INTRODUCTION

I am glad to be a participant in the Steemit award for this year. Since joining on July 2021, I have learned a lot about the platform and I have been impacted by great personalities here.

On Steemit, responsibility and consistency is what I admire the most and I must say I have noticed it in few individuals. In this spot, I will use the nomination opportunity to highlight the greatest impactors and few of their accomplishments.

Ranging from composing dairy posts, enlightenment posts, educational posts, and interactive pots to, organizing contest, promoting Steem, mentoring and guiding new recruits, voting and verification of achievement task.

I have seen their efforts and the result. And as a matter of fact, they have achieved a lot which inspires me.

Another interesting aspect of this nomination is the community nomination. Communities are meant to boost steemit activities and support its members. I have become a valid living proof that some communities are taking this task to the moon. I am hereby moved to nominate the community that has done this the most, especially for me and people I know, during the 2021 period.

MY NOMINATIONS!

After much deliberations and scrupulous decisiveness, I want to nominate the following people for the awards of 2021

BEST AUTHOR : @NGOENYI

I have not met @ngoenyi for once, but I've chatted with her, and I've followed her on steemit since I joined in July. It's difficult to avoid coming across one or two of her posts when you have scrolled across steemit pages for 5 minutes. She is versatile and vast in content creating and publishing.

Here is a brief overview of her efforts via a screenshot of her profile:

The most interesting thing that thrills me in this screenshot is 12,223 posts. What a great figure!

She is the Admin and founder of SteemKids community, which I am part of, and she is also a core member of Steemalive and other active communities.
I found out she is a country representative for Nigeria, she is one of the most technical and creative content creators i have found on steemit, alesys hosts promotional articles and and contests to boost the naturality and activeness of those looking up to her on steemit. She has engaged in numerous road show activities and has recruited hundreds of people on steemit which I can testify to. She always makes useful and quality comments on different user's posts which stimulates communication and interaction on steemit. I also appreciate the fact that she is straightforward and firm in making decisions.

I nominated her because of these reasons with practical facts I have just provided.

BEST CONTRIBUTOR TO COMMUNITY : @FOCUSNOW

@focusnow is the most consistent steemit user I know. He is a facilitator, a guider, a teacher, a leader, a helper, and a genuis.

He leads by example in steemalive community, and he has the most contributions to the success of that community. When I say he leads by example, he is currently taking the lead in motivating steemalive members to join #club5050 and maintain it. He is currently a double dolphin ambassador. This is a post made by him to prove that :

He is the founder of the steemalive community and he has been running the community excellently well. He has the most posts in steemalive community and nobody is coming near that figure in months to come. He has a minimum of two posts per day in steemalive since I've been in that community.

Actually, he was the one who recruited me on steemit and has assisted maximally in mentoring me as a member of Steemalive community. I cannot overemphasize how effective his help has been to me.

Similarly, he has mentored hundreds of Steemit users who are waxing the steemit network now in a stylish way. His influence has been top notch. He has created many avenues for action and kept us very busy on Steemalive. Example of these avenues are: SEL(for engagement), SPVC(for road shows), LID REPORTING(for engagement and follow ups), etc.

He is really caring and kind and he's ever ready to help anyone. His lifestyle alone is a big influence to the Steemalive and SteemKids community.

His main interest is in the general progress of steemit platform and in the growth of all the individuals there.

BEST COMMUNITY : @STEEMALIVE

When I joined steemit some months ago, i was told about community service and support. Steemalive practically showed me the meaning of those two words. It was one of the first communities I joined and became part of, but it went on to be my most beneficial community. Due to the fact that the main aim of Steemalive is recruiting newbies on steemit, mentoring and rewarding them for activeness, steemalive has proven to be a home for most steemians I know. The admins of steemalive are hardworking and creative. @focusnow and @samuel20 are real experts in creating a criteria for activeness and engagement. This can be justified with the fact that every week, there are programs introduced to keep steemalive alive and to facilitate engagement.

Steemalive has also RECRUITED over 6000 newbies on steemit and keeps mentoring them to soar higher. This is remarkable. Weekly, steemalive community recruits at least 25 to 40 newbies on the steemit platform.

One provision that interests me the most is the newbie tracker provision, here is a post by @steemalive that describes the effectiveness:

It is used to track newbies and reward and mentor them.

I was one of the new recruits of a steemalive member in July 2021, and here I am today, participating in the crypto academy scheme. I got the motivation and influence from the mentorship of the steemalive founder in the name of @focusnow and another steemalive state representative in the name of @beautybb.

Steemalive keeps organizing numerous contests to engage members of the community. They also have state representatives, team Cordinators and promoters in different parts of Nigeria. These people enhance the promotion of Steemit in the name of Steemalive on different parts of the steem world.

Conclusion

I have hereby used this medium to nominate the following entities as my favorite to win the 2021 Steemit Awards :
