Sort: ย 

I have, but the winners are often automated votes and that isnโ€™t really engagement.

Also, with the 200 STEEM monthly data access cost, prizes need to be reserved for the EL. Cheers ๐Ÿ˜

Ok my friend, I agree. Then you could give the prize only to real users, you know who they are. For example, Iโ€™m often in the first positions and Iโ€™m not a bot (and Iโ€™m not the only one).
Iโ€™m saying this because the curation is even more important with new steem and I think the best curators deserve to be awarded.
Thank you very much, a big hug ๐Ÿค—
