Hello great steemians, it has been an awesome time since I joined Steemit. I'm happy I'm here. The Steemit Award,first of its kind, is a great way to appreciate the steemians whose ceaseless efforts has been aimed towards the growth of this beautiful platform.

Though I a new steemian( joined Novembr,2020), I can truly say that I am enjoying the benefits of Steemit.I see this nomination as an opportunity to recommend and give kudos to the following for contributing immensely to the progress and growth of Steemit.

BEST COMMUNITY @STEEMALIVE COMMUNITY

@Steemalive is a beautiful community that support her users. Steemalive helped me find support and friends here in Steemit through the engaging activities it created.
They include:

•Weekly Contests:The community hosts weekly contest to keep members engaged. LID and this a way of retention,keeping members active. Beside steem rewards for participation, voting support are also given to encourage members.

•Steemalive WhatsappGroup: To enhance retention and keep users active, Steemalive owns a whatsapp group. Challenges encountered by members are tackled, mentorship and encouragement is given via the group. Also members get connected here.

@Steemalive rewards her members with liquid steem through LID, weekly contests and also always voting on her members' posts as a community.
Recruitment
Besides, @Steemalive has 1,249 subscribers,7 Country representatives and host of City corrdinators. All who sees to recruiting new users, making adverts about Steemit on social media,through radio stations, use of banners and fliers.
I strongly nominate @ steemalive as the Best Community for the Steemit Awards 2020.

BEST CONTRIBUTOR @focusnow

I nominate @focusnow as the best contributor to the steemit ecosystem. His immense contribution to the platform cannot be overlooked. Through his recruitment , a large number of users joined steemit. To foster recruitment, he appointed city coordinators across Nigeria.
I was able to join steemit after seeing an e-banner on the Whatsapp Status of @talktofaith, one of the city coordinators he appointed

the e-banner I saw on whatsapp status of Lagos City Coordinator appointed by @focusnow

Many others also joined through @talktofaith,the Lagos City coordinator that @focusnow appointed. The Lagos City Coordinator herself,@talktofaith joined Steemit after seeing the facebook sponsored ad by @focusnow.

When it comes to recruitment, @focusnow is really doing a great job to bring more users into Steemit ecosystem.

He mentors new users,of which I am one, so as to get along here on Steemit as there are lot of things to learn here. We have a Whatsapp Group, @steemalive, where he encourages and attends promptly to challenges recruited users face.

the two whatsApp groups @focusnow created

He also runs trainings where he guides and mentors users on how to go about their Steemit journey, completing their achievement tasks .
Also he formed @Steemalive Community. And recently,he has founded #Fur-friends Community,the first pet Community in Steemit.
All in a way to expand Steemit and take Steemit across the globe.

A community that takes recruitment and retention as its paramount goal in Steemit and already on the track of same achievement, is a community deserving of Steemit Award, as this is the same goal #Steemit desire to achieve.
This Community is @steemalive.
And the brain behind this Community should be termed the "Best Contributor" in the person of @focusnow.

Thank you all for reading through.
