It's the beginning of 2019 and what better way to start the year is introduce a new initiative for the Photocircle project. In the past year, we've done a variety of photography contests and collaborations with other curators and it's been a wonderful experience for both the Photocircle team & the collaborators.
Why are we introducing this new form of curation & introduction campaign? In this initiative, we would like to be of help on some really important aspects of this platform: User onboarding, User retention, and Engagement among users.
We might not be the biggest curation community out there but in this gesture to help the "minnow" level accounts, we hope that it will spark a "fire" among our followers & supporters to do the same gesture, thus creating a cycle of continuous support among the users.
How do we intend to execute this initiative?
1) We are looking for minnow level accounts under Reputation 55 & with max 450SP
2) Anyone can provide the "steemit account link" of your selected minnow (user) that you think deserve to be rewarded by Photocircle
3) Tell us why you chose the minnow (user)
4) The person who introduced the minnow (user) must upvote & resteem the latest post of the suggested minnow. This is your chance to support & curate for the minnow that you are suggesting.
As simple as that!
How do we reward both the curator & the minnow?
1) Among all suggested minnows, we will select the top minnow that will earn 1 SBI share + 100% upvote & resteem from Photocircle to the latest post of the minnow
2) To the rest of the suggested minnows, we will select four (4) minnows that will earn 25% upvote from Photocircle + 0.25steem worth of 
upvote to their latest post
3) Now for the curators, the persons who suggested the "winning" minnows, all will earn a 25% upvote from Photocircle + 0.10steem worth of upvote to their latest post
Take note, the miinows to be suggested must be active participating to the Steemit platform with at least two (2) posts that are still active in a current week of this Photocircle Minnow Spotlight.
The Top Minnow from the previous "spotlight" post(s) will be mentioned on the succeeding Minnow Spotlight posts, to gain more exposure.
If in case that the curators (the persons who suggested the minnows) doesn't have any post. The Photocircle account will upvote the comment done by the curator at 25% and we will send the 0.10 steem directly to the curators Steemit wallet.
We hope that this intiative will encourage more Steemians to curate and care for minnow level accounts and hopefully increase the user engagement & retention in Steemit platform.
Before we end this post, we would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the supporters / sponsors for the Daily contest rewards.
