The Steemit Awards 2021: My Nominations

Today I would like to nominate the best author, best contributor, and the best community for 2021. I have to select one from each category and my selection is backed by my conviction and from my understanding, engagement over the last year in Steemit & Steem Blockchain.

Best Author

Before I proceed to nominate a name in this category, I would like to brief you on my understanding & sense of a good author.

We always advocate for proper formatting, proofreading, making it easy by demonstrating with high-quality infographics, quality of analysis, etc. But to me, these are part of skill development which anyone can learn in a quick possible time.

But the DNA of a good author is Sentence structure, proper choice of words. It makes it more logical when you learn the art of organizing the sentence structure, that is how you establish a connection between what you have consciously thought of and how you want to deliver to your reader/audience. It always carries a natural appeal.

If that part is addressed, then your formatting styles, analytical skills, demonstrating infographics, etc further galvanizes your content and makes it rich.

There are a few authors I regularly follow and read on a daily basis even when I do not engage, as I have been a silent reader in Steem Blockchain.

So for this category, I would nominate @kouba01. He is the one who truly manifests sentence structure with better accuracy.

Delayed Gratification, Being a part of the process, etc are other salient beliefs of @kouba01 that further make him a great author in Steem Blockchain.

Best Contributor

This is none other than @starlord28. He is really a very very talented developer. I am always grateful to him both as an individual and as a CR and MOD of SCA. If SCA has been made scalable, then it is only and only because of @starlord28.

Organizing the data of roughly 1000 users in each Season of Crypto Academy is a mammoth task if you do it manually, it could be frustrating, may render you cognitively poor at the end of the day. Therefore if we ever want to cater to a larger mass in Steem Blockchain, then we need scalable features/tools alongside. Therefore more scalable tools are needed in Steem Blockchain.

Starlord28 has developed #TAGSEARCHER #SCRIBE #COMMUNITY-STATS #AVG-DELEGATION, etc and STEEM POLL will be released at the nearest possible time. And these tools are not just for Crypto Academy, rather these tools are more general and widely used by other Community Admins/MODS as well.

Whenever I use Steemcryptic tool with the capacity of a MOD or CR, my sense of gratitude and respect outpours for Starlord28.

Best Community

In 2021, I have mostly engaged in Steemit Crypto Academy and BOI. So my judgment on Best Community may come with limited exposure & understanding of the extension of activity and engagement. Because variety is also needed to come to a better conclusion.

With my limited understanding, I would say World of Xpillar is the best community for this category. I firmly believe that the leadership team in the WOX community is quite professional with an enriched experience. Most importantly they are self-sufficient as well.

I also think it is close to a comprehensive niche. And the mainstream general authorship is being catered in this community with likes of ART, PHOTOGRAPHIC CONTENT, CONTEST, QUALITY CONTENT, etc.

Thank you.
