How to Enter the Pay It Forward Curation Contest?
To enter the Curation Contest you will find 2 high quality blog posts written by reputation level 55 or lower steemians and then write a curation style blog post like this entry by @viking-ventures from week 16 which won a Judges Choice Award.

Thanks again. 😊
Entry #14
I'm here for this week! Wasn't totally sure if I'd make it.... but my brain is fried, as you can see by the mislabelling of the contest week....

Entry #12
Don't worry last night I thought I made a post, but never hit post...lol. Just posted in a couple minutes ago now after realizing what I did.
Nice trick! Hope you didn't have to rewrite the entire thing..
Luckily it held in the editor.
You should visit a witch. There might be a curse upon you. I almost ruined my lunch while I was listening to the Sinatra cover you featured. 😂😂😂
Ha ha, glad it was interesting to listen to! It's not a curse for me, just lack of brain....
My Entry for week...

Entry #7
Oke , Thanks @pifc ,
Life "out there" has kept me far too busy over the last little while to contribute to our weekly contest. But, while late, I am getting an entry in for this week:
Entry for Week 30
I leave Saturday morning for a long business trip to Texas, so not sure when I will next be able to post an entry, but I will do what I can!
I appreciate the effort of our community to keep the effort going to find and encourage under-valued Steemians.
In checking out my selections, I think you will agree I found two more this week! 👍
Entry #16
Hope you have a good trip and find some time for fun even though it's a business trip. TX has a lot to see and do....well depending on where in TX.
Thank you @pifc …
… definitely would benefit from some serious “down time."
I am going to my 2nd international conference of the association I first wrote about in my BBC 2017: Lifetime Memories from IIBA's Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida post. It truly was amazing content and from what I see of the agenda, I expect to have a similar experience this year.
I will be in San Antonio. Years ago (in my “old life”) I traveled in and out of there regularly and always enjoyed the impressive feat of rebuilding the interior of the city along what they call The River Walk. An amazing feat of restoration ...
Very much looking forward to seeing it again, as one evening of networking activity will be held in that part of the city.
It's amazing how many cities revive or at least try to revive around their river walks. It's really a perfect place to center the focus of a rehabilitation effort.
Never been to San Antonio, but it's a place I'd like to visit one day. Make sure to take enough photos to do a post about the river walk.
Yes @pifc ...
... I'll see if I can manage to do just that. In addition to what ever story and photos I can put together from this trip, I have some fond memories to through into the mix - like watching my first Imax theater movie with my firstborn son there ...
I’ve arrived tonight at my destination – Marriott’s San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa. Quite a place! The International Institute for Business Analysis puts on their annual international conference in style. Likely to be the last outing like this of my career …
I’ll be less engaged on Steem, as a result, but will do what I can.
Hello there @pifc.. I'm here to help @pehteem, he is running out the rc and he asked me to submit his entry through my comment.
Here it is >> Pehteem's entry post
And.. This is my Entry >> Entry to The Pay it Forward Curation Contest : Week 30
Thanks for the support
Entry 3 for @pehteem
Entry 4 for @cicisaja
Thank you 😊 and Noted
Thank you @pifc, Thank you @cicisaja, at least I learned about what I should do with my limited RC though.. heey, I'm going to have my 1 SBD soon and will do as you said to power up.
There is no need to wait, you can power up even small amounts. You will need to go to market and convert to Steem first...do not use blocktrades as they take a fee for what you can do for free.
Two entries for the price of one. Looks like the sales season has arrived! 😂
Worth it I think 😂😂😂 I'll let him sneakin into my kitchen anytime though and free training fee for newbie on steemit 😂 he messed up his own rc no matter what I say. And that's what neighbour is for 😂
Damn this RC situation. Or should I call it shituation?
I have only tried to make fried bananas once, and the result was horrible. They stuck to the pan and most of it went to the garbage can. Maybe I'll give it another try.
use the traditional way... slice it then dip in a batter and deep fried, you can add any jam as topping, choco milk, chocolate paste, any jam but better with pineapple and strawberry, orange marmalade if you like, cheese. make sure you don't use the full ripe banana. heey... better roast the half ripe plantain well.. if you have charcoal is the better. punch it when it still in its peels and add the cheese or ice cream vanilla... it's fun!!
What an amateur I am. I skipped that step completely. Doh!
LOL
here is my entry for this week Entry to the Pay It Forward Curation Contest - Week 30
so glad that I have good friend on steemit, so I will never get bored to run out my rc on commenting too, Thank you @pifc
