My entry for @thedarkhorse's pay it forward curation contest :

Since I have been running a bingo contest for @asapers and @newbiegames followers, it was a good chance to learn some new names and find out more about them, and when I saw this contest I thought it was a great chance to give some great Steemian more exposure.

Steemian #1 - @helenoftroy

I came across her profile because of her beautiful entry for my bingo contest that featured an ocean themed bingo card with some very nicely chosen images.

I paid a visit to her blog and found out that she has just started writing a series of posts sharing her experience with other newcomers which I found to be very detailed and helpful. I suggest anyone who is interested in developing a good process for writing blog posts to take a look (and follow for other topics to come):

Steemian #2 - @bafi

I saw him posting about an interesting project on the @steemmakers Discord channel and this is the latest in a series of posts that he has started about a month ago (so it's great that he is keeping it going). I also enjoy posts written in more than one language because it is a chance for me to learn a few words here and there that might just come in handy later down the track.

I won't give too much away except to say that there is Lego involved and it is about architecture as well :)

Steemian #3 - @energyaddict22 & @americantraveler

I have been creating a list of Steemian couples and another list for Steemian sibling, but when I was going through some of the entries for this contest I found a father/daughter pair and I really liked how they have embraced the concept of paying it forward with both their activities on Steemit and outside Steemit.

I would love to seem more families involved in Steemit because as a social media platform it is very supportive of families with @familyprotection, @steemiteducation, @education and @steemstem all producing very good content that are family or education oriented.
