So many people have superstitions about numbers, black cats, and so forth. To me I've always found going against the grain of the masses helps me succeed. While many view 13 as an Unlucky Number, to me it's always been one I like as others don't. Right now to go against the grain I'm buying more BTC today which then will be used to buy more Steem once it clears in 2 weeks. Can't tell you how many times I said "I wish I had bought more Steem when it was around $1." Well here is that opportunity and I plan to capitalize on it.
Anyways onto the reason you are here, Week 13 of the Pay It Forward Curation Contest! New theme for the Bonus Featured Blogger, but if you want to use this theme across all Featured Blogger that would be fun too. 100% up to you on that part.
Optional: Themed 3rd Featured Blogger (New Theme)
This week for the Optional 3rd Featured Blogger the theme will be Artist Based. So any blog post that is music, creative writing, drawing, photography, or any other form of Art and there are no restrictions on the Reputation Score for the Optional Blogger, just find us a Quality Post to View!
Week 13 Rules (No Changes From Week 12)
For week 13 you will need a curation style entry that includes 2 High Quality Original Content Blog Posts from Level 50 or Below Bloggers.
- Curation Style Post of 2 Bloggers who are posting Quality Original Content
- Link to 1 recent blog post per featured blogger. 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 Must Be Rank 50 or Lower!
- You need to comment on this post with a link to your post, this is how I track everything!
👉👉Clarification for Quality Required for valid Entry👈👈
We are looking for Quality Original Content. We want to see 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.
Posts from Parley and dmania are not acceptable.
