Pay It Forward Curation Contest - Week 5 - Win SBI & Steem-Bounty

Here a Minnow, there a minnow, everywhere a minnow! We all started as minnows and it takes hard work and a little help from others who curated our works to help us grow. Now it's time to Pay It Forward!


Week 4 is completed and we had massive growth yet again. We had a 50% growth in entries this week! Lets keep this growing and make it one of the biggest contests on Steemit! We are growing this contest purely in an organic way and that requires your help with an upvote, resteem, and any other promotion you can do.

Discord Room for Pay It Forward! & New Judge!

To better communicate with everyone and allow for people to have a place to share ideas and tips we have created a Discord Room. You can join the Pay It Forward Discord Room here.

A huge thanks to @wolfhart for setting this up and allowing us to take over a current room that @wolfhart was running to help new members get started out. Seriously a heart of gold!

@wolfhart also stepped up to become our 3rd judge for the contest which then means a 3rd Judges Choice SBI Sponsorship.
