☠️ The Concept ☠️

This competition is fairly straight forward.

Each month I will run this competition, and one lucky person will be adopted for one month.
Upon adoption, I will support you for the month by up voting your posts. I will also be here to answer any questions you may have about Steemit.

I will also continue to support my minnows beyond this one month period, and up vote any posts which I find in my feed that I enjoyed.

Why Do This

Well I remember when I was first starting out on Steemit. It can be difficult to find support.
I was very lucky to receive a delegation of 500 steem power from @mattclarke and really appreciate how much it has helped me. When I got the 500 steem power delegation it was like he said here invest 3 grand for a year.
I really appreciated this(thanks bud) and this is what motivates me to help others. Plus it's in my nature ;)
So I would like to offer others a leg up and help them start out on their Steemit journey.

☠️ So What is This Worth? ☠️

Well to start of I will follow everyone who is eligible to enter. So you have a change for me to up vote your posts in my feed :)

First Prize

☣️ My minnow for the month will initially receive 50% of this posts SBD payout, to mark the opening ceremony.
☣️ Regular up votes throughout the month.
☣️ Ongoing future support once my minnow is set free = $$$ the sky is the limit as time goes on this is sure to be huge :)
☣️ For the closing ceremony, I will write a post about my minnow and what I have learned about them. 50% of the SBD generated from that post will go to my minnow as a departure gift.

Runner up 2nd and 3rd

☣️ Runner up 2nd and 3rd place will receive up votes at 50% for 1 week or equivalent.
☣️ I will also transfer 0.100 SBD as constellation prize.

All other entrants

☣️ I will send the first 18 entrants after 3 place 0.100 SBD as a constellation prize. I will take note of order of entries and will limit this to 18 as well if 100 people enter i'll be broke lol. I feel it is good to reward people for taking the time to support this initiative.

☠️ I'm In - How Do I Enter? ☠️

☣️ Entry is really simple.
☣️ You must be level 45 or below reputation score
☣️ Upvote and re-steem this post
☣️ Follow Me
☣️ Add a comment with why you should be chosen

How Are Minnows Picked?

On the day of post payout, I will pick a couple of entries for people I really like. Then I will write those names down on some pieces of paper and draw them from my hat(recorded with gopro).

Going from my last comp it is really difficult to pick a winner as there are some great entries. So the hat works well.

☠️ Some of the fine Details ☠️

☣️ So each day I will up vote 2 posts at 50% up vote, which is about $0.07 or 1 vote at 100% if only one post.

☣️ If you don't post for a few days, I take note of that and will continue to up vote past the month until the missed days are made up for.

☣️ These posts are guaranteed to be up voted, as I will visit your blog each day.

☣️ Any additional posts I see in my feed will be up voted, with a decreasing up vote % per post as I also need to spare up votes for other people on here I support.

☣️ If your posting something every 5 mins, trying to get rewards I most likely won't up vote them.

☣️ Your posts must fall within Steemit user guidelines, and be good content. Photos with a description, credit others when their stuff is used and so fourth.

☣️ If your posting bad content, spamming, abusing people or doing anything frowned upon by the community I reserve the right to un-follow you and stop supporting you. In which case a new competition will be run to find a new minnow.

☣️ I may change the rules as the competition evolves.
