I want to congratulate all of these Scorum members who have been nominated and I hope that all of my readers and followers will visit their profile page and check out their blogs. I would also like to thank all of those who took the time to look for a good entry to nominate, you all did a wonderful job!

I was able to upvote everyone who made a nomination 10% and everyone who voted 5% and this seemed to work out pretty well, my VP was down close to 60% by the time I made it all the way through the comments, but this week I will start voting earlier and spread the voting out over the entire week.

It is time to start Week 2 of the 50-50-25 Contest!

The payout for last weeks contest blog was a little over $112, so 50% of that is $56 plus we received a 10 SCR donation for this week lifting the total prize up to 66 SCR. That means that this week's winner will receive 33 SCR and the person who nominates them will also receive 33 SCR! That is a 32% increase over last week and I hope that trend continues.

To enter the contest leave a comment on this blog with a link to a Scorum Account Profile holding less than 50 SP/SCR total that you would like to nominate as Scorum's most undervalued blogger. You may make multiple nominations of unique accounts, but any duplicate nominations of the same account will be disqualified.
If either the person making the nomination or the nominee has been cited for plagiarism within their last 5 blogs or is found to have plagiarism in a current blog that is waiting for payout the entry will be disqualified. If the nominator was guilty but the blogger was not, then that blogger would become eligible for renomination by another member.
No self-nominations will be accepted
The person making the nomination will be considered the first vote, others who desire to vote for the nominee can do so by commenting under the nominating comment with a "+1". Scorum members may vote on multiple nominees, so if someone else that you want to support is added after you have already voted once you will also be able to cast a vote for that new candidate.
I will be the sole judge of what constitutes a qualifying nomination, but support in detecting plagiarism or other potentially disqualifying violations will be much appreciated.
The winning entry will be determined by the nominee who receives the greatest number of +1 votes in the comments. Regular monetary upvotes to either the blog or the comments will have no bearing on the outcome of the contest, but they will be much appreciated by this blogger and those leaving comments and nominations.
The winning nominee will receive 33 SCR and the person who nominated them will also receive a 33 SCR finders fee. Hopefully, recognition from this contest will also lead to greater visibility and higher future rewards for both of these award winners.
50% of the payout from this and all future contest blogs will go toward the next contest. Since 25% of the reward from the blog will go to those who have upvoted it that will leave 25% of the reward as my commission for hosting the contest.
I will attempt to leave a 10% upvote on any comment with a valid entry and a 5% upvote for anyone who votes for a candidate. This amount may be adjusted for future contests after I see how well my voting power holds up. The actual monetary payout for these upvotes will vary with my VP at the time, but hopefully, everyone will receive something for their participation in the contest.
This contest will end when the payout process begins on Thursday evening.
My vote will be the final and deciding vote for any ties.
If any member would like to add to the sponsorship of this contest they may send their donation to me in even-numbered whole SCR amounts with a memo stating what the funds are to be used for. Donors of 10 SCR or greater may place an Ad, comment or invitation consisting of a photo or graphic and a short comment of no more than 150 words at the footer of the next contest blog. I reserve the right to reject any such comment, photo or graphic and return the donation for any reason stated or otherwise at my own discretion. Regardless of whether a comment is added, any donors of any amount will be listed by Scorum account name in future contest blogs unless otherwise directed by the donor. Send Ads, comments, and photos to be added to; scorum_pete@aol.com
Comments and recommendations on how to improve the contest are appreciated and will be taken into consideration.
Feel free to use other social media and blogs to drum up support for your entry.

As the garden grows so does the gardener

The purpose of this contest is to recognize and promote Scorum members who have been struggling to receive a proper reward for their labors and to also promote our newest members who have written quality blogs but have not yet been noticed by the community at large.

When we add fertilizer and water to the plants in a garden they will grow up healthy and bear fruit for our table. Likewise, when we support our new and growing members we are investing in our own future and we will surely reap the rewards for these efforts for years to come.

New!

Having trouble thinking of something to write about? Make sure you check out my Happy Moanday contest for your chance to win 10 SCR and get instant recognition for your blog.

A Big Thank You!

I would Like to issue a special thank you to @kryptokeeper who not only made two nominations for last weeks contest but also donated 10 SCR toward this weeks contest. With giving Scorum members like kryptokeeper around here I don't know how Scorum can fail. Please follow @kryptokeeper and say thank you for his support by upvoting and commenting on his latest blogs.

Good luck to all those who receive nominations this week, make sure that you get all of your family and friends to sign up for an account so that they can come over here and vote for you!
