Nominate awesome authors and win them a massive (up to $100) upvote

in #curation7 years ago (edited)

For the next 12 hours, I will be taking nominations in the comments for amazing posts that are under-rewarded. I will vote with my $100 voting account (percentage based on how under-rewarded the post is).

You cannot nominate yourself, and if you are caught nominating your sock puppet, you will be flagged.

This is a community effort, think of your favorite posts in the last few days and put them in the comments. Those posts with the most comments will be considered first but it is not a requirement.

I will entertain entries for the next 12 hours but may vote any time in the next 24 hours at discretion. Votes will range from 10% (~$10) - 100% (~$100) voting power.

Please nominate specific posts, not an author in general.

This is brutally amazing. I was reading, thinking to myself how in h** I was gonna nominate some shi*y post of mine and then I read it. The very best of words in steemit right now:

You cannot nominate yourself, and if you are caught nominating your sock puppet, you will be flagged.

I won't take much of your time. Just give this guy a chance to be rewarded for his deeds. He is an underdog and I believe that he deserves a fair shot! Thanks man and have a great contest. Cheers!

@creativetruth's dose of reality

Awesome, I'm glad I could help. Cheers and thank you for your efforts sir! Have a great week.

This is great. Thank you to everyone who viewed and nominated the post for this contest I knew nothing about until after I was nominated. Wasn't that the spirit of the contest? @themarkymark was very generous with the upvote, and it was the viewers who put a smile on my face the most. I might have to follow more of these activities, if it leads me to more quality posts I'll enjoy.

Having just read this, I second that nomination. Also, I love the phrase "brutally amazing".

A long post, but insightful! If you're wondering how to become popular, this is a must-read.

I nominate @whatamidoing

Thanks for the support

waw !!!!! a big thank you to you for nominating me, it's so nice to have thought of me! and thank you to @themarkymark !

My favourite artist in Steemit. Creating humorous art with real life daily objects. @febrirmd
https://steemit.com/art/@febrirmd/my-simple-artwork-2d-with-bottle-cap-syrup

Awesome man. You’re the best!

My nomination has got to go to @stevenwood, he is a fantastic writer and i hope you all agree that he deserves to be discoverd. here is his most recent post
https://steemit.com/writing/@stevenwood/the-world-may-end-if-you-don-t-enterthe-good-vibes-contest-my-entry-for-your-perusal
but has many other older posts which are just as good

I hope it's okay to nominate more than one!

@ironmanmatt's recent post is well-thought out. He's my husband so I know how much effort he puts into writing logical, challenging posts.
@filnette shares great photographs of her home in the Philippines. I like that she shares little narratives with each, like this one.
@nortjenn wrote a really great post on some practical, zero-waste ideas.

Thanks for giving us the opportunity to promote great authors! Looking forward to reading the other nominations here :)

Yay! Thanks @themarkymark for bringing recognition to a lot of great authors and content through this initiative! I've enjoyed finding some new blogs to follow :)

Woah man! Thanks so much!

Hey mate! No problem you know you deserve that!

I nominate @laurenkrumwiede . She is brand new to Steemit and has a great post about fermentation on the road...
https://steemit.com/vanlife/@laurenkrumwiede/fermentation-on-the-road

Hey @themarkymark,

I herebey nominate @yidneth

She's a real artist and singer and she sometimes has a live show on dlive. You gotta join there once. She sings so beautiful. I joined some if her shows and tried to upvote many of her posts, but with my low I cannot reach much. Check her content or join the next live session.

I would like to nominate @stahlberg who is publishing a fantastic graphic novel

https://steemit.com/art/@stahlberg/my-comic-android-blues-43-44

I nominate my bf's post for sharing his real experience and sharing some nice shots here. https://steemit.com/food/@truthsfinder/food-is-life-893345530da22

Thank you for appreciating. :)

Not sure if the voting is over but I did come across one worthy of throwing in the ring.

https://steemit.com/payitforward/@thedarkhorse/real-life-pay-it-forward-ran-into-betty-again

This is very generous of you. Nice to see a pay it forward post paid forward.

I nominate @whatamidoing. Here is one of his recent posts.
https://busy.org/@whatamidoing/inspiring-yourself

This is one of many examples of things he posts. Well worth it imo.

Well, thanks!

woah thanks! I saw you mention me a while ago too, thanks so much @mrbearbear!

No problem man, you literally are a great example of how people should be writing on steemit. Couldn't think of anyone else more deserving than you!

I totally agree with this. He is an excellent writer and this is a particularly good post.

Great post god i chek before add it again :)

Very nice for supporting comunity :)

Sharing some awesome nature vibes with some fingerdrumming beat with @shakazula

https://steemit.com/music/@shakazula/nhmy8ax4

He's a nature and adventure lover like me, a great friend and the one that introduced me to Steemit and Whaleshares :) If nothing else its worth a watch. Thank you, Steem on!

Thank you so soo much! I know he will be very happy and definitely boosted his mood to make another new beat today, and we got a beautiful weather ahead of us, hope you will have a great day too. Steem on! :)

I am nominating @bigdude with his post of getting new shoes for the kids in Venezuela with steem-raised money.

Not even because the post is so good maybe, but because I love the fact that we literally can change peoples lives with a click of the button

https://steemit.com/steemit/@bigdude/fundraising-for-the-purchase-of-shoes-for-children-of-the-community-of-rosario-de-paya-in-venezuela-steemit

Beautiful dude! That is super good to see! Thx on behalf of the kids' feet on getting them new shoes!

Thanks for sharing this @karinxxl! It's great to see what people are doing with Steem! And based on his past posts, @bigdude is doing quite a lot for his local community. I think that's amazing!!

He is! So many good projects from schoolsupplies to food to shoes. This is a guy to follow to see what he is doing for the community

Excuse me for advertising. It is necessary to earn. I'll try to stop soon. :)

I might be on the 12 hour limit... but we had our Drop in the Ocean show tonight in @BuddyUP and our member @dreemsteem shared a brilliant perspective about the topic of the week, Encouragement.

I believe it's a fantastic post, and regardless of the vote, it's well worth a read.

https://steemit.com/dito/@dreemsteem/encouragement-a-drop-in-the-ocean-post

What a surprise!!!!! Oh my goodness, I just got into the car and saw this notification!!! I'm so honored that you nominated me @calumam!!!! And @themarkymark, I'm very honored that you took the time to not only upvote my post, but to read all of these nominations in here!! It's incredibly generous of you to do this, and so encouraging to newer authors!

I like to "meet" my witnesses before I give them my very precious vote 😊

And you just earned mine!!!! Not because you upvoted me.... But because you show that you care about Steemit and take the time to support the platform by strengthening Steemians!! (Something I'm very passionate about!!! I'm about to start a new initiative to come alongside newbies with a small task force! 😎)

Thank you for leading by example!!!

In the spirit of "paying it forward", I would like to nominate @monchhichi23 as another new author. Her story is gut-wrenching, raw, and genuine. If it's not too late....please give it a look! I think you'll find it powerful.

https://steemit.com/writing/@monchhichi23/for-the-different-monster-chapter-two

Thanks again @themarkymark! I'm on my way to cast my witness vote 😊

@themarkymark... Aghhh my old password is on my phone and I'm in the car. It won't let me vote for you til I get home to my new password 😊
But I will!!!!!! Thank you again - so much!!!

and the surprises just keep on coming!!!!! oh my gosh - @upmyvote - THANK YOU for the incredible upvote on my comment!!!!!!!!!

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm honestly speechless. and i always have something to say LOLOLOL

I nominated my friend who needed money to pay her college semester. @s1eeper.
thank you if you helped him.

You, sir, are awesome!
I missed the 12 hour window for nominations but I just wanted to drop by and say thank you for what you're doing! I'll go vote for you now.

I'd like to nominate @gabyoraa

https://steemit.com/bwphotocontest/@gabyoraa/b-and-w-photo-contest-beaches

Not just this post, but all of them, and her photography...and the fact that she's in all the discords being awesome. Just my 2 cents.

Ok, so that was a big surprise. Your 2 cents already made my day :)

Thanks for that.

Of course! I don't always updoot regularly...but I try to support awesome when I can. :)

Wow! I love this post :) The columns for both languages side-by-side is really creative! And I love that @gabyoraa shares the story behind her photo, which turned out amazing. Looking forward to seeing more!

Hi @helenoftroy, thanks for stopping by my posts! :)

can I nominate @bearbear613 I just donated a huge upvote for his blog and for awareness of a cause I truly believe needs getting out.

https://steemit.com/familyprotection/@bearbear613/history-of-children-s-aid-society-and-some-disturbing-facts

I would like to nominate treeplanter
https://steemit.com/report/@treeplanter/treeplanter-report-4-29-2018
Its an awesome project, at the same time fighting deforestation and making the steemit community aware of the problem but also reporting the progress in fighting deforestation.

I would like to nominate Priscilla Hernandez @yidneth to be rewarded for her content. In all honesty you could pick any post of hers and you will find she puts her heart and soul into her music and writings. She is one of my favorite presenters at our weekly Promote Your Post events.

https://steemit.com/music/@yidneth/mad-world-one-girl-band-cover-and-tribute-to-my-favourite-band-tears-for-fears-analysis-of-the-song

Thank you for putting up this community initiative!

Aww I just saw this, thanks for the honour of considering me

If a second proposal is allowed I would like to nominate edicted with his article about EOS that is spot on.
Not only this article is great but in general all his posts have a very high quality.

https://steemit.com/dominance/@edicted/the-death-of-bitcoin-dominance

I nominate my buddy, @mindtrap for his inspiring style.

Here's an undervalued post of his.
https://steemit.com/writing/@mindtrap/have-you-ever-thought-it-that-way-anger-the-worst-consultant

why cant you nominate yourself... because sometimes you write wonderful post just to get low upvote,, even though you work so hard to get it... and beside nominating other person means he or she is better than you.. @themarkymark.. speaking my mind freely i mean no harm

I want people to find someone else to nominate. Otherwise, everyone on Steemit would respond.

smokeasare165 I am getting your argument however it is definitely a big quality filter - people do the preselection for themarkymark and he chooses the finalists...
@themarkymark: loving this project!

I want to nominate @popon, I think he is a talented writer and he carpings are less cared for by some big fish and curators. Below is one of the results of he post 2 days ago
https://steemit.com/steemit/@popon/friends-or-money-2-sahabat-atau-uang-2-bilingual

I think it's worth the rewards.

I have the pleasure to nominate @syllem always delights us with beautiful lyrics that she writes with her husband, they make a great duo, in this post she tells us about how we attack against nature, I hope you like it.

https://steemit.com/blog/@syllem/la-quema-en-nuestros-bosques-y-sabanas

I nominate this post https://steemit.com/steemitisbeautiful/@truthsfinder/once-and-for-all-steemit-is-beautiful by @truthsfinder for appreciating the beauty of steemit and having hopes on steemit.

I nominate @polebird.

Thanks for this initiative

Please use a specific post you feel is amazing yet under-valued. I may look at others by the author but start with one specific post, please.

Please permit me to change my nomination. I want to nominate @nellyprecy for this post

https://steemit.com/food/@nellyprecy/importance-of-bread-fruit-ukwa

I would like to nominate Max Igan for a fundraiser he posted for Gaza! @maxigan

i will love to nominate @mickyscofield his blog is inspiring and motivating he is also a role model

Without a doubt, I nominate @cryptobobby:

https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@cryptobobby/the-formula-for-crypto-pumps-is-counter-intuitive

He's probably the most undervalued poster on Steemit, especially relative to the size of his YouTube presence. Not sure if a YouTube video counts but I hope it does.

Sorry Sir... I am from indonesia, and not fully understand about steemit because i am new here. But after reading and understand your post using translator, finally I nominate Mr. @khaimi with his post https://steemit.com/aspiration/@khaimi/the-real-man-not-drug-man-and-condom-man-dilema-lelaki-sejati-vs-obat-kuat-pria-64ce369f2aec6.

I think this is important because the commercial ads now happens massively. Oya, he is promo steem activly in collage and ground community like young writer. Thanks for you and God Bless you. I vote you for him.

I have been one of you since the time of Stime, so I will laugh

What a fantastic initiative! I am sorry that I am studying these days so I have not been paying attention to many posts but I will try to find something for you .. In the meantime, I am resteeming for as much visibility as possible : )

Great idea!

I have resteemed this in the hopes that more people can join, maybe one of my followers might nominate me, who knows!

My nomination is for:
https://steemit.com/gaming/@steemitadventure/what-i-learned-from-video-games-street-fighter-2-edition

I've been following @steemitadventure for a while and all i see is great content. Definetaly deserves a bit of support;)

Buen post me encanto , saludos.

Excellent Post, I'll be following you, I hope to see you on my Blog. God bless you
