Greetings my fellow steemians! It's time once again for my favorite contest of the week, our minnow support contest! In this contest we have users nominate a minnow whose work they feel is undervalued. This is my favorite contest because it really helps new users get the exposure they need and I feel it helps the most people get started on Steemit. Last week we had some really great entries and, as usual, the competition was fierce. However, we did manage to come up with 4 winners. The winners are:
- @ethjunkie and @shakazula for https://steemit.com/music/@shakazula/finger-drumming-on-a-mounain-top-d
- @nepd and @patriot for https://steemit.com/science/@patriot/how-i-made-a-solar-car-in-30-minutes-and-how-it-compares-to-my-steemit-experience
- @zuzusays and @mindboggle for https://steemit.com/art/@mindboggle/lights-of-night-life-at-dusk
- @isaria and @swelker101 for https://steemit.com/blog/@swelker101/tales-from-healthcare-reflections-on-patients-that-have-had-an-impact-on-me-3-my-trophy-patient
Congratulations to all of our winners!
This week's contest will work exactly the same as the others. Just nominate a minnow (under 5k SP) who has made a really good post that you think deserves some more recognition. The rules are:
- Nominated author must have less than 5000 steempower
- You can not nominate yourself
- You can only nominate one post
Winners will be determined by me after post payout. Good luck and happy steeming!

I'd nominate @manfredcml for his post: https://steemit.com/science/@manfredcml/data-can-tell-a-story-visualizing-science-related-steemit-in-a-few-picutres-2017-first-half
This is an interesting post making use of data analytics on steemit data. Even while the analytics may be difficult for laymen to understand, he visualized the data to make the results more easily understood. I think this post takes much efforts to write and we need more quality posts like this on steemit!
I would like to nominate @hammadakhtar He is a hard working minnow who I have been following he has been working hard and making great posts and expressions through his photographs. The post below is a great one. https://steemit.com/nature/@hammadakhtar/world-through-my-eyes-flower

You are most welcome you deserve it.
I'd like to nominate @mk40 for his weekly beer review post! He really tries to give back to the community and puts a lot of time and effort into manual curation. He just joined @acidyo's SP delegation project.
I expect to see great things from him in the future!

I want to introduce @vibvir for you. Even though he joined steemit two days ago I met him in the WhaleShares discord. When I have seen his first post I was actually sad that he didn't earn that much money on it, because everybody who is using introduceyourself tag probably made more than him, even though his post shows a lot about him and it is a very detailed post.
I think he is actually very smart and he is a really good artist. Maybe that is why he was on the whaleshares discord as soon as he joined steemit - he knows what is good. :)

One of his art. There are a lot of nice images in his posts, everything done by him.

I'd like to nominate this post from @thesimplelife - detailing her story of how she came to steemit. Powerful and moving.

I agree!
I am pleased to nominate @drawingsbymilena whose experiments with watercolor paintings are phenomenal yet receive limited payments, perhaps because they do not cater to the strict English-speaking world.

I am going to nominate @riseofth 's post https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@riseofth/i-am-a-computer-engineer-computer-architect-and-wanna-entrepreneur-i-lost-usd20k-in-crypto-trading-but-still-believe-in-the
This is an interesting story of a journeyman crypto enthusiast who has mined $100K equivalent cryptocurrencies at today's value and invested $20K, but lost all his investment but learned a lot about trading, investing and still believes in the revolution and wants to build a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) in future.
I unashamedly nominate @jaynim, my girlfriend. She is young and will be the future of the Crypto world along with our children who will hopefully help Asia as a whole come into the crypto freedom fold.
This is her first post ever which you can gain a true appreciation of her dedication and the content that she will produce. Her skills in Photoshop, Illustrator and hand drawing are getting better and better. So much so that she won second place for her design of the whaleshares logo!
Please check out her post below.

I would like to vote for @paulag. I have been following paula for some time and have taken many of her courses and have followed her to steemit.

Hi. Can someone please help me join a minnow group? I know there are groups on Steemit, and that they really help people grow, but don't know where to find them. THANKS!
Our Discord server is a really good place. We have a rather large community there that is always happy to help minnows. https://discord.gg/RRDzn6c
I nominate this post.
https://steemit.com/life/@dizhmur/how-to-realize-a-dream

I nominate @arbitrarykitten for sharing her story. Makes you think of how people can go from doing well to almost overnight being homeless and then struggle back onto her feet. Kudos to her. Great post. https://steemit.com/life/@arbitrarykitten/it-s-the-little-things-the-pizza-cutter-paradox
You win! Leave me your bitshares/openledger username to claim your prize!
Right on. My bitshares username is procyon21. Is that all you need? Pretty exciting.
Hi @jphenderson I checked my bitshares wallet and see you weren't able to transfer the winnings. Did I do something wrong when I set up my wallet? My username is procyon21 for sure but is there something else you need? Sorry for being a rookie.
I'm sorry, I probably just missed your comment somehow. I sent you a few extra for the wait.
Thank you for that. You certainly didn't have to but I appreciate it. Cheers! :)
I'm nominating @manonlescaut for his detailed explanations of crypto currencies. He's pretty new here on steemit and he works hard on his posts together with his gf who's doing the drawings! Have a look, it's worth it. https://steemit.com/blog/@manonlescaut/3-1-blockchain-a-public-book-where-all-bitcoin-transactions-are-recorded
