We are going to give the new changes at least another week to see how everyone likes them. Seems like those who voiced an opinion for the most part liked the changes, but we still would like to hear from those who didn't let us know last week.
Please read the rules section to understand the changes.
The Pay It Forward Curation Contest is all about increasing exposure for undervalued high quality posts and increase the level of engagement on steemit. You can take part by entering the contest or just helping visit the entries and their featured posts. Everyone chooses their level of involvement and we appreciate the efforts of everyone who helps promote quality content on Steemit.
| Make sure to check back to this post often and scroll to the end to see a list of this week's curation entries! This list is updated on a regular basis to help make it easy for you to visit the entries and help support the great content that has been curated. |

How to Enter the Pay It Forward Curation Contest?
To enter the Curation Contest you will find 2 high quality blog posts written by reputation level 65 or lower steemians and then write a curation style blog post like this entry by @viking-ventures from week 16 which won a Judges Choice Award. The idea is to highlight both posts and why you thought they were high quality.
| To be clear the Level 65 max is only for the bloggers who are featured, anyone may submit a curation entry. |
|---|
Rules:
- Curation Style Post that highlights your 2 featured blog posts.
- Link to the high quality undervalued (less then $1 earnings at time of featuring) blog posts in your curation post. Keep in mind that many will follow this link and upvote so pick a post that isn't close to payout!
- Include a link to this contest in your entry post
- The 2 bloggers you curate need to be rank 65 or below
- You need to comment on this post with a link to your post, this is how we track everything
- You must Upvote and Comment on the posts you are featuring
👉👉Clarification for Quality Required for valid Entry👈👈
We are looking for Quality Original Content and that post spells out what that means. If you are new please read it.
No less then 200 words of original written content. So a single photo is fine as long as there is 200 words with it. 200 words is about 12 lines of content.
** Art posts that show at least 3 steps of progression will not need to have 200 words of content, but still attempt to explain their art. Please use some common sense here.
Posts from Parley and dmania are not acceptable.

Man the weeks sure fly by! Looking forward to what this week brings😊
Here's my first entry. That was fun, actually! Expect me!
Thanks @chekohler for constantly mentioning it.
Entry #14
Just an FYI you were a few hours late for the cut off, but counting the entry anyways. The earlier in the week you can get this done the better as many people don't come back at the very end to see if there are new entries. So more support tends to be given to the earlier entries.
Thanks for joining us and look forward to seeing who you feature next week!
Of course. You also mention it in the post and it makes a lot of sense obviously. I just wanted to participate when I saw another @pifc post. Next time! Thanks for the explanation. See you next time. :)
Make sure to take advantage of "Pimp Your Post" each week. It's an easy way to share 1 of your own posts and tell us why we should visit. That post just went up and goes up each week at this same time.
Already on it. :) I upvoted, resteemed and just checked out and commented on @deeanndmathews superb post.
I missed last week, and I didn't want that to happen again, so here's my entry:

@cloudblade Can you take this information and put it into a post? The link you leave here should be to your entry post. This allows your followers to see you supporting other people and hopefully then follow your links and support them too.
Take a look at the other entries to see the format of how your entry post should look.
Sorry,
I misunderstood the participation method.

Entry #13
You had plenty of time to spare. The cut off is still 75 minutes away, or about 12 hours after you entered. I use midnight Chicago Time (CST).
Here is my entry:

This is my first time entering the contest, hope I have followed all rules, let me know incase I need to fix something.
Entry #12
Everything looked good and great to have you joining us.
Please find my entry for this week
Entry #11
I decide to stay with some of the old rules and try to find posts that are below 55 SP. It's much more challenging but I think those authors need a bit more love. That being said I do support you this initiative!
Here is my entry
https://steempeak.com/@jacuzzi/ebtuw-jacuzzi-s-curated-posts-hmmm-a-few-worth-checking-out-vol
The first author looks like he's been posting every day and working on his English.
The second author writes poems along with a nice photo.
Both I believe are worthy of some steem love~ :D
Thank you~
Entry #5
This sounds like a fun and worthwhile initiative! I'm going to give it a go!

Entry 6
Hope you are still having fun with it!
Of course! It's nice to be able to help newer accounts out! Something to keep an eye out for during the week!
There is a confusion. In first part it is said the eligible bloggers of rank 55 or less, in next part it is 65. I think it may be a writing mistake.
All in all, good going @pifc
Hola @sherbanu! El concurso se inicio con 55 de reputacion.
Pero la semana pasada y esta semana,se cambio la regla y se permite una reputacion hasta 65 o inferior. Un abrazo
Hello @celinavisaez! Can you translate your words in English? I don't understand your language.
Thank you, yes I missed that one. It's reputation level 65 for this week again. Pretty sure we will be keeping this part of the changes for sure. There are tons of good bloggers with higher rep scores that aren't seeing good rewards which we can help out.
Good decision @pifc, it will definitelyi help out undervalued bloggers.
I will be back this week sorry been so busy.
