Welcome to the sixth Make a Minnow contest!
This initiative is about finding a deserving minnow who has a strong and positive influence in the PAL/MSP community and giving them a delegation prize as a reward for their efforts! Giving our minnows the opportunity to have increased curation influence benefits the entire Steemit ecosystem and should be considered a great honour.
Our last winner was @torico who was awarded a 5000 SP delegation for one month! Congratulations! @clayboyn was also awarded an additional prize of 1000 SP. The Prizes are courtesy of @eturnerx who we would like to thank for his generosity!
Now we need to find the next deserving recipient! Please take note of the rules if you would like to participate, as ineligible nominations will not be counted!
Make A Minnow Rules, Roles and Procedures
Structure
We intend to run two Make a Minnow (MaM) Contests per month.
The winner of each Contest is awarded a 5000SP delegation for 4 weeks.
Each Contest is held in two rounds: The Nomination Round and the Voting Round.
All Contest posts are made from the @msp-makeaminnow account and resteemed by @minnowsupport on Steemit.
Each Contest will have three posts as detailed below.
- The First post announces a new MaM Contest and its rules. The post also signifies the start of the Nomination Round. Nominations from eligible voters (eligibility conditions described below) are made as comments on this post. This nomination has to state the name of the nominee to be deemed valid. Nominations may also include a link to a post in support of the nomination. Eligible voters have one week to complete this step.
Nominee Selection for the Voting Round. A nominee requires at least two valid nominations to go into the Voting Round. The top three nominees, by count of valid nominations, go into the Voting Round. In the event of a tie, more than three nominees may go into the Voting Round.
- The Second post announces the start of the Voting Round and lists the nominees that have been selected. Eligible voters that nominated during the Nomination Round have one week to comment on the second post with their vote from the list of selected nominees.
Winner Selection, the winner is the nominee who receives the most valid votes in the Voting round. There is a single winner: in the event of a tie, a dice roll will take place on the MSP discord to determine the winner. This will be done by the MaM organizer with at least two moderators as witnesses.
- The Third post announces the MaM Contest winner and signifies the end of the Contest. Post rewards will be set to 100% power up. We intend to grow MaM’s ability to offer more prizes and to reduce our reliance upon sponsors.
Nominator Lottery, get your tickets today!!
TO UNLOCK: The nomination round must reach the following two targets to activate the Nominator Lotto:

- Each nominator who gives a valid nomination gets an entry.
- Each nominator who writes a nomination posts and links it in their nomination comment gets an additional entry
- Anybody who can make a valid nomination is eligible for this Lotto; except the MaM sponsors and MaM organizers.
- Prizes are awarded randomly. Each person may win only once.

Huge thanks to @eturnerx, @juliakponsford and @sammosk for brainstorming up this awesome incentive that we hope will increase the eligible pool of nominated and nominating members!

I would like to nominate @topkpop because she has been an outstanding member of #thealliance and very supportive of and helpful to all Steempeeps she comes across. Her posts are often highly undervalued and she puts some seriously good content out there in the form of vlogs and many written works. Her children's stories are great! So ya, that's my nomination.
I support this nomination. Love this girl! @topkpop is very supportive and she always makes people feel important through her deeds and encouragements. <3 <3 <3

So deserving of a nomination
Agree @topkpop is a great nomination. She's always willing to lend an ear if you need anything. I fully support this nomination and agree she is very deserving.
I second this. @topkpop is indeed playing a huge role in helping minnows grow. She interacts with members of #thealliance and encourages them to be better and get in touch with more people too. Also, her posts are of great quality and she does her best to bring something new to the limelight.

I'm glad to see @topkpop's nomination, truly well-deserving.
As had been said countless times here, she is very supportive and welcoming of new/old steemians she encounters.

You can't self-nominate (I realise you're not here), but so it helps to get very involved in the MSP community so that others want to nominate you.
