"Six of the Best" MAP25 Minnow Contest [Vote Now - Win Upvotes]

[accelerator]

This is the next contest in the Minnows Accelerator Project's "Six of the Best".

Each of the six authors below gets a share of this post's rewards

And one (or two) of them will win 200 SP delegated for 7 days

Please read this Signup article for how MAP works. If you are a minnow, you can also sign up at that page to see if you will be added to one of the future Six of the Best competitions.

News

The Minnows Accelerator Project will now be run from the new @accelerator account, but will still be managed by @rycharde.

What Do the Content Creators Need to Do Now?

If you are one of Six listed below, then this is your chance to show everybody your best work - and to get votes.

= Firstly, please write a comment with links to some of your best recent articles. I would say perhaps 2-4 articles from the last 2-4 weeks.

= Then, please resteem this post to your followers so that they may come and vote for you.

= You should also announce this on your current posts. This contest will last for 7 days, so you have time to spread the word. I have also found that appropriate comments with a linkback also work very well. Please don't spam Steemit, as that can easily be seen.

= And then, I have created a new Discord chatroom for all the people who make it to Six of the Best. Feel free to come and chat with current and past participants, and promote your blog. Go to M-A-P Discord chatroom now. Note, this is ONLY for participants.

How to Vote for Your Favourite Steemian Author [UPDATED! PLEASE READ]

This part has changed from MAP21 onwards. The Minnows Accelerator Project has grown to some 120+ members and it is time to put their collective experience into helping to select the winner of each MAP Contest. I have stopped using external polling websites so that the whole voting process stays internally within the Steemit community.

= Firstly, make sure you read all the six blogs - you may discover something new and an author you had not noticed before.

= Also, you are free to add comments and interact with each author.

= But most importantly, vote for your favourite author or authors in the comment that they create showcasing their recent articles. You may EITHER upvote their comment OR reply to their comment using the word VOTE"; you may, of course, also make a comment to show support. You may vote for more than one author. Any bot votes will not be counted, and if you use one of the vote-following bots then that participant will be disqualified. [NEW!]

= What will you get? Apart from the warm glow of satisfaction at having helped a fellow Steemian, I shall upvote any interesting comments.

= At the end, the combined votes from comment upvotes plus MAP member votes will decide the winner (or winners, if the scores are tied).

What Are The Prizes?

= The main prize is of 200 SP delegated for 7 days. (This will increase as we get more sponsorship!)

= However, every participant listed below will also receive 10% of the rewards generated for this article. This is possible using the Reward Distribution feature for articles.

= Also, every participant is invited to join a new Discord chatroom dedicated exclusively to MAP members.

= Every MAP Member may also be featured in our "Tales from the MAP Room" magazine.

= [NEW!] Every MAP Member will be able to participate in out new Binary Stars: Collaborative Contest - Round 1 just started!

= [NEW!] Every MAP Member is also eligible to be included in our new Quality Curated Content posts.

The Six of the Best for MAP25

Six of the Best today are (in no particular order):

@knowledges

@nolasco

@karenmakescakes

@fractalizer

@themovieplace

@vachemorte

Now it is entirely up to you! Please upvote and resteem this post. But most importantly, cast your upvote in the content creator's comment - please be patient, because of time-zone differences some participants may take a few hours to come online and post their comment.

Also, take this as an opportunity to network with each other; you are free to comment and discuss your experiences as authors and readers.

Let the Accelerator begin!

Sponsorship News

The Minnows Accelerator Project has received its first sponsor! Many thanks to @eturnerx for donating a further 1000 SP to add to the already delegated 1000 SP towards the project. This new donation is earmarked for the new Collaborative Contest that will be starting soon.

Thanks also to existing members of MAP who have expressed an interest in supporting @accelerator by increasing its voting power. Deep thanks to those MAP members who have recently delegated SP to the community: @heart-to-heart. This is especially generous as these are not large whale accounts bur minnows themselves who are helping the whole MAP community grow organically and steadily.

_{MAP donors: @heart-to-heart - @kerlund74 - @macchiata - @spaingaroo - @inquiringtimes}

The plan is to make the winning prize more significant, eventually reaching 200 SP delegated for 4 weeks, rather than the current 1 week. Assuming a peak of one winner per day (remembering that there could be more than one winner per contest) for 4 weeks, plus the 7-day cooling period when delegated SP is returned to the owner but cannot be used, then I am looking at 35 days times 200 SP, giving a total needed of 7,000 SP. We already have 2,220 SP so just under 5,000 SP more to go! To delegate SP to this project, or to donate funds, please leave a comment or come chat to @rycharde on Discord.

Thanks for including me in this week MAP.
Someone suggested me to try to participate in this contest and it seems to be an interesting idea through we can present our best articles and we can know members who create interesting and different things, I'm one who's passionate about movies and in my articles I like to do contests like those which I will enumerate below trying to be original:
https://steemit.com/contest/@themovieplace/movie-rating-contest-6-the-snowman-2017-giveaway-100-of-sbd-from-the-post-revenues

https://steemit.com/contest/@themovieplace/my-favorite-movie-star-game-10-giveaway-100-of-sbd-from-the-post-revenues

In my articles beside contests I like to recommend movies of different genres depending on what the public requires and I want to share with you some of them:

[nolasco]

@accelerator, thanks a lot for including me in this week MAP :)! I joined Steemit last June, and I'm very enthusiastic about it and truly connected with this community altruistic values.
I'm a photographer and a blogger and have my own website: www.isabelnolasco.com.

As a photographer, I've been participating in several photo challenges and contests (and winning some of them). Please check out these links:

https://steemit.com/monomad/@nolasco/monomad-photographic-contest-week-10-topic-street-art-entry-4-the-most-amazing-street-art-in-the-whole-world-george-town-penang (most recent winning post)

https://steemit.com/rickysphotochallenge/@nolasco/usd20-prize-pool-rickysphotochallenge-week-9-macro-photography-entry-5-lizard-at-my-son-temple-vietnam (best paid post)

As a blogger, I also write inspirational posts, around 3-4 times a week, some of them on photographic challenges, like LoveFriday or IntroduceYourHomeTown.

Here are two links to my writing posts:

https://steemit.com/writing/@nolasco/close-up-an-inspirational-writing-in-the-midweek

https://steemit.com/lovefriday/@nolasco/lovefriday-initiated-by-liliana-duarte-so-pode-ser-um-anjo-no-brasil-pt-there-must-be-an-angel-in-brazil-eng

By this last link, you get to know that, being Portuguese, I write my posts both in English and/or Portuguese.
Thanks once more, this is so exciting! Cheers, friends Steemians!

[marcelli]

You have my vote! @nolasco always post amazing pictures and excellent writing posts! Everyone on Steemit should have a look at her profile! xx

[nolasco]

Thanks a lot, sweetie! Cheers!

[allyinspirit]

VOTE 🦋 You most certainly have my vote Isabel.

Your photography is so beautiful. You have a gift for capturing people and places that make your audience feel they are right there with you.

Your stories that interweave through your images are always fascinating too. Telling of your own experiences and those of your really close friends. The love you feel for people along with cities, land and sea rings true and can truly be felt. 🦋

[nolasco]

Dear Alison, your words are beautiful and go straight to my heart. I'm touched by them and they give me the strength to go further. You're sweet and generous, may you always be blessed! Thanks!

[melinda010100]

[cleateles]

Boa sorte, querida!

[dswigle]

You have my vote!

[nolasco]

Thanks, sweetie! Do you have any suggestions to improve my votes? Should I make a post asking for votes? Shouldn't it be unethical? I'm afraid I get flagged...
I'm last :(((( lol

[dswigle]

I am sure you won't be flagged. I have seen people make a post for a vote or they end their post with a plug for the vote and a link. I think that will be fine. Last or not, you are first with us! :)

[accelerator]

Many people have made posts about being in a MAP contest - to my knowledge, nobody has been flagged. Just make it in the same style as you would usually, so it isn't just a comment pretending to be a post! Good luck!

[nolasco]

Thanks, I risked it being afraid to be flagged. Maybe I was lucky because is the first time I do such a thing. And won't do it again. My friends already voted :). Thanks for your endeavors, I'm not sure I understand the last part of your comment (I'm Portuguese, you know...) Cheers!

Thanks so much for inclusion in MAP25. I document my decorated cakes on Steemit.
I entered my first cake decorating contest this past summer and won first place! https://steemit.com/food/@karenmakescakes/my-first-competition-cake
My favorite decorated cake of all time was based on inspiration from R.C. Cakes from Florida. It was a mermaid cake I made a year ago for a little girl's 6th birthday. https://steemit.com/food/@karenmakescakes/mermaid-tales

[ramseyman]

You are very talented and it shows that you love to work with out of the ordinary cake decorations. Keep up the good work!
