The Pay It Forward Curation Contest is all about increasing exposure for high quality posts and increase the level of engagement on steemit. You can take part by entering the contest or just helping visit the entries and their featured posts. Everyone chooses their level of involvement and we appreciate the efforts of everyone who helps promote quality content on Steemit.
No changes of note so for the regulars go start curating and those of you who are here for the first time welcome and read below for the rules.
Note: @lynncoyle1 was planning to get back into the action this week, but her son is coming into town! She is taking it easy on Steemit this week, but said she will return next week. Until then you are stuck with me (@thedarkhorse) for one more week of judging.
Make sure to check back to this post often and scroll to the end to see a list of this week's curation entries!
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.

No this is not a curation post that meets the rules which are clearly spelled out including an example that has been linked to. This contest is about featuring other people, not yourself.
But we do offer a place to promote your own post on our Pimp Your Post project.
Please delete the link from this page @schachoberhessen and feel free to add it to Pimp Your Post.

What you mean with this ? We are new here - we see just possibility Reply and Edit at our post and no way to delete them.

Dropping links that aren't related to the post is not a good practice. So edit your comment and delete the link and the self promotion. Other people's posts is not the place for self promotion.

Sorry I told that we are new here.
So if you want that I delete the link than tell me how it should work.
I cannot delete the reply because I can only reply or edit.
So if I take edit and take out the link I get the message:
"Transaction broadcast error."
with Pop up:
"RPCError: missing required posting authority"
So tell us if it is now ok or not ?
If not than please tell exactly what we should do.
We have not recently postet this here wrong, maybe I read not correctly the discription - it's possible.
English is not my native language.

I looked now again.
I thought you know things here.
If I look to my replies here I can delete the replies where nobody answerred until now - is this correct ?
So I really cannot understand you in this case (when I am correct), because you answer me that I should delete but obvisiouly you destroyed the possibilty to delete with you reply - or I understand something wrong ?
I mean if you are here for a Long time you should know about this regulations here I think.
If I missundertand something, that let me know, but if I look now correctly to this here I think it was your own reply who make now the Problem with deleting.

Read clearly before being rude. Step 1 click EDIT, Step 2 DELETE the LINK and SELF PROMOTION.

He isn't asking you to delete the entire comment, just to "edit" the comment and delete the link you posted in the comment. There is another thread on the @pifc page that is more appropriate for your link.
Does that make more sense?
This contest is about finding other bloggers who are high-quality and under-valued and promoting them in a post. It's a great way to meet people and get involved in a community.
The error you mentioned sounds like you weren't logged in at that moment. (Make sure you've used your posting key.) Or sometimes, it just does that, and you have to try again.
