Want to Go to STEEMFEST? Are you a MINNOW? The Minnow Support Project can help you go!
Contest Rules
This is going to be done in 2 steps. First step is judged solely by me and is meant to narrow down to 10 finalists.
Second round includes many judges scoring from 1-10 and will be announced on Monday, June 26.
First round please write a post and then submit it as a comment in this post.
- At least a 1 paragraph bio
- Describe what you bring to STEEMFEST (not an object list, but what skills and talents you have that will improve it for everyone)
- A budget
Judging
Initial plan is judge solo for the first round. I reserve the right to include others if I'm swamped here.
Judging is first based on who filled the requirements.
2nd Judging is based on who seems most likely to provide high quality representation of the minnow community.
3rd judging includes consideration of a thoughtful budget with favoritism towards those who cost less.
Votes and dollar value of the comment will be considered and weighed as part of the contest, but it won't determine who gets through. If you think you have a good application be sure to campaign for it.
Requirements
You must be a Minnow
You must have 500 or less followers as of Today.
You must have earned less than 5,000 SP from posting as of Today.
You must speak English and write your entry in English, but you can be from anywhere.
You must be a legal adult in your country of origin.
Prizes
- All expense paid trip to STEEMFEST
- 100 SBD
- 50 SBD
Alternate ways to get there
@theprophet0 started a rolling admission contest where he covers plane fare.
@steemfestdreams has a rolling admission contest too where some needs are met.
After STEEMFEST MINNOW I'll be working with them on those.
Any additional funds raised will go towards the Minnow Support Project community account.
Round 2
A second post must be written by the finalists and submitted as a comment to the followup announcement. You must include
- Mission statement
- Set of goals
- Effective plan
Winner will be announced by @minnowsupport
So, make sure you follow that account.

Amazing job here @aggroed , thank you for the opportunity!
Might be a good idea to define what you mean by minnow. I consider anybody with less than 10M VESTS according to steemd a minnow and that makes me a minnow. Others define it differently. Although I'm disqualified by having 500+ followers anyway
you are big fish now in the big league but not the biggest fish in the hood finding Nemo or Dory
oh sorry ... I thought they were just added requirements to being a "minnow"
hey follow me pleaseee i follow you
This is such a great contest! I'm glad us little guys are getting some recognition :)
you guys are genius. and no doubt you are doing a great job and also a huge competition with a big prize. Good luck to all .
Bro thank you for all that you do here man, forreal!

When you say minnow I think the rules should be expanded to consider older steemians who have kept on here even when the price of stem was cents. There are so many of them on here, they have only amassed followers because of how long they hav been here but when you check their accounts they are minnows and I exclude myself as I say this. There is a ton of older steemians who wished they could be in the first steemfest and mayb couldn't cos they were new at time and would wish they could take part in this as they actually minnows and really struggle too but can't take part because their followers count mag have exceed 500. They would so love to have a chance at this conspidering that they were here all along when it was all tougher and that they missed out on Steemfest one. Again I will exclude myself to speak for the others.
If there's a good case I guess I can make an exception.
Hi @aggroed, @abh12345 was able to make an entry, though he has more than 500 followers there was process to find him among others and he does have a good story, he was also here long before steemfest 1 and he is still a minnow.
https://steemit.com/steemfest/@abh12345/steemfest-2017-more-than-just-a-dream
I saw. I'll make a post announcing all the contestants. It's very likely he'll be included.
Really nice aggroed, thank you!
Did the "Hard Fork" help fix any of these issues? I mean, is time being on the platform of more value or the quality of the content posted? Anyway - I followed you for no other reason that you seem like you know STEEMIT inside and out and I've only been on a few days.
@aggroed this is awesome! Thank you so much for all you do! Here is my submission:

Respect!
I love dogs too
Great ☺️
You just got to love animals there are more honest than most of the humans !!!!
Exactly. They are honest by nature. We are (most of us) honest by determination.
Have a great weekend.
thanks for this chance :D
This is my submission
Really appreciate the things which you and your team is doing for minnows. I would have loved to go to the Steemfest, but it seems I have no plans, goals, mission statements etc right now. But best of luck to all those who are participating in this contest. May the most deserving minnows get the all expense paid trip to steemfest!
that's a week from now. Now is just bio, what you bring, and budget.

I recommend your project to worthy authors.
I can help the community translate materials into Russian or Ukrainian.
I know them much better than English))) But Steem helps me to improve my communication skills in English!
