The Daily Sneak 25 January 2018 - with guest curator @paradigmprospect

in #curation7 years ago

Welcome to The Daily Sneak!!!

Come for the crypto, stay for the community!

You can earn up to 5 SBD per accepted submission for guest curating The Daily Sneak. Submission requirements are published at the bottom of each edition of The Daily Sneak.

Twice featured, our first time guest curator for today is @paradigmprospect. New paradigms often emerge from a great starting point, a condensed and well-presented form of an idea or concept. @paradigmprospect wants to shine a spotlight on his recent favorites in the Steemit community, to make them more known for their amazing skills in art and thought.



Vision From A Minnow's Perspective (To Bring Value To Steem)


When we first come to Steemit we seem overwhelmed by all the options we are faced with. Where to start? Well, you could start by reading @enjoyinglife's amazing insight he shares after his first 60 days of using Steemit. What does this place mean in the grand scheme of things? And what can we do with it beyond writing down what's on our minds?

A highly motivating read for all the newcomers out there trying to figure out what Steemit can be.

ALMOST done the Ravens, Herons & Deer Mandala painting!


@adammillwardart shares his amazing handpainted mandalas with us, leaving his comfort zone as artist to try something new with animals in his art. A great reminder to never stop progressing even when you have become great already.

And his style is simply mindblowingly beautiful.

You're here already, it will all work out!

Pencil portrait 2-HB made by me: Emma Watson


Before I came across this Steemian I didn't think people could draw like this. @miyata1987's skills with the pencil are incredible, and his work is so underrated that I need to tell you about his amazing craftsmanship right here, right now. If you want to see some genuine pencil-magic art, drawing many well-known celebrities from a heart-and-soul perspective come check out this steemian's amazing blog.

He also shares the steps with us it took to complete his artwork. Amazing work Miyata!

These are some excellent selections from @paradigmprospect. They are quality examples of how good content can be! Let us know what you think in the comments. For submitting these great selections and commentary, @paradigmprospect gets 4 SBD.

That's over $27 USD!!

Each of these highlighted articles receives full upvotes and resteems from @sneakyninja. As an added bonus, @sneakyninja sponsors featured writers for Steem Basic Income!

Submission Requirements

  1. You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
  2. All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
  3. You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will not be accepted.
  4. Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
  5. We try to spread the love around, so while selections from authors that have been highlighted before are welcome, they might not be included if the author's last inclusion was recent. Similarly, if you include two articles from the same author in one submission, we will typically highlight only one of the two.
  6. Be sure to include your personal bio for me to introduce you to readers, and make sure that each selection has commentary. This can be just a few sentences about why you think the selection is worth our attention, or what is great about it - something that will make people want to click through the headline and check out the actual article. English is preferred, but other languages will be considered as long as English translation is included.
  7. Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
  8. Including image links to the source article is not required (and we prefer to leave some mystery if photography is highlighted and the article has only one photo.) However, we like to include images in The Daily Sneak, and not including any image links may decrease the likelihood of your submissions being published.

If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen for several different reasons. If you are unsure why an article was cut, please review the submission guidelines again. If you are still unsure, feel free to ask politely why it was cut.

Submission Reward

A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 1 SBD for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 5 SBD for each accepted submission!

Right now @sneakyninja's upvote is not worth as much as we are paying for guest curation. Why do we pay so much for guest curation? We believe that quality curation is very important to Steem. Paying our curators well encourages them to spend more time reviewing content and picking out the best pieces!

Good job! Thanks to @josephsavage you have planted 0.50 tree to save Abongphen Highland Forest in Cameroon. Help me to plant 1,000,000 trees and share my Steem Power to the others.
