The Steemit Awards 2020
2020 has been a big year in the history of Steem.
In February Steemit, Inc entered into a strategic partnership with the Tron Foundation.
Since then Steemit has gone from strength to strength to consolidate its position as the leading crypto based social platform.
This amazing progress over the past year could not have been achieved without the commitment and dedication from the ever growing Steem community.
We would therefore like to recognize the contributions from so many hardworking Steemians with the first annual Steemit Awards.
As a starting point we would like to say a big thank you to @girolamomarotta, the Country Representative for Italy, who initiated discussion of the Steemit Awards which gave the impetus to move forward with the idea.
The Steemit Awards Categories
As this is the first year for the Awards we are keeping it simple with just three categories...
Best Author
This will be for the individual who has consistently produced the highest quality posts.
Their posts might be on any subject.
Best Contributor to the Community
This will be for the person who has made the greatest contribution to building the Steem community.
It might be through their work as a Country Representative, or through setting up and running a Community, or organizing contests or other events or projects.
Best Community
This will be for the most active and successful Community.
The Community might be new or old, and might represent a country, or cover a particular subject.
It is not just about numbers of members, but about community activity such as running contests, encouraging and rewarding quality posting, and welcoming and helping newcomers. Building sustainability and self-reliance through growing a community curation account is also important.
The Steemit Awards Prizes
For each of the three categories there will be five winners.
For the Best Author and Best Contributor the prizes will be...
- 1st prize in each category - 100% vote from @steemcurator01 & 100% from @steemcurator02
- 2nd prize in each category - 80% vote from @steemcurator01 & 80% from @steemcurator02
- 3rd prize in each category - 60% vote from @steemcurator01 & 60% from @steemcurator02
- 4th prize in each category - 40% vote from @steemcurator01 & 40% from @steemcurator02
- 5th prize in each category - 20% vote from @steemcurator01 & 20% from @steemcurator02
Individuals will only be able to win in one of these categories.
For the Best Community the prizes will be...
- 1st prize - 25000 SP delegation for 3 months
- 2nd prize - 20000 SP delegation for 3 months
- 3rd prize - 15000 SP delegation for 3 months
- 4th prize - 7000 SP delegation for 3 months
- 5th prize - 4000 SP delegation for 3 months
Communities will need to have a dedicated community curation account to be able to win in this category.
The Steemit Awards Nominations
As the first part of the Awards selection process we are inviting people to make Nomination Posts.
In your posts you can make nominations for one, two or all three of the categories.
You can nominate yourself or others, but you can only make one nomination for each category, and you should only make one nomination post.
For each category nomination you make you should explain in no more than 250 words why you think the person or community should win the award.
Nomination posts can be made in any language and must be submitted by 11pm UTC on Tuesday, January 5th, 2021.
The posts should include one tag for each category you are nominating for...
- Best Author [ #awards2020-author ]
- Best Contributor to the Community [ #awards2020-contributor ]
- Best Community [ #awards2020-community ]
So your posts may have one, two or three of these tags depending on how many categories you are making nominations for.
The tags should be in the first five tags, and you should also include a tag for your country such as #italy.
The Steemit Awards Shortlisting & Winners
From all the nominations we will then make a post for each of the three categories with a shortlist of nominations. These posts will be published by Friday, January 8th.
We will then ask the community to 'vote' on the shortlisted candidates through comments on each post.
All comments should be made by 11pm UTC on Friday, January 15th
The Steemit Team will take on board these comments as part of their final selection of the five winners for each category.
We plan to announce the winners by Friday, January 22nd.
These Steemit Awards will be a great way to round off a very special year for the Steem Community.
We are really looking forward to reading the nomination posts.
So many people have made so many excellent contributions during the past year.
We hope you will all share our excitement for these Awards.
Thank you,
The Steemit Team
Awesome...thanks for appreciating the idea, I am very happy to have contributed to the birth of this official initiative and I hope it goes well.
It would be great if this were just the first of many editions.
I will surely translate the post in Italian and I will try to involve all the users of my community.
Congratulations and I wish you great success!! ✌️🤗
I have excellent posts! I follow those who follow. :)
A few up votes to get something other than strange crypto related things to the top seen videos perhaps? https://steemit.com/art/@cinemaninja/teaser-part-2-forest-ninja-series
Nice
Nice that Steemit team decided to organize this as an official award event for the community. For me personally, every community member has done their best at their own capacity, but those who do extra miles and doing their ultimate best should be given extra reward too. May this annual award motivate community members to do their best in this community that rewards their best contributors.
Thank you to The Steemit Team you all are the best community organizer and supporter in this whole world! 🤗🥰
Great to see Steem community moving forward! Here we go 2021! I will try to come back soon and do some posts. Been working a lot = while we can. Happy New Year! Hugs!
I think is exciting moment to jubilate with Steemit, Inc. The award packages are so awesome to grab. Thanks so much for this great initiative and opportunity to participate in this nomination of the awards. My pleasure, Steemit Team 😁!
I want to nominate my friend @stephenkendal for these awards, for his committed work in #ILoveSteem and his loyalty to the Steemit platform.
Thank you for your continued support.
Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2021.

happy new year old friend!
It's an excellent proposal from the friend @girolamomarotta, I think it will be very interesting in front of so many personalities committed to the platform.
We are all winners from now on, Steemit has taken a radical turn for the better, and that is the result of everyone's work.
Congratulations and successes in this event. I love it.
I have excellent posts! I follow those who follow. :)
Firstly, I want to thank @steemcurator01 and @steemcurator02 in courtesy of @steemitblog for organizing such a wonderful contest and the lovely support involved. I appreciate them for their consistent effort once again.
As for the best author, I'm nominating @shortsegments due to his consistent effort in the steem community. I noticed his content are really of great quality and he's very consistent. You can visit his blog for more information and clarification.
As for the best contributor of the community, I'll be nominating a great man who is highly known for his great impact on the steem blockchain when it comes to supporting good content creators, supporting dApps built on steem blockchain, organizing contest just to reward great Steemians and he's also known for his great productivity when it comes to serving other people in the steem community. This man is no other than @crypto.piotr. I'm nominating @crypto.piotr for the best contributor in the Steemit community and you can verify this by reading through this post also remember to read people's view about him via the comment section of the same post.
As for the best community, I'm nominating @project.hope community which was founded by @crypto.piotr with the sole intention of supporting and giving hope (as the name implies) to good content creators on the steem blockchain. The community is also known to support different project built on steem blockchain such as @Steemscan developed by @roadofrich which can be used to convert your steem tokens into Tron (TRX) at a very cheaper rate without no stress. You can visit www.steemscan.com for more details. This community also seems to have increasing number of subscribers and increasing number of content creators plus increasing number of interaction within users content and this really makes the community more lively and interactive.
Thanks for sharing this great post with love from @hardaeborla and I also thank @steemitblog in courtesy of @steemcurator01 and @steemcurator02 for their great support in the steem community. I hope you have a great day ahead with love from @hardaeborla 💕💓❤️
Late thank you for this supportive comment @hardaeborla

I have been invited to the nursery by @belenguerra and have enjoyed reading and posting there very much. It is a great starting point for meeting people and being able to post about anything on your mind. This community is very interactive and there is always someone that can give you advice on where to turn to! This community is really of value especially when you are starting out!

Thanks!! :)
Very nice initiative. Can't wait to see the winners.
This is a really great initiative. I think such awards should be given every year. It would be good for steemit. I think steem users will start competing among themselves to win this award. 😊
I thank the steemit team for this kind of positive thinking. 👍
steem on!
Excellent initiative @steemitblog. I will be waiting to make my nomination publication, since there are many candidates with good profiles who give their all within the platform. Success.
