Welcome to The Daily Sneak!!!
We have officially increased our prize levels!
We reward quality content, AND content curators! Come for the crypto, stay for the community!
You can win up to 15 SBI per accepted submission for guest curating The Daily Sneak. Submission requirements are published at the bottom of each edition of The Daily Sneak.
This ongoing curation contest is no resteem, no upvote, no follow required.
Today's curation is provided by our resident editor, @josephsavage. While I was poking around on Steem today, I found a fun and interesting theme for today's curation selections.
The Sneaked Selections
Scavenger Hunt Contest, Week #1 - 13 Steem+ 2 SBI in Prizes @c-squared / @c-cubed
This first post introduces the theme. The Scavenger Hunt is a new curation contest that is being hosted by @randomwanderings on @c-cubed curation account. There is a list of items and the idea is to find unique Steem posts that include each item and then publish your selections. Hopefully participants will also interact with the people that wrote the posts they discover?
My Scavenger Hunt
This first entry that was submitted to the contest is from @bidesign. I'm not sure about his santa hat but it looks like he covered all the bases! I would count the same posts for cannon and fire but maybe that's cheating? He found another fire post, so good job @bidesign!
His strategy was to focus his curation efforts on the 'Gaming' tag. Check out his entry and the posts he curates in his submission!
Contest Entry: C-Squared Scavenger Hunt
Did you figure out the theme yet? This entry was by @thilah. In her introduction it sounds like she got a little obsessed with finding all the listed items... I love that she made her own graphic for her scavenger hunt post!
Would it be too meta to use her Santa Claus graphic for your own find in that category? Check out her entry and the posts she curates in her submission!
Scavenger Hunt Contest: Here I go!
If you still don't know the theme... we need to have a chat about your deductive reasoning skills! @wiseagent uses a similar format to that used by @bidesign, though I appreciate the use of article titles with hyperlinks, instead of just raw html links. Another goblin... is a goblin hat a santa hat? Is Santa Claus a goblin instead of an Elf? That's a scary thought!
Check out his entry and the posts he curates in his submission!
Conclusion
I hope you liked this meta-theme, where we illustrate the fun and intrigue of the curation process, instead of just curating some interesting articles. Think of it as getting... 30 for the price of three. And since you don't even have to upvote, the price is free!
Now go get your own entries into the contest! It's not over until it's over.
Each of these highlighted articles receives full upvotes and resteems from @thedailysneak, along with beneficiary rewards from this post. Our featured writers sometimes earn more from their beneficiary rewards on this post than from their post itself! In addition, @thedailysneak sponsors featured writers for Steem Basic Income!
Submission Requirements
On to the submission requirements for The Daily Sneak:
- You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
- All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
- You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will not be accepted. We also check for plagiarism and only highlight original content.
- Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
- We try to spread the love around, so while selections from authors that have been highlighted before are welcome, they might not be included if the author's last inclusion was recent. Similarly, if you include two articles from the same author in one submission, we will typically highlight only one of the two.
- Be sure to include your personal bio for me to introduce you to readers, and make sure that each selection has commentary. This can be just a few sentences about why you think the selection is worth our attention, or what is great about it - something that will make people want to click through the headline and check out the actual article. English is preferred, but other languages will be considered as long as English translation is included.
- Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
- Including image links to the source article is not required (and we prefer to leave some mystery if photography is highlighted and the article has only one photo.) However, we like to include images in The Daily Sneak, and not including any image links may decrease the likelihood of your submissions being published.
If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen for several different reasons. If you are unsure why an article was cut, please review the submission guidelines again. If you are still unsure, feel free to ask politely why it was cut.
Submission Reward
A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 3 SBI for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 15 SBI for each accepted submission!
With Steem Basic Income now upvoting comments for members that have not posted within the last 7 days, and SBI having proven to be a great value proposition, we chose to rewards curators with SBI. This will help The Daily Sneak continue in its mission to discover and reward quality content creators and curators.

Well... Talking about the santa hat controversy (haha!):
I can see a gnome wearing a Santa hat (just doesn't have the white ball on the tip of his hat). It's different from the first entry.
I didn't want to use @thilah image because I thought it would be an undue act (because she created it exactly for the contest).
A santa hat is a fun quest for the contest, since there aren't many Christmas in May posts going around.
Maybe somebody showing off steemitboard achievements that picked up a holiday badge?
@thedailysneak, Very interesting contest and definitely it will going to boost both Point Of Support and Point Of Engagement.
Keep up with these kind of initiatives. Stay blessed.

Pffffft yep, sounds about right! Thanks again for the feature~
Thanks for featuring the contest and the entrants! You actually missed that the third entrant used 2 contest posts for their items. One had 14 posts listed within it, and the other had 16. So technically you got 60!
Aww I guess I did miss that!
