The Daily Sneak 5 November 2018 - with guest curator @anouk.nox

in #curation5 years ago

Welcome to The Daily Sneak!!!

We reward quality content, AND content curators! Come for the crypto, stay for the community!

You can earn up to 5 SBD per accepted submission for guest curating The Daily Sneak. Submission requirements are published at the bottom of each edition of The Daily Sneak.

Today's guest curator is @anouk.nox.

Although Anouk finds herself a writer at first, curating has become a big part of her Steem activities. She also loves making artwork and enjoys listening to music a lot. Being active in several communities means she comes across a lot of different posts, and she tries to get many undervalued authors rewarded by giving them extra exposure.


The Sneaked Selections




Ferocious | Self Portrait



I always love the posts @hiddenblade publishes, she is a multi-talent if you ask me! Not only does she make the coolest self-portraits, but she also writes poems in many of her posts - she delivers a complete package. So if you didn't follow her yet, please have a look at her other posts to see how talented she is! This self-portrait is from 2013, but I really love it, she is so self confident! Thank you @hiddenblade for always sharing quality posts here!





Pointillism drawing of an old picture of my dad



Not only will you see a very talented artist's work in this article, but also a very very happy dad that received a wonderful gift for his 60th birthday. First of all, @taifavre is so super talented, it's crazy! I can't imagine the amount of time she had to be working on this great artwork before it was finished. Super nice to also see the picture of her father with the artwork in his hands. This gives an extra personal touch to this post. I love it, thank you so much for sharing this, @taifavre, and keep sharing your amazing art please...





Whoops! (Ulog #31)



Whenever I see an article about parental fails it has my attention.. I have lots of those stories to tell, and call me bad but I do enjoy reading these things happening to others. Not because I hope they mess up, but because it's so recognizable to all the parents in the world. I won't spoil the fun here, you have to read the article to find out what @bengy did (or should I say didn't do?) Your girl will survive, I just hope your wife was a bit gentle, as it also makes a nice story for when she's a grown up! Thank you for sharing!





Lago di Calaita today.



I enjoyed looking at these pictures of Lago di Calaita (Italy) so much.. the pictures are stunning, but also I love seeing those children playing. I've never been to Italy in my life, and this certainly makes it appealing to visit it at least once. Thank you @frejafri for sharing this with us!





Hole In The Sky - Drakensberg, South Africa



Wow this just seems unreal...you could have fooled me if you'd say that this is not a real picture. Never understood that a star-trail can be captured like that. It sure does take a lot of patience I guess to actually get this result.. but wow, it is worth the wait! Great job and thank you @garethb for sharing this.





Conclusion

For today, we have some really incredible commentary and selections from @anouk.nox. I hope that you enjoyed it as much as I did! Please stop by each post and share your responses with their authors. For submitting these excellent articles and commentary, @anouk.nox earns 5 SBD.

Each of these highlighted articles receives full upvotes and resteems from @thedailysneak. In addition, @thedailysneak sponsors featured writers for Steem Basic Income!

Submission Requirements

On to the submission requirements for The Daily Sneak:

  1. You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
  2. All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
  3. You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will not be accepted. We also check for plagiarism and only highlight original content.
  4. Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
  5. We try to spread the love around, so while selections from authors that have been highlighted before are welcome, they might not be included if the author's last inclusion was recent. Similarly, if you include two articles from the same author in one submission, we will typically highlight only one of the two.
  6. Be sure to include your personal bio for me to introduce you to readers, and make sure that each selection has commentary. This can be just a few sentences about why you think the selection is worth our attention, or what is great about it - something that will make people want to click through the headline and check out the actual article. English is preferred, but other languages will be considered as long as English translation is included.
  7. Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
  8. Including image links to the source article is not required (and we prefer to leave some mystery if photography is highlighted and the article has only one photo.) However, we like to include images in The Daily Sneak, and not including any image links may decrease the likelihood of your submissions being published.

If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen for several different reasons. If you are unsure why an article was cut, please review the submission guidelines again. If you are still unsure, feel free to ask politely why it was cut.

Submission Reward

A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 1 SBD for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 5 SBD for each accepted submission!

Right now @thedailysneak's upvote is not worth as much as we are paying for guest curation. Why do we pay so much for guest curation? We believe that quality curation is very important to Steem. Paying our curators well encourages them to spend more time reviewing content and picking out the best pieces!
