What is this contest about?
Yesterday at Steemfest @starkerz held a presentation. His message blew my mind. He pointed out how little support there is for Steemians who are trying to promote Steemit. If you visit the #promo-steem tag the rewards are mostly below $1. Then there was a lightbulb moment for me, basically he said : we shouldn't focus on maximizing our curation rewards with 5% to 10% each year, but we benefit more if the price goes up with 1000% or more. Right now, Steemit is still small with about 25,000 daily active users. For comparison Facebook has 2 billion. If we help the people who are promoting steemit everbody benefits when Steemit goes mainstream.

Rules
I've made a list below of Steemians who are promoting Steemit from all over the world! I will be awarding 10 SBD each week to a person who gives great support to the promoters, which can be done by a combination of upvoting, commenting, posting, re-steems and any other creative ways! You can post your contributions here below, but don't post your comments, upvotes and re-steems, I will see them as I am checking the promoters' pages.
EDIT: In addition, 50% of the liquid rewards from this post will be used to support the promoters either by buying delegation/votes or funding. The other 50% gets divided to all participants in this contest who have at least:
- Commented on 3 different posts of the promoters
- Re-steemed this post
- Comment "I pledge to support the Steemit Promoters!" below
I will check if participants have met the conditions!
The list of Promoters
- @promo-nigeria
- @samiwhyte - This guy is trying to build a community! He wants to do that by eductating newcomers to steemit, to help others eventually. Quoting:
You must spend time training newbies to become effective leaders who will train others in the future.
For them to grow, you must devote your time to mentor them to bridge the gap between assumption and reality.

This is still a test, I plan to keep this contest going for atleast 5 weeks. The first winner is announced next sunday on 12 November.
If this gets enough attention, I will keep giving out sbd everyweek and/or I will buy delegation from @blocktrades to support the promoters. Or I make other changes, we shall see.
If you belong in the list let me know in the comments! Or contact me on steemit.chat @futurethinker
Let's get Steemit mainstream!
