1. What's new and important?

@remlaps is sponsoring a contest for two Facebook ads during the month of August. If you'd like an article to be promoted, please comment here - Visibility contest!!! Give me your best #classical-music post!. Even if you don't have a nomination, please visit the post regularly to vote on other peoples' submissions. Only 6 days remain, and no articles have been submitted yet!
We have created a steemauto curation trail. Please follow it to help support the authors in our community with your voting power.

Facebook gave us a $10 credit to promote Quixote in New York, LIVE AT HOME /por @titin, so we launched our second page promotional effort. Thanks, Facebook!
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of the content creators who are helping #classical-music related posting to grow on steemit.
We would also like to express our gratitude to our Facebook audience for sharing and "Liking" our posts, which will help raise Steemit awareness among the classical music community on facebook.

2. Thank you to our delegators

We spend a good number of hours each week voting to support quality authors in the classical music topic area. That support is made possible by steem power delegations from @alexworld, @cmp2020, @remlaps, and the @classical.music sister account. We welcome additional delegations!

3. Roundup issue #27

In the time since our last roundup post, we have shared 8 posts from the categories that we monitor on the Steemit's Best Classical Music Facebook page.

Here are the articles that we shared on Facebook. One post is still eligible for payout votes, so you know what to do!

As with our previous roundup posts, each of these authors will receive a proportional share of this roundup post's liquid author rewards (Steem and SBD, not SteemPower).

note: Although we don't currently envision changing this practice, this reward sharing distribution is subject to change without notice, at our sole discretion.

4. What is this initiative?

To introduce the wider community to steemit.com, we launched the facebook page, Steemit's Best Classical Music in April 2017, and we are monitoring a number of classical music related categories (and others) on steemit. We share the best posts that we find about classical music on the facebook page.

The point of this is to raise steemit awareness and visibility among people on facebook who share an interest in classical music. Additionally, to bring further attention to the best articles and authors that we find, in June of 2017 we began sharing periodic roundup articles here on steemit.

5. Sharing guidelines

Standards for sharing are subjective, but here are some guidelines to show the kinds of the things that we look for:

Original steem blockchain content
Attractive formatting
Well written grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc.
Roughly 500 to 2,000 words in length
English language text (Sorry, that's the only language we know.)
Supplementary video embeds from other platforms - such as youtube - are encouraged when accompanied by original steem block chain content.
Word length expectations will be relaxed for videos of original performances or compositions by the steemit author.
Sharing of articles by a single author will be limited to one or two per week.
If the "heart of the post" is made up of audio or video content, it must be accessible by embedded media in the post on steemit.com.

6. How you can help.

This initiative is intended to promote steemit, and to strengthen the classical music ecosystem here, so if you share these goals we would appreciate your support! Here are some ways you can help:

Follow our steemauto curation trail.
Contribute your own original content about classical music to the steem block chain. Use the "classical-music" hashtag or category.
If you have a facebook account, "Like" the Steemit's Best Classical Music Facebook page, and adjust the settings to see all of our posts.
Reshare articles from our facebook page with your facebook friends.
Resteem our roundup articles.
Use your upvotes to support the authors of articles that we find and share.
Let us know if there are any articles that we have overlooked.
Delegate steempower to the @classical-music account to give weight to our votes for authors of classical content.
This is a user driven initiative with no whale support, and we're making it up as we go, so we enthusiastically welcome your ideas.

Thank you for your continued support and for taking the time to view this post!
