This sounds like a neat idea. Please have consistent standards about what amounts to "original content". Take a moment and read my blog regarding the double standard of text verses images.

Thank you! And I'll read up on your blog.
I agree on the importance of original content, whether text or images. I've actually seen some of the discussion on the image side of things recently in the abuse channel. As Steemit scales up using images with appropriate licencing and/or creating our own will only become more and more important. (Especially with the EU recently passing new copyright laws I read some about here.
With that said, right now the Steemprentice focus is more on things like specific wording (especially for non-native english speakers), appealing headlines and thumbnail photos, marketing their post (direct to certain channels), networking and building a following. While I can't argue the important of originality and correct usage, at this time I'm depending on other groups, such as steemcleaners, to monitor these types of problems. We can then work with that user to find and/or create more 'acceptable' things such as images.
So far I've not seen any issues on originality on the writing side, but I'll try to keep an eye on image usage and originality. :)
