C³ - the Curation Collective blog

Engaged! C-Squared Readers' Choice Contest - FULL RULES
The @c-squared account will place a 12 Steem Bounty on this weekly contest post, published every Sunday.
How to claim the bounty
Bounty hunters (you the reader!) must leave a comment in reply to this post with a link to a post recently upvoted/resteemed by @c-squared (still in payout) and an explanation of why you liked this post.
PLEASE NOTE To be eligible for bounty payout, three criteria must be met:
- The comment must include a valid URL of a post recently upvoted/resteemed by @c-squared (still in payout at the time the comment is left).
- The comment must include a non-spammy/non-generic explanation of why you liked the linked post.
- A non-spammy/non-generic comment must be left in reply to the linked post as well.
The @c-squared account will upvote comment(s) that satisfy the above criteria, determining who gets the bounty (if multiple comments are upvoted by @c-squared the bounty will be split). The C-Squared admins will review all comment entries and the best comments will receive a larger % vote, thus receiving more of the bounty.
ONLY ONE COMMENT PER USER WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR BOUNTY You are welcome to leave as many comments below as you want to help highlight the awesome posts curated through @c-squared, but only your first comment will be eligible for bounty payout.
Spam commenters and users who are obviously copying existing comments in hope of upvote and bounty will be flagged.
Examples of comments that would be too spammy/generic to qualify for the contest (this is a non-exhaustive list): "I like this post"; "Nice post"; "Cool post"; "This post was my favorite", etc. What we are looking for is why you liked a post, what in specific you liked about it, how the post made you feel, and in general looking for thoughtful responses that prove you actually read the post and enjoyed it.
Engagement League Booster Prize
In the spirit of C-Squared's mission to encourage engagement on the Steem blockchain, we would like to encourage users to participate in @abh12345's League of Engagement.

I liked the artwork of: https://steemit.com/art/@halzart/ilustration . He didn't ask his readers to comment and give advice to the color he had given to the jacket in his sketch; but, his post gave me the impression that he DID want advice on what color he should have given to the jacket on the character in his sketch. I gave him my advice and a good comment on his talented abilities of his artwork.
Ah shoot I missed your comment while the bounty was still active, next time leave your comment in reply to the actual post so I see it in the @c-cubed replies. Thanks for nominating a solid art post and even more so for leaving constructive feedback for the artist :) Cheers - Carl on behalf of @c-squared
👍🙂
The post by @carlgnash really make me see how art can be interpreted in a more than perfect way, not only to convey a message, art can be poetically interpreted to speak horror, essence, life, stick fear and punch heart with good choice of words and thia poem did justice to that.

My pick is by @goat-girlz for https://steemit.com/homesteading/@goat-girlz/sublime-sunday-with-baby-goats. A great post for anyone not familiar with farm animals.
It’s a delightful post on the baby goat and how it is getting along. Her post gives an insight into how she cares for the newborn goats and mother. Goat-girlz had to milk one side of the mother goat’s udder to relieve pressure as the kids were only nursing on one side. This will right itself eventually.
Along with the goat photos there were beautiful flowers, bright red strawberries you wanted to pick right out of the computer and a lovely droplet.

I really like the history of the countries and I would like to travel and know part of that history, regretfully I do not have that happiness to travel and find publications like these that give us a bit of the history of each nation is something very valuable to me.

I chose @jacuzzi's New Drawing for today, because it has that quality of a piece of art such that as terrifying as it is to look at -- images of blooming, fragrant life interwined with old, indisputable death, though guised in costume jewels -- it is still remarkably beautiful. It strikes me somewhat as Picasso's Guernica does ... if @jacuzzi were to color it, it would be even more terrifying, and even more beautiful.

I found extremely enjoyable reading the post about Market Friday by @trudeehunter.
It combines excellent photography with so pleasant reading, @trudeehunter is an amazing story teller. She has this subtle sense of humour that I like so much.
There are some very interesting facts about bamboo cloths along with many other unique items one can purchase.

I love the art work! To me, it depicts the dual nature of man. The body which is obvious and the spirit which one cannot describe in totality.
It is beautiful.

I liked this publication because it is one of the most traditional and simple desserts that can be made, in Venezuela, I can affirm that the humblest people do it frequently, since the ingredients are not very expensive and are accessible, I love desserts bittersweet!

It is a typical Venezuelan recipe, but improved! I like those combinations and small innovations in the traditional, so it evolves in the kitchen, combining flavors that have not been tested.

https://steemit.com/ocd/@armandosodano/the-dance-of-history-mixed-media-la-danza-della-storia-tecnica-mista
In this article, Mr. Armando explained the bridge between universal works of art and his own works. His shadow and projection works are very successful. He showed his passion for primitive and indigenous art by visiting and pouring the places he visited. As a picasso fan, the author often benefited from the connotations and illusions like him.

https://steemit.com/spanish/@rpcaceres/dibujo-a-mano-vs-dibujo-en-digital-arte
I like it because it comments on the value that drawings have at hand, and that feeling that transports it to its infacia, which makes a drawing by hand and not a digital image.

To claim a share of the bounty here you should explain what you like about the drawing - why do you like it? Just saying it is cool and you like it could be a spam comment that could be left without even opening the post.
ok sir! She explains how she create ir step by step in her post and her drawing style is very clear. That why I like it. Sorry for inconvenience.

No worries at all, thanks for the reply :)
I replied to this post https://steemit.com/qurator/@joelai/qurator-s-tasty-tuesday-79-home-cooked-meal because I really love how the article was written, the quality of the pictures and the interesting recipe.
great contest I will look for my entry
I tried to find one but most are written.in a language I can not read. My connection is too slow to translate it all.
One I thought could be a great one considering the title/subject but the 500 words were talking about everything except the subject.
Looks like your native language is German / Deutsch? We currently don't have any German curation but if you are interested, our basic requirement is at least 3 native speakers who will curate posts (bring in good posts in the language). If you know at least two other German speakers who would be interested in curating for c-squared we could make a Deutsch channel :) Cheers
My native language is Dutch so not German but I could ask around in the German community.
Posted using Partiko Android
oh I looked at your blog and thought I saw German language posting - my mistake :) We have done Dutch curation in the past at c-squared although the curators who were doing that have mostly stopped. If you want to curate Dutch language posts, just request the "curator" role in the c-squared discord (link is in every c-squared comment) and drop it in the #dutch-curation channel and tag @dutch-curators to review. Cheers
No, I don't want to curate the Dutch since I do not join the community. Just started to post in Dutch again once in a while.
I mainly write in English and look for good posts if it comes to freewriting (also in German) and started with payitforward now too.
I also join the daily freewriting in German.
I just wrote a freewrite in German and hope you find some native speakers.

I have enjoyed reading this Post. I really like the idea of what csquare is doing for the curators.

This story, although short, touched something in me. It is an example of how criticism with bad intentions of others can cause us to become what they say we are.

Hi, I'm coming to bring you this post from @artmedina.
I chose this post because I found the result rather tender. It is an animation of a handmade drawing about an indigenous girl, posts of this type are almost never found.
