Call to Artists, Musicians, and Creators! A New Curation Group is Upon Us!
I mean this quite literally. @sndbox-alpha will be taking it's delegated 30k of SP and over 40 trailers to the artists and musicians posts as of this coming Monday 01/22/2018. The art and music curation segment will end in mid-February, so be creative and submit briskly!
How do I earn SBD and SP from @sndbox-alpha?
Here are a few simple notes to get you started.
- @sndbox-alpha will be up-voting at 100% power 10 different posts per day. The price would range based on the current price of Steem and Steem Dollar. Either way, it's putting new money into creatives pockets and we're proud of that.
- The trail includes 40+ other members of the @sndbox incubator who will be up-voting the content as well. This means even more of a trickle effect and more support to your high-quality work.
- This project is curated by incubator members of @sndbox, finding the pieces that catch our eyes.
General Notes
For @sndbox-alpha's upvote, try to adhere to a few basic guidelines.
(1) Write a little about the piece, the process, content, inspiration, so that we have some idea of where this piece came from or what it means to you.
(2) Include images, videos, or music/audio as a way to explore the art, whatever best represents the type of art.
I would suggest following @sndbox-alpha so you're able to track all of the posts and catch us in the comments to submit your works.
We will be eying posts currently at $3 and below mainly, but if your post stands out to us for that day we might make an exception. The goal is to support the people doing great work and giving them a reward for it that otherwise have been pushing through Steemit regardless of the support level.
Over the next several months, there will be different categories per month for @sndbox-alpha's curation. Follow along and try to get some of the high-quality upvotes.
We're currently (as of today) looking at around $17 per upvote.
Follow the Sndbox Alpha Trail
The ultimate way to engage with the account is to follow the trail. You can earn some curation rewards while supporting high-value content all around Steemit.
Here’s how you do it. Start by going to SteemAuto.
Click on the “Curation Trail” option in the lefthand bar.
Here you will see something like this except with your name and with different trail settings.
Scroll down on this page and directly below is a list of the top trails on SteemAuto. If you scroll down a bit we are (as of this writing) ranked 18th on the site. It’s the easiest way find the trail. Then click follow and you’ll start earning curation rewards!
100% voting power (or “Auto”) is recommended for accounts below 5,000 SP.
Types of Curation
These dates start and end mid-month, so plenty of time for creatives to let loose!
January : Art + Music
February : Meetups + Philanthropy
March : Philosophy + Writing + Literature
April : Education + Science
May : Steemit Comments
Future of the @sndbox-alpha
This current class of @sndbox members will come to an end in June, 2018. The @sndbox-alpha was designed to be a source of SP for us following the incubator when we're no longer members. For now, @sndbox-alpha will be up-voting non-sndbox members exclusively (hopefully).
We're going to maximize the curation rewards by using strategies for upvoting and letting the Voting Power gain back over the weekend.
@sndbox-alpha Officially Starts on Monday! Come catch it!
For now, keep your eyes peeled, ears open, and stay tuned! I want all of the skilled Steemians out there to be able to catch both a piece of this, and to be creating the eyecatching stuff that you do!
information that means friends, please visit my blog I am a newcomer here please help friends
Creating high quality content will get you more visibility and great rewards! @rozipasee
Great initiative! Resteemed
Thanks, @aksinya! You should make some art this week ;)
music is art of life
that is enjoyable too
thanks for the valuable post
Thanks @iqbalhossin
Certainly intrigued @playitforward but wonder if this is suitable for poets, such as myself, or aimed at visual artists and musicians?
You know, feel free to do one or two. Do your thing. If you want us to look at it, send it my way and let me know you did it. Sound good? @yahaialababidi
Yeah, sounds great👍🏼 . Thanks, for the encouragement and open invite. Here are previous collabs I’ve done if interested:

Great initiative! Hope I can finish my new jam video on Monday so I can participate. All I can tell it'll be some ear-drum rippin' deep house... Thanks @playitforward
Man that sounds really sweet! I can't wait to hear it. Please let me know when you get it done! @slacktmusic
Thank you! Due to work I couldn't finish editing it today, but I'll make sure to upload it asap.
Is music journalism under this banner too? I’ve had a sndbox support in the past but it would be nice to know I fit into the Alpha category.
You know, in March the Sndbox-Alpha will be targetting writers. I would say follow along @sndbox-alpha and try to jump in on those guys when they put an announcement out around March 15th! @fourfourfun
this is an awesome initiative. Its really exciting that you will be upvoting posts with less than $3 dollars, I think this will encourage a lot of new artists on the platform :) Much love and full power to you xoxox we are lucky to have you!
Thank you @basilmarples, honestly we're doing something, but the people who really make this whole system happen are the artists who work persistently with low earnings on here. Those are the ones we are targetting to give some love to.
Hi, I'm a musician from Tel Aviv and I post original content, and now also following your trail. How can I get my content into your curation system? THX
Hi @arnavlavan! Just for a simple hint, try to write a few paragraphs about the piece, inspiration, or process.
We're looking for content with writing and music/art as well as under $3 upvote. You might fit in that criteria soon!
Do I need to submit it somehow?
Also, I'm following your trail, how can I view my autosteem curation activity?
Go to your wallet, and at the top it will say rewards, curation rewards. If you've followed @sndbox-alpha you won't see them until we start upvoting. After the first upvote, you will see it after 7 days when the post expires. @arnavlavan
Great, Thanks
fantastic news!!! along side dtube dlive and dsound, we are looking at a very good deal right here!
@destinysaid Thank you! Lots of people will get exposure they want and deserve!

Wow! This is an awesome initiative. It would sure create a lot of positive feelings around steemit.
