Name Drop Showdown #3!

BY: @flaccidfervor | CREATED: March 11, 2018, 6:22 p.m. | VOTES: 38 | PAYOUT: $12.33 | [ VOTE ]

Nominate an underrated steemian and you both could split the SBD rewards of this post 50/50!
Every valid entry gets a complimentary upvote from yours truly as well.

What constitutes as a valid entry?
You simply have to follow the rules. They're easy. But you gotta start by reading them.

What constitutes as an underrated steemian?
Anyone that posts good content, but has not been getting the attention or rewards they deserve.
Artists, poets, photographers, philosophers, chefs, educators, nice folks who do nice things, you name it. I encourage you to search the #introduceyourself tag, if you're stumped on who to nominate. Let's give them a warm welcome and a little boost to get them going!
[IMAGE: https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1520790823/ehr2vogufx44ujlg8ngp.png]
[This is an image taken from @patschwork's page, a great example of a highly underrated steemian. Please check her out and show her the love she deserves. Since I am not allowed to nominate anybody, she's up for grabs. First come, first serve!]

What's the point of this?
I want us to all support each other, and not just ourselves. I want us to actually enjoy the content we consume on Steemit, and to be able to reward the creators with more than just our one tiny vote.

So here's how it works:

1) Find an underrated steemian(not yourself), copy and paste one of their images, an excerpt from their writing, or just a little blurb about why you think they're great, with a link to their recent blog post or profile.
2) Upvote this post.
3) Resteem this post. (This is optional, but crucial for increasing exposure for the contestants and the reward pool)
4) Follow me. (Also optional, but it'll keep you in the loop for future contests)
5) Check out the other underrated steemians in the comments! Follow them, support them, give them a pat on the back for being awesome! (Optional as well, but that is the whole point of this contest. It's not just about the money)

After 7 days, the winner will be chosen at random. They will receive half of the SBD portion of the payout, and their nominee will receive the other half. Curation rewards still go to the curators. I will be keeping the SP portion, so that my complimentary upvotes will get bigger and bigger.

If you choose not to enter, but wish to support the cause, your upvote is still greatly appreciated.

In case you're just jumping on this train, here's what you've missed:
Artist Showdown
Fundraiser to help our winner @zachnewell bounce back from a tragic accident
Photographer Showdown

Congrats to @zachnewell (get well soon), @zanexavis, and @mada, the winners of my past contests. And good luck to everyone!

It has undergone some deforestation and we as a community can help him replant what has been taken. It is a project I would like to support in anyway I can and I think he deserves a name drop here.

- He´s an awesome husband and father

Agreed. I've been following him for awhile, and I find his writing to be perfectly put together, with so many quotable nuggets. He's got such a worldly point of view. He just gets it.

She's super gung-ho about Steemit, and seems to have found a place in here where she can interact with like-minded people and display her content. What's even more great is her sincere appreciation for others' content. She definitely deserves a look.

I appreciate that she resteems a lot of other artists, as well as the fact that she includes both German and English translations in her text.

I'd really like to nominate my friend @westley-nash. I've been following him, and him me, for a couple months now. He's always been an engaged audience member leaving thoughtful comments, and I love his posts. An interesting combo of spoken word, music and sound affects, he puts forward some deep thoughts and comforting words. I definitely think he needs some more attention for the work he's doing to keep him motivated. Like a lot of new people, myself included, it's always nice to get a nod :)

Though I wouldn't classify him as a photographer, this picture is real good from his latest post. He is an extremely undervalued Steempeep. Perhaps it's because he is still fresh bait? Either way, this worldly gent has been as supportive as one can ask for within #thealliance family and feel he deserves some 'extra credit'.

Oh wow, many many thanks dear @romanie, @patchwork and of course @flaccidfervor for your support and nominating me :)

It´s really hard to decide which Steemian to nominate, because there are so many out there who would deserve to get more attention.

After some time of reflection, here is my nomination: @libaws
She´s not only a great artist but also a lovely and warm-hearted woman who supports other artists by organizing great exhibitions, creating books and networking. She´s pretty new on Steemit so I would love to put her in the spotlight :)
