Hey, guys, there was a time where I made a post about some people and asked you if you know them. Some of you did. They were some Youtubers I am following. And one of them Marques Brownlee known as MKBHD got rewarded as the Creator of the Decade!
Again guys! He got rewarded as the creator of the decade.
Ok, ok I can understand when you are not impressed, especially when you don’t know him. MKBHD is a Tec Youtuber. All his videos are related to tec related Products like Smartphones, Notebooks, Camera gear etc. Tools a modern creator needs or could need in our days.
He started over ten years ago creating YouTube videos led by his passion to create Videos about Tec related products. Back then he didn’t know that one day he will be such a big influencer and earning money with that. Two things I want to highlight.
In my opinion, he is a great example how far your passion can bring you. Without thinking about money or another kind of rewards, just following your passion and sharing that with others. Not only that also his patience to do this for such a long time.
Of course, a time came where he earned money and realised the potential of YouTube which for sure motivates him, but the first years I think there were not big earnings. If you know it better, feel free to correct me, my friend.
As I saw his latest video yesterday, I thought that we here on Steemit also need awards. I know that already author challenges exist which is good. But I mean something bigger, where only the content counts and of course with an attractive prize to win. For example 500 STEEM for the first place? Sounds huge? But I think that would be an interesting motivation. 😏
In my imagination, it is like the witness voting.
People can vote for their creator of the year for example. Keep in mind these are just raw thoughts. Nothing seriously worked out yet.
In my opinion, this would need a separate interface where we can see the different creators in a specific way. And there people can vote for them. STEEM Power doesn’t matter. How much STEEM you have doesn’t matter just how good you are in creating and of course how good can you promote yourself that people vote for you. I know this could be a difficult part to execute in a way that even a newbie would have a chance.
I think if I would have the time this is something I would try to execute on this platform.
Or a Steemit/Dtube trophy when someone reached a certain amount of followers(YouTube play button), yes, I know it doesn’t mean really something. I hope that will change in the future and it will when more people are finding their way into this community and the stay here.
Just some thoughts I want to share with you guys.
What do you say? Let me know it in the comment section below.
I answered some questions Steemians asked me. When you are interested just click on the thumbnail below.
Would be a cool idea, with categories profi-steemian, amateur-steemian, beginner or new steemian of the year, for his life work .....

This would be a great idea if you can start it and another thing you need to consider is sustainibility and unbaiseness in picking awardees.
One day I would want to win the award of the best fiction writer on steemit and that would be very impressive and motivating.

The beginning is for everyone hard my friend. I can totally understand you. But honestly, this is normal. Noone knows you so far or some friends you have.
But nothing in life which last long comes easy my friend.
I see a big demand on these topics. I think I have to write about it again.
But my number one advice for everyone here: Be active here. Put your name out there. Comment a lot and then people will visit your profile and then they have to see good content. Its all about perception!

I think this is a great idea! I am all for awards like this because it challenges people to step up their game. It will help create truly inspirational content! The more content that is inspired and passion driven the faster Steemit will grow. This platform will be known for having incredible content that is thoughtful and original! And who doesn't want to read something like that? I know I do!
That is why I joined Steem under two months ago, I heard that this platform has some of the best content on social media and for the most part that is true! I think awards like the one you are proposing will just elevate this platform even more! :)
So, my answer is... Yes! Great idea! :)

It is a good idea. But it's going to favor the veterans more. From the little I've observed , most people don't read contents, but will up vote you based on your popularity. And sadly, this puts newbie in a disadvantaged position.

And again for that, we would have to figure out a way where all are equal.
A challenge but not impossible. :)

If you are passionate about what you're doing you will really succeed! I totally a great idea @modernpastor, there should be a Steemian Awards. Maybe the witnesses can start this on the platform this 2018 on an international convention. This will be a huge event for Steemian around the world! :)

I agree with the idea, but it will take a lot of time to implement something like this in a fair way.
Because you need someone to elect the creator of the decade and who are the right persons to be impartial and consider every single one in the community...
