Name Drop Showdown #3!
Nominate an underrated steemian and you both could split the SBD rewards of this post 50/50!
Every valid entry gets a complimentary upvote from yours truly as well.
What constitutes as a valid entry?
You simply have to follow the rules. They're easy. But you gotta start by reading them.
What constitutes as an underrated steemian?
Anyone that posts good content, but has not been getting the attention or rewards they deserve.
Artists, poets, photographers, philosophers, chefs, educators, nice folks who do nice things, you name it. I encourage you to search the #introduceyourself tag, if you're stumped on who to nominate. Let's give them a warm welcome and a little boost to get them going!
[This is an image taken from @patschwork's page, a great example of a highly underrated steemian. Please check her out and show her the love she deserves. Since I am not allowed to nominate anybody, she's up for grabs. First come, first serve!]
What's the point of this?
I want us to all support each other, and not just ourselves. I want us to actually enjoy the content we consume on Steemit, and to be able to reward the creators with more than just our one tiny vote.
So here's how it works:
1) Find an underrated steemian(not yourself), copy and paste one of their images, an excerpt from their writing, or just a little blurb about why you think they're great, with a link to their recent blog post or profile.
2) Upvote this post.
3) Resteem this post. (This is optional, but crucial for increasing exposure for the contestants and the reward pool)
4) Follow me. (Also optional, but it'll keep you in the loop for future contests)
5) Check out the other underrated steemians in the comments! Follow them, support them, give them a pat on the back for being awesome! (Optional as well, but that is the whole point of this contest. It's not just about the money)
After 7 days, the winner will be chosen at random. They will receive half of the SBD portion of the payout, and their nominee will receive the other half. Curation rewards still go to the curators. I will be keeping the SP portion, so that my complimentary upvotes will get bigger and bigger.
If you choose not to enter, but wish to support the cause, your upvote is still greatly appreciated.
In case you're just jumping on this train, here's what you've missed:
Artist Showdown
Fundraiser to help our winner @zachnewell bounce back from a tragic accident
Photographer Showdown
@romanie rocks my world right now.
She's great, I love her art and I'm glad you nominated her!
I'd really like to nominate my friend @westley-nash. I've been following him, and him me, for a couple months now. He's always been an engaged audience member leaving thoughtful comments, and I love his posts. An interesting combo of spoken word, music and sound affects, he puts forward some deep thoughts and comforting words. I definitely think he needs some more attention for the work he's doing to keep him motivated. Like a lot of new people, myself included, it's always nice to get a nod :)
Oh wow, many many thanks dear @romanie, @patchwork and of course @flaccidfervor for your support and nominating me :)
It´s really hard to decide which Steemian to nominate, because there are so many out there who would deserve to get more attention.
After some time of reflection, here is my nomination: @libaws
She´s not only a great artist but also a lovely and warm-hearted woman who supports other artists by organizing great exhibitions, creating books and networking. She´s pretty new on Steemit so I would love to put her in the spotlight :)
Spotlight well deserved! I have a weakness for eyes. Especially when they're used to humanize other creatures and objects. Thanks @sigrid.nepelius! Following you both now ^.^
Thanks Sigrid. So sweet of you!!!
also had a hard time choosing. There are some excellent artists on steemit and many are good friends but i really looked for an artist i like who deserves more steem power and i nominate @leoplaw
My most humble thanks Liba. =)
sounds great - the rules are clear and uncomplicated!
I nominate the fantastic artist Vesna Krasnec - @krasnec
upvoted, resteemed and following
Though I wouldn't classify him as a photographer, this picture is real good from his latest post. He is an extremely undervalued Steempeep. Perhaps it's because he is still fresh bait? Either way, this worldly gent has been as supportive as one can ask for within #thealliance family and feel he deserves some 'extra credit'.
Hi @flaccidfervor
I nominate @artbyclark
He is been a great poster and helped me start her on steemit and also it was @artbyclark that introduced me to steemit and here i am :-)
Do you have any of his work that you'd like to share? Something that will prompt people to click on him? We're doing this to promote each other, so consider your comment as an advertisement to help build his following.
👍
I would like to nominate Dennis Konstantin. @denniskonstantin
He produces great work with a thoughful message.
Yesss I love him!
Haha cool...😜
I think @rajbeekie always has something interesting to say. I enjoy hearing (reading... rather) his thoughts.
Agreed. I've been following him for awhile, and I find his writing to be perfectly put together, with so many quotable nuggets. He's got such a worldly point of view. He just gets it.
"Thought for the Month: I understand. No, you don't.
Since each life is filled with unique and personal experiences we can never truly understand what another person has experienced or is feeling. We can only hear and try to appreciate what the person is sharing with us." -@rajbeekie
Thank you for this contest @flaccidfervor
I nominate @dennis041713. He is a new steemian and currently on a job hunt in UAE to support his family. steemit is his new portal to avoid homesickness from his children.
This is his recent post for poetry

Thank you very much.
A pigeon racing poet?? What an ecclectic combo! He could use the pigeons to deliver poetry to his family! Good luck and welcome @dennis041713 :)
haha that's right, brilliant idea @flaccidfervor, why i didn't think of that. haha. thank you
