Art posts that show at least 3 steps of progression will not need to have 200 words of content, but still attempt to explain their art. Please use some common sense here.
Posts from Parley and dmania are not acceptable.

A bit hard and heavy if your cards only level 1 and not all good cards in there, because when you choose to make team with your opponent and you don't check on their last 5 team used .. you'll be in trouble. And it is getting hard to rank up. But it is part of the challenge too😊

Tonight @pifc, I finished getting upvotes in on all contributors to this week's contest, both on their posts, as well as here. Also, of course, on all the posts which they selected.
In the time available, I was not able to comment on them all, but did what I could.
Thanks everyone for another great week!
