**** No New Entries ****

As always check back to this post often and scroll to the end to see a list of this week's curation entries!

This week @costanza will be our "Guest Judge" and we are very excited to have him helping out this week! @costanza has created an alternative to SBI with @upvoteshares and @minnowshares. These voting accounts allow for an ongoing daily upvote. So far these votes have been consistent for @pifc and a nice little boost.

What is the Pay It Forward Curation Contest?

The Curation Contest is here to allow Community Minded Steemians the opportunity feature 2 great blog posts written by Level 55 and below Steemians. To do this you will write a single curation style blog post like this entry by @viking-ventures from week 16 which won a Judges Choice Award.

Contest Date Range

This contest run from Now until 08/18/18 at 11:59pm CST (USA, Chicago). The winners will be announced on Wednesday 08/23/18 at 12:01am

Week 20 Rules (No Changes)

For week 20 you will need a curation style entry that includes 2 High Quality Original Content Blog Posts from Steemians with a reputation score of 55 or under.

  • Curation Style Post of 2 Bloggers who are posting Quality Original Content
  • Link to 1 recent blog post per featured blogger. 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 I track everything!

👉👉Clarification for Quality Required for valid Entry👈👈
We are looking for Quality Original Content. We want to see 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. Posts from Parley and dmania are not acceptable.

Prizes: Steem Basic Income

This week at least 14 winners are going to get a sponsorship for #steembasicincome!

There will be 1 SBI Sponsorship per 8 entries into the contest on a random basis (minimum of 2). These SBI shares are currently purchased by @pifc.

There will be 4 Judges Choice Awards based the quality of the bloggers you feature in the eyes of our Judges, @costanza, @tryskele , @lynncoyle1, & @wolfhart. Each Judges Choice will get 1 SBI share for winning from the Judge that picked them.

All 8 of the featured bloggers from the Judges Choice Winners posts will also get an SBI Share. These shares are purchase by the sponsors listed later in the post.

@steembasicincome is run by @josephsavage and is a great program designed to provide a lifetime income to members who have SBI Shares.

Prizes: Steem-Bounty

@steem-bounty of 2 Steem has been created. We will only upvote entries for the Author's 80% of the Bounty. No other comments will be upvoted as the goal is to reward those who enter the contest.

@steem-bounty is also a witness account and is run by @knircky. To set @steem-bounty as witness you can go to: https://steemit.com/~witnesses and enter the "steem-bounty" account into the text field and click vote.

Thank you for viewing

I am back for another round ...

Entry #3

Thanks so much @rentmoney for the nomination! I've noticed a lot of traffic/interest over the last few days because of you and am grateful!

Thanks for your entry! I hope the Bear Market is finally over, cause it starts to be depressing to see how much our votes are worth.

It seemed to drop substantially in the past 24 hours - again. I hope it will recover as the year begins to wane.

Entry #18

Going forward the cut off is 11:59pm Chicago USA time, that is CST with Daylight Savings time. You were over 9 hours late with this entry, but want to include it for this week. Just make note of this for next week. Also know that the earlier you enter the more people that get to your entry for visiting the featured bloggers and more exposure you give them...and yourself.

Look forward to seeing more entries from you!

Hello again! I'm back with a couple of artists who recently joined the Steem Train!

Here's My Entry for Week 20 - I hope you enjoy. 😃

Hola @trincowski, revise tu entrada, están preciosos los bloggers que escogiste, te felicito por la elección, suerte y un caluroso abrazo.

Entry #17

Technically you were a little to late, but we will let it slide for a week. The cut off was a little over 2 hours before you posted if that helps with knowing the timing.

Oohh thank you 😊 I supposed to posted it yesterday, but something comes up and I think there's someone posting right after me 😐 I'll post before friday next week to avoid the last minute overtime.

Hola cicisaja, ya te extrañaba, es dificil encontrar tiempo para revisar, visite tus blogger, suerte para todos, cariños y besos.

Thank you for that. Know life gets in the way sometimes.

Hola @reonlouw, revise su entrada, muy buenas, suerte y un abrazo caluroso.

Entry #15

Entry #5

Did you still need a sponsor for the steem bounty if so what do I do?

We do need a sponsor for the SBI. This week due to no longer getting SBD payouts it was switched to Steem. So if you are interested you can transfer any amount up to 2 Steem to @pifc. This will then replace the steem spent by us and you become the sponsor.

Okay sent over this morning. Thanks again for doing this.

Thank you! Will change the post right now.

Ok guys!! I want to see over 20 entries this week!! Encourage your features to join in. Especially past ones you see that are still active and maybe struggling still. We're presenting the door...they just need to walk in!!

Absolutely! 20 would be great!!

O.o challenge has been accepted!!!

There will be more than that.

Estan faltando dos entradas para las 20, espero lleguen las que faltan, un abrazo @tryskele

Two short of 20 entries .

Since this post is closed out I'm going to make a suggestion here as odds are slim anyone looks at it now. Don't self vote your comments, it looks horrible and is a total waste of voting power.

Give those votes to others and you will find so much more will come back then you are giving.

The worst part is those votes don't even pay out so it's a 100% waste unless you are using dustsweeper. Looked at a couple days of your account and didn't see any votes from them so from what I can tell you are just casting votes that are getting turned to dust.

Read this post to understand why those votes have no value.

Hope you take this as it's meant to be, constructive criticism to help you improve long term. Completely your call how you want to take it.

Couldn't agree more!

Now there is a good goal for next week ;)

I always like this contest cause everyone win something.
Steem monster per entry
