We are looking forward to seeing members contributions to our second Blog of The Week Challenge. Again @pandamama was first out of the starting blocks, so check out her post in the comments here.
But first, some news
Silver bloggers is now officially part of @ocd's incubation programme! Here's a snippet from the curation update post which you can read in full here:
Thanks, too, to all you you, who are making this community what it is and to @acidyo and his team that do sterling work all over the blockchain.
Back to this week's #Bow Topic
This week's topic -
"embracing silver"
Our #silverbloggers let their imagination go. One of our resident funny men is learning new things, and first time contributor, @justclickindiva is offering some silver sage advice.
How to enter your post for the Blog of the Week (#BoW)
- Posts must be in English and obviously centre on the week’s topic.
- Prose must be a minimum of 350 words. If it’s a photo or graphic essay, the photos must be your original work and preferably with some sort of back-story to the images.
- The blog must be posted in/from our community.
- #bow - blog of the week must be the first tag.
- Share the link to your contribution in the comments of this post.
Deadlines
The contest closes at midnight GMT (also known as UTC) on Monday 14 June 2021 and the winners will be announced a couple of days later.
The panel
Thanks to the panel of international judges, all of whom have been around the block…chain for a while. At the helm, of course is our fearless leader, Lizelle, supported by fellow South African, @papilloncharity, from the US, talented writer and author, @ericvancewalton and bringing up the rear, @fionasfavourites. We may, as the initiative grows, draw in the help of other Silver Bloggers, either as guest judges or to choose the weekly topic.
Recusal
Although members of the judges' the panel may decide to contribute to the topic of the week, none of their posts will be eligible to get a #bow.
Prizes and the prize pool
Each week, the winner will receive 50% of the rewards on the post announcing the winning post and the new topic and to ensure that the winner gets his/her prize, that account will be set as a beneficiary of that post winnings which makes it easy, fair and transparent.
To begin with, the prizes will be necessarily small but as our community and the account grows, so will the prizes. In time, we may add more prizes to the challenge. This brings me to how grateful we to all of you who have added to our delegation pool - and what we can do with the account, for the community.
Thank you to our most recent new delegators, benign Silver Witch, @traciyork, @antikus369, @bengy and @owasco.
If you'd like to delegate, you can do so either from your wallet or using the handy table at the end of this post. Also, you can add the account to your fanbase and give all community posts an auto upvote - of a weight that you determine. Every little bit helps.
Special silver names
Welcome to those who have just joined the ranks of Hive's Silver Bloggers. Have you chosen your Sassy Silver name yet, I've just "labelled" our @traciyork, but as with everyone, it's her prerogative to accept or reject it. Pop on over to @lizelle's post and if/once you've decided let us know, and we'll do the rest!
Finally - the deadline looms...
We look forward to your entries to this week's edition of Blog of the Week.
Have fun!
The Silver Bloggers' BOW team

Come and join our Silver Bloggers community
Hello @hive-106316 Thank you so much for the mention. Yes, it's simple sage advice on tackling that dreaded Monday. I'm sure there are many others who have figured out how to defeat that nemesis.
I appreciate the Silver Blogger's support and enjoy being a part of the Community.
Take care everyone, and have a nice rest of your week.
Thank you too for your contribution, much appreciated!
All good day or evening already! Everything is good and excellent, but I just can't understand the direction in the community's creativity - what, in fact, should I write about on the #Bow topic? Who will explain everything to me normally so that I understand? But I'm just ready to write posts and participate in the development of the Silver bloggers community.
As you said in response to my #bow blog, you now understand the contest topic and we look forward to reading how you are 'embracing silver'.
Yes. Now I am writing, and tomorrow morning there will be my post.
Thank you!
