Curation Contest - Week 15 of Paying it Forward
With that said this week we will test out using level 55 as the max reputation score. I think this will open up the options for who is featured and still keep it at a point that we are helping those who need a boost.
Now with this increased level I will ask that you all try and target posts which aren't earning the rewards they deserve. Not trying to be mean to those who earn $20+ a post, but they aren't who we are trying to help. Now if a post happens to get picked up by Curie or something that is different, but if each time someone posts they are earning a good amount skip them please.
Contest Date Range
This contest run from Tuesday 07/10/18 until 07/14/18 at 11:59pm CST (USA, Chicago). The winners will be announced on Wednesday 07/18/18 at 12:01am

👉👉Clarification for Quality Required for valid Entry👈👈
We are looking for Quality Original Content. We want to see 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.

Here's my first official entry to the Pay It Forward Contest, @thedarkhorse:

Entry #8
Hi @thedarkhorse, you may be interested in the new MAP Trail, with a focus on supporting curators, and especially this post. Thanks!
I just wrote my response not realizing you run the trail and that post was written by me. Sorry about that, just did more looking around and realized it. But no time to rewrite.
If you are looking for a few great curators I'd love to chat with you on discord. We have some people here who week after week take the time to create great curation posts. Maybe there is a way we can work together with our missions of rewarding curators. Some of these people here not only help with this contest, but also ASAPers and/or the Greeter Guild along with others that just aren't popping in my head right now.
Anyways discord I'm thedarkhorse #6765 and if you prefer another platform to chat just let me know. Need my coffee now and to figure out how to get rid of the smell of skunk...dog got sprayed and then I made the mistake of bringing him inside right away to wash him. Naturally that happened at 2am as I let him out right before going to bed.
Hello There @thedarkhorse, though this is gonna be a tough week for you, but I hope that you can do your best as always, and here is my entry for this week.
Pay It Forward Curation Contest - Week 15 : A Chance to exposure
I hope that our judges @energyaddict22, @lynncoyle1, @tryskele and @wolfhart will enjoy to read the post and if I win again this week, I would like to present my SBI to @pifc as my support for the account to power up. Thank you to all participants and our sponsors @andrewharland, @thehoneys, @bengy @steem-bounty, @el-nailul and @kaliju with @steemfleamarket. Have a great week everyone!
Entry #1
Thank you.. Noted😊
Way to go @dipoabasch! I love your generosity and look forward to your entry :)
That's all I can to support this contest and everyone who's involves... You know that I'm only plankton😁
That's more than enough @dipoabasch!!! Thank you 😅
This is awesome guys !! You all rock.
I think you rock too @tryskele, but I have a feeling this comment was meant for @dipoabasch and not me lol
Both.. your starting comment and @dipoabasch's afterwards . So much generosity this week. It's mind blowing.
It is mind blowing @tryskele! This is becoming a really special little community ❤️

Entry #3
Well looks like I flubbed up again. For some reason got all messed up on the dates. I was thinking this was still a few days off. I may still come squealing in with a lat min entry. More likely will put something together for next week. Give me more time to focus on making some visits anyway.
Yep, I'm back with two another great artists... here's My entry to the "Pay It Forward Curation Contest - Week 15"
PS: This week I'm willing to sponsor 1 SBI share for the contest.
Entry #6 and listed as a sponsor! Thank you for this.
You're welcome. We don't need no whales. Let's all keep growing together. 😋
nice work, have resteemed - wish I could enter but you will have to raise the rep a little more for me :-)
thanks also to the judges for putting in the time and effort @tryskele , @lynncoyle1, @energyaddict22, & @wolfhart
LOL the rep only applies to the featured post not the one making the entry.
Lord knows you have a lot on your plate and the redfish league is doing great. Man that list has to make one proud.
Thanks for the resteem! The extra exposure always helps.
As already mentioned the rep score is purely about who gets featured, not who enters the contest. Guess I need to reword this as you aren't the first person to get confused by it.
Hey there @paulag :) You can make an entry for sure, but because of your rep, you just can't be featured in someone else's entry :) Now, you'll just have to find another excuse haha Just kidding, you have plenty on your plate, I know!! Your own Leagues are growing like crazy I see!!
Thanks @paulag ... I think you should do an entry, it would help us find some 'fresh meat' LOL Love everyone that joins in each week and puts in that effort. It would be great if we could expand it more. I know you're crazy busy too. The resteem should help out a lot :) .
