Reminder to the community about the classical music contest that
is sponsoring: First classical music competition in Steemit / a proposal by @titin
Reminder to the community about the singersofsteemit contest that
is sponsoring, and congratulations to week 1 winner,
! More here: Winner for #SingersOfSteemit Contest Week 1!!! (We missed the winning post earlier, so look for it in a future Facebook share and roundup issue).
In order to encourage growth and interpersonal relationships for steemit's classical music content producers, we are thinking about posting periodic open-ended discussion threads from this account. Please comment to let us know if that would be desirable.
As always, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of the content creators who are helping the #classical-music related posting genres to grow on steemit.
2. Roundup issue #10
Since our last roundup post, there have been about 29 new articles posted in the categories that we monitor, and we have shared seven articles from those and other categories on the Steemit's Best Classical Music Facebook page.
Here are the articles we shared. Some are still eligible for payout votes, so you know what to do!
| Author | Title | Payout date | Share of this post's liquid rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Joy of Classics (29) | Aug 1 | 1/6 |
 | Somtow conducting "Scheherazade" | Aug 4 | 1/6 |
 | [CHORAL MUSIC] Estonia, One of the richest choral traditions in the world. Raua Needmine - Veljo Tormi | Aug 5 | 1/6 |

| Stacey Tappan sings the Agnus Dei from Mozart's Coronation Mass in Bangkok | Aug 7 | 1/6 |
| The Joy of Classics (30) | Aug 8 | 1/6 |
As with our previous roundup posts, each of these authors will receive a proportional share of this roundup post's liquid author rewards (Steem and SBD, not SteemPower).
(note: Although we don't curently envision changing this practice, this reward distribution is subject to change without notice, at our sole discretion.)
3. What is this initiative?
To introduce the wider community to steemit.com, we have launched the facebook page, Steemit's Best Classical Music, and we are monitoring a number of classical music related categories (and others) on steemit. We share the best posts that we find about classical music on our facebook page.
The point of this is to raise steemit awareness and visibility among people on facebook who share an interest in classical music. Additionally, to bring additional attention to the best articles and authors that we find, we recently began sharing periodic roundup articles here on steemit.
Sharing guidelines
Standards for sharing are subjective, but here are some guidelines to show the kinds of the things that we look for:
- Original steem blockchain content
- Attractive formatting
- Well written grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc.
- Roughly 500 to 2,000 words in length
- English language text (Sorry, that's the only one we know.)
- Supplementary video embeds from other platforms - such as youtube - are encouraged when accompanied by original steem block chain content.
- Word length expectations will be relaxed for videos of original performances or compositions by the steemit author.
- Sharing of articles by a single author will be limited to one or two per week.
- To avoid spamming our facebook audience, sharing on facebook will generally be limited to one or two posts per day.
