We are setting aside 1500 HIVE to give away to at least a dozen of the best Curated Content Collections (CCC/)
This is an 10 DAY competition so jump on it now. We want to see your creativity to find awesome content or collect your own content and make compelling collection-posts. Start early and keep adding to your collection because your ability to continue curation rather than "one and done" will impact our judging as well, so no need to wait until the collection is perfect.
BEST VIEWED ON PEAKD.COM
Presently https://peakd.com/ is the only interface that has added support for displaying the collections nicely but we expect with how powerful and useful CCCs are that other interfaces will quickly follow suit. Specially after all the cool collections everyone makes
WHAT'S NEW ON COLLECTIONS?
Yesterday we launched the ability for a Community to have a COLLECTION tab. (Enable it in settings.)
Coming soon to Collections we will allow users to make suggestions to the curator for posts they may want to add to the collection.

BRAINSTORMING
Remember it's not just about the posts you include but also:
1. THE NEW USER HELPER PRIZE = 300 hive
We want many people to attempt to create the best collection that will help new users. Make the perfect collection for a new PeakD user.
2. THE LOCATION PRIZE = 150 hive
Given to the best collection about a location
3. THE PERSONAL COLLECTION = 100 hive
The best/most interesting collection that deals with your own posts.
4. THE HIVE RESOURCE = 200 hive
The best collection of resources for some aspect of Hive or hive in general. Meaning a collection not focused on New Users like our other prize.
5. THE UNIQUE USAGE = 200 hive
We want to see the most interesting use case for a collection that isn't listed in the other prizes. Be creative.
6. "THE LONG STORY PRIZE" = 100 hive
Collections that span many posts that can be encapsulated in one collection. Fiction writing or a sequential travel series.
7. Reoccurring Collections = 100 Hive
For projects that plan to publish collections on a time schedule basis on the same theme.
8. HONORARY MENTIONS = 300 hive
We will set aside 200 hive to give to several other "runner up" collections that do interesting things.
9. COLLECTION BRAINSTORM = 50 Hive
We will set aside some Hive to reward several users who have the best suggestions for what kinds of collections to make. A post with a list or simply some comments in this post to get people's creativity going.
HOW TO MAKE A COLLECTION
View a @jarvie video walking users through how to make a collection and how easy it is to add posts to the collections
Collections are a very specific type of post... they have a list of post links and they allow the CURATOR to add some commentary about the posts to allow the reader to understand what to expect.
Adding a post to an already created collection is as simple as clicking this button and then choosing your collection you want to add it to.
