Special thanks to @roleerob who helped me to judge the contest. He got 1 Share along with 2 he could give to any one of his choice. They both went to @patriamreminisci, congrats!

All Shareholders that Entered win 1 Upvoteshare !
It was always my intention to 'overdeliver on the prizes'. Since only 8 out of 70+ Shareholders kept an eye on the posts from this account doing the effort to join I'm able to make everyone a winner. Thanks for Joining and Congrats!

Thanks to everyone for making the nominations (Please let me know if I made a mistake not including anyone). New Shareholders have been added to the upvote list and the percentage from existing Shareholders has been increased. The upvote list from the @minnowshares account will be recycled later today or tomorrow and everyone will be added. Congrats!
More steps today and another Actifit Report that I’m using to help this project grow and give more back to the active Shareholders who are stikking with Steemit. 
PS: I don't know if it is because the names are in the table, or if @steemchiller's steemworld is having a glitch, but I didn't get a mention in my steem world, so others might be missing mention notifications if they only use steemworld like me for that.
I was notified of a mention and came here to see what it was about. WOOT!!!!
THANK-YOU!!!
This program looks interesting. I'll need to look deeper into it.
My own program is not nearly as intricate and it definitely favours those who play my daily games. For now, while there are so few that delegate, I can boost their rewards using my own SP but haven't really calculated how long that can last if a bunch of people join in.
With the low price of steem, it not to bad of a program, I still don't fully understand it, but if the price of steem goes up, then the value of the shares go up, but then they cost more to buy, and I only make a few steem, so the low price has been a boon to me. You like to help people so I thought this might help you.
Unless I calculated wrong, this is actually an excellent program!
I couldn't find a current share price, but found an older one at 4.3 Steem per share.
4.3 steem x 11.63 = 50 steem
If you self-vote 10 times with 50 steem, you would earn 0.012 cents.
I received 0.00287 cents from the share I won. If you multiply that by 11.63 (to make it equivalent to 50 steem), you get 0.03337 cents. That's like using your 50 steem to self-vote 28 times!
Even at 5 Steem per share, the ROI is super.
If the same ROI could be achieved with delegated steem (you can take it back at any time as opposed to transferring steem and relying on the recipient to return it should you wish to pull out) this would be a program people would be crazy not to participate in.
You seem to really get how it all works and the solid ROI the program is able to provide. Unfortunately it all would not work with delegation for multiple reasons and there is some kind of trust needed that I will not run off with the Steem that was send to the account. I also clearly stated that in the terms & conditions post where the entire model is explained.
In the end this will remain a rather small 'proof of concept' project as I wanted to find solutions for many of the existing upvote groups. I explained all of that in this
So far everything is working out exactly as I hoped :-)
Nice to see you took the time to check it out @happyme!
That was a cool contest full of rewards. I was not expecting one for shareholders just to nominate (maybe I did not carefully read the mechanics 😄). Either way, thank you!
Congratulations to @oliviackl and all the winners! Thanks too to @costanza and @roleerob for working on all the nominations. 👍🙏
Congrats @macoolette, the contest was more a thank you to the sharholders that are more actively involved in this project since it has been running steadily for about a year now, so Thank you for that !
Happy to do it @macoolette. Thank you for your effort to nominate @oliviackl!
Thank you @macoolette for the nomination 😍 What a surprise.. 😀

Thanks for the mention and for the share. I suppose I'll have to dig in and find out why I was mentioned and given a share and what that means 🤔😁

To answer, @upvoteshares is a project that provides daily upvotes with good returns which always increase to it's shareholders. The project is nearly 1 year old and as a way to thank existing shareholders (along with a way to spread the word) there was a giveaway contest where only shareholders could join. You were nominated by @beat-the-bookies and will receive daily ~0.01$ upvotes from the @minnowshares account the next ~25 days. You will also have a chance to win an share in the @upvoteshares account in the upcoming contest (more info on the project will be included in that post, for more info how it all works you can check here)
I hope this helps explain it.
Thanks a lot for the explanation. DIdn't know about the project, sorry.
@beat-the-bookies, thanks, I appreciate it!
The spots are very limited which is one of the reasons why it's possible for the program to give very good returns and so far it never really needed to make any kind of promotion as Shares usually sell out pretty quickly. There is a maximum amount of shares one can get based on the SP they own and many of the bigger shareholders are nearly at the point where they reach that point. So it slowly becomes time for the program to start getting some more exposure. Feel free to check it out, it can be quite a lot to grasp at first but everything is based on numbers and they are really proving to be solid a year into it.
If I would have known that you were nominated I would have backed up the nomination!
Sorry that I missed it!
Me neither :)
Hope it wont! The good part is that there isn’t a lot of volume. So the stats could be in our favor!
Thank you for the opportunity to continue to spread some love around to deserving folks! It is much appreciated. :)
Great choices @upvoteshares!
Always hard to make a choice!
Glad that @jaynie made it to the list!
Very nice how you handled this and everyone walks away a winner, thank you very much, I know this has helped my account grow, and I am sure it will help many others.
Nice to hear the program is helping you to grow @bashadow, that's the main intention of it all :-)
Nice touch to 'over deliver on the prizes' @upvoteshares / @costanza! Hopefully, in the future, there will be more shareholder "eyes" on these posts. A lot to like!
Thanks for all you do to make this program possible. Keep up the great work! 👍
So far it has worked out exactlty as I hoped and also provides my @costanza account with good daily upvotes . So I'm glad to be a shareholder myself and will do the best I can to continue moving it forward.
Thanks again for your participation in it all @roleerob, it really helped a lot during the first year
My pleasure @upvoteshares / @costanza ...
... "onward and upward" into the second year! 👍
