Delegating Steem Power is a hot topic at the moment on Steemit. Everyone wants to have more power, and those with Power seem happy to share it. From leasing and renting Delegation to winning it, there are many ways you can get your hands on extra delegated steem power to boost your account.
One of the best ways to get it is to win it. And one such contest that offers Delegate Power as a prize is MSP MakeaMinnow Contest. In this contest you can win up to 10k in Power. Awesome.
