Week 84 - Pay It Forward Curation Contest

Time for a little fun with the Tribe Support we have been doing. A couple of last weeks entries suggested that we feature @reggaesteem which you can curate at the ReggaeSteem Front End or the main tag of this Tribe is #jahm. We just purchased our first JAHM tokens and have staked 20 JAHM. Know it's not a lot, but it's a starting point.

Want to point out that to avoid rewarding Tag Spam it has been suggested below by @crypticat make sure the tag has been used correctly. Please Read This before curating the JAHM tag:

... just make sure any posts you curate that use the #jahm or #reggaesteem tags are related to Caribbean culture or Reggae music for best results.

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 $2 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
• Please 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. 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.
