PENNSIF'S PICKS : Three Picks for October 2022

Thank you to everyone who put forward suggestions for my Pennsif's Picks for October.

When I came up with this idea I had not realised how difficult a challenge it would be to make one single selection in each of the three categories.

However, after reading many, many posts over the past month, and reading all the suggestions in your comments and posts, I have now chosen my winners for October.

Pennsif's Picks for October

After much, much thought and consideration I have come up with my Pennsif's Picks for October.

---

For the Steemian of the Month I have chosen @dexsyluz from Venezuela.

She consistently produces high quality posts of a various types - Diary Games, Engagement Challenges and contests.

@dexsyluz also regularly makes good, relevant comments.

All this while studying hard on her university course. In fact today, she has just been celebrating a key achievement on her Bio-Analysis course...

• The Diary Game (03-11-22): Promoción 53 de Licenciados en Bioanalisis. A day to be thankful.

---

For the Post of the Month I have chosen @ubongudofot from Nigeria.

This choice is not just for one particular post, but rather for his weekly series of Showcase Interviews with prominent Steemians from around the world.

@ubongudofot's latest interview was with @alanasteemit...

• The Interview Showcase 22 - Exclusive Talk With A Professor / Venezuelan Creative User

His past interviewees have included @pollito22, @olesia, @josevas217 and @chriddi - and I am sure he has many more very intesting interviews to come.

@ubongudofot is also producing increasingly high quality local news stories from his city of Uyo and the surrounding areas.

---

For the Community of the Month I have taken a slightly sideways approach.

I couldn't decide on a single community, so instead I have chosen a 'community without borders' - the World Smile Project @worldsmile.

This high achieving worldwide charity and humanitarian group was originally founded by @el-nailul in Indonesia.

It spread to take on housing, medical and educational projects led by @mariana4ve in Venezuela, solar power projects led by @ubongudofot in Nigeria, and most recently educational projects led by @patjewell in South Africa...

• HELP WORLD SMILE PROJECT SOUTH AFRICA

World Smile Project has its home base in the Steem for Better Life community. The International Manager for World Smile is @irawandedy.

The Prizes

The prizes I am awarding to the winners are...

• Best Steemian - @dexsyluz - 2500 SP delegation for a month + 250 TRX
• Best Post - @ubongudofot - 2500 SP delegation for a month + 250 TRX
• Best Community - @worldsmile - 5000 SP delegation for a month

I will be sending out the delegations and TRX to the three winners shortly.

---

Additionally seven members of the Steem for Better Life community each generously added a further 1000SP delegation to the prize pool...

• Steem For Better Life Community Will Be Sponsor of PENNSIF'S PICKS & Community Witness

Thank you to @heriadi, @irawandedy, @sofian88, @klen.civil, @el-nailul, @patjewell and @ubongudofot for this. How would you like to allocate your prize delegations to the three winners?

What next...

Selecting the winners for this sort of 'Best Of' contest is very difficult.

For November I am going to try something different.

I will be announcing that tomorrow - stay tuned !

In the meantime thank you to everyone who participated or supported the first Pennsif's Picks.

As I move up the witness rankings I will be running more of these community activities.

My witness - @pennsif.witness - has now reached #23. Only three spots away from the Top 20 !

If you are already supporting @pennsif.witness thank you very, very much.

If you haven't yet voted for my witness I would be grateful if you would consider doing so. Or if you have any friends who haven't yet voted, do please give them a gentle nudge on my behalf 😀

Thank you
