Now, for the more detailed explanation of why this is worthwhile, and why you actually should care.
Power House Creatives (aka "Steemit Bloggers")
One of the top contenders for the prize is an organization near and dear to my heart: Power House Creatives, which is the new incarnation of 
I've been a member of this group for along time, and have found it to definitely be the most supportive and active community group I have come across in our ecosystem... and I have been part of quite a few!
What makes it unique is the dedication of founders 
As much as anything, Power House Creatives is about building successful long-term community members. Which is something we desperately need here, given our small huge "problem" with inactive accounts.

We want people to join and say "I became part of the Steem ecosystem and it was cool!" and NOT the more like current situation of "it was disappointing."
THAT is why you should care.
That, and because you want the price of Steem to rise again. You DO want that, don't you?
