Submissions for Meetups and Philanthropy This Week 
Steemians! We are finalizing our time for Art and Music curation, and tomorrow a different Sndbox-Alpha team will be taking over to begin the next phase for curation in Meetups and Philanthropy. In efforts to assist the incoming group, we are opening this thread to the community for Meetup and Philanthropy based posts on Steemit.
Please read below for the general guidelines of our voting criteria.
Until the 14th of February, we are seeking posts in the art and music categories of Steemit. Any of the sub-categories related to this are okay as well. We will be transition to a team searching for meetups and philanthropy.
Keep it Current!
Posts must be within the last 6.5 days (within 7 day rewards window).
Original Material
There's flexibility with this that the original content has to be reasonably original. If there is content from outside sources such as remixes, collages, using others' photos, etc. That is okay. Just make sure that the other content with this is well enough created to hold up as original material.
Talk About It
For text-driven posts, we're looking for 300+ words.
For art and music posts we're looking at minimum of 2 paragraphs of text describing something about the piece. It could be process, inspiration, story behind piece, struggles making it, step-by-step on how to make it, etc.
Under $3
We will be looking for posts that are under $3 or around that amount for maximum impact. We're seeking artists who create high-quality content to distribute votes to.
Wait 24-48 Hours After Submitting
Wait 24-48 hours to see if you've received an upvote. We will be commenting on all posts that we upvote.
Keep Trying!
We will allow one submission per day per profile.
How do I submit my post?
Make sure to read through the criteria above and adjust if needed!
We suggest you post a link to your post in the comments section below with a few sentences describing what your post is. Keep it simple, doing different formatting in the comments, or upvoting your comment to stand out won't raise your potential to be upvoted.
Example of submission comment:
"LINK TO POST: thisisalinktoyoursteemitpost.com
INFO: This post is about a new meetup group I started in Las Vegas, NV focused on community success and networking."
Note that the upvote strategy we have been using is 100% upvotes at 10 posts per day Monday - Friday. With a new team in place for the Meetups and Philanthropy subject, stay tuned for their strategy.
UPVOTES CONTINUE TOMORROW - SUBMIT FOR CONSIDERATION NOW!
Today’s the day to start submitting! Thanks everyone for participating content on another level for this and we look forward to seeing the different subjects and submissions to come.
