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. The idea is to highlight both posts and why you thought they were high quality.
| To be clear the Level 55 max is only for the bloggers who are featured, anyone may submit a curation entry. |
|---|
Rules:
- Curation Style Post that highlights your 2 featured blog posts.
- Link to the high quality blog posts in your curation post. Keep in mind that many will follow this link and upvote so pick a post that isn't close to payout!
- Include a link to this contest in your entry post
- The 2 bloggers you curate need to be rank 55 or below
- You need to comment on this post with a link to your post, this is how we track everything!
👉👉Clarification for Quality Required for valid Entry👈👈
We are looking for Quality Original Content and that post spells out what that means. If you are new please read it.
No less then 200 words of original written content. So a single photo is fine as long as there is 200 words with it. 200 words is about 12 lines of content.
** Art posts that show at least 3 steps of progression will not need to have 200 words of content, but still attempt to explain their art. Please use some common sense here.
Posts from Parley and dmania are not acceptable.

I am still digging for candidates.
Entry #9
Wow. That's amazing!!!
I see you are also getting bigger upvotes from SBI. Do you know if this is the new normal or will it be adjusted down?
The SBI vote is now calculated differently and each day you earn X value of rshares (vote value) based on how many shares you have. Then you can post as much or little as you want and each time you post 20% of your total bank is used. If the account takes a couple days off the bank gets bigger, but then when we post 3 days in a row it's getting smaller each day. So I would imagine that there will be a lot of 40-60c range votes based on todays values, current share count, and current posting schedule.
But obviously the only constant in life is change, so the price feed changes up or down and the vote changes. More share get bought and the vote will increase. We post an extra time a week and the value per post will drop. So many variables.
Thanks for the explanation. The votes I am receiving are 10x higher than before. I thought it was a temporary thing. 😊
If your votes are higher right now that might be a temporary thing until you use up more of your "bank". Some accounts were in the negative when they switched to full automation and others had a large bank from them having been getting to low of votes previously. A lot of that had to do with the upvote you were giving to SBI and how previously they just doubled your vote no matter the size of your vote to them as long as it was 100%.
This meant accounts like PIFC which has 258sbi shares was getting a return value on it's small upvote that was way to high, while others with a larger upvote and lower amount of shares weren't getting enough of a vote in return. PIFC started off negative and is rebuilding it's bank. You must have started with a bank and are drawing it down.
You can post !sbi status and SBI will tell you your status as you will see in their reply here.
That is
!sbi statusHi @pifc!
@trincowski by upvoting SBI posts or comments the value of those upvotes is now added to your vote bank and there is no longer a set % bonus.
That is very interesting. Let me check my stats, too.
