Issue #1

Welcome to the first weekly Curation Delegation reward post. In this post we will be highlighting a few of the Steemian Intro posts which have been nominated over the past seven days. The Steemians who nominated the first three have been rewarded with a 50 SP Delegation for the next three weeks to help them overcome the current Steem Bandwidth issues that new Steemians are experiencing. Without further ado, here are our new Steemians to check out!

The first New Steemian we are highlighting in this issue is @voitakjewelry, who was nominated by @ktfabler. Check out the nomination from KT below to see why we decided to feature Kasia, and then follow the link below to visit Kasia's intro post. >Kasia (@voitakjewelry), is an artist from Poland. She introduced herself to the steemit community today with a gorgeous post featuring her work. She tells how she discovered a jewelry-making technique called 'Soutache,' and decided to give it her own touch by choosing cord of all the rainbow hues. > >She also shared how as a teen she expressed her emotion through her murals which cover the walls of her room. You have to see them, I'd love to have that beauty in my home. > >Now as wife and mother, she sketches portraits of her new and extended family members. You can feel the love she pours into these works. >I look forward to Kasia's future posts as she shares her artistic journey with us. Here's her first post: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@voitakjewelry/beautiful-side-of-my-life

Our Second Featured Steemian this week is @pinkvelvet, who was nominated for this issue by @wotpl0x. Here is a bit of what we can expect from Loise in her own words: >I am a writer. I write poems. I write fiction stories, and sometimes non-fiction. I write stuff about digital marketing, and blogging. And I write anything that brings inspiration, motivation, and good vibes to everyone. > >I am also commited to engage in this community, so I hope I can find a home and a family in this platform. I believe that a sense of belongingness is an essential key in order to succeed in a community-based digital platform. Make sure you check out our new friend @pinkvelvet and give her an upvote at her introduction post: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@pinkvelvet/hello-steemit-i-am-loise-a-filipina-content-writer-and-digital-marketer-get-to-know-me-better

Our third New Steemian is actually a duo. Nominated by @bananamemos. This pair of Canadians are world travelers, having visited over fifty countries in their adventures. They are looking to live the nomad life without having to rely on the typical 9-5 routine. Meet Michael and Sarah, who call themselves Wanderlust Lama. And who doesn't dig a name like that. Briefly, you can expect from their blog: >Our mission is to inspire and motivate others to live a life of adventure and excitement, because nobody wants their days to all blend together. Make sure to check them out at their intro post, and give them a follow for more on their adventures! https://steemit.com/travel/@wanderlustlama/introduction-post-wanderlustlama-world-travellers

Rewarding our Nominators!

All three of the nominators of these posts qualify for a delegation from my account for 3 weeks time of 50SP. Hopefully this will allow them to post, vote, and comment without worry about hitting the Bandwidth issues that have plagued newer Steemians for some time now. Congratulations @ktfabler, @wotpl0x, and @bananamemos for your keen curation skills! Your delegations are on their way out now! Want to get a 50 SP Delegation from the Fresh Five? Check out the Delegation Initiative post [HERE](https://steemit.com/fresh5/@thefreshfive/the-new-fresh-five-delegation-for-curation-initiative-help-find-great-new-steemians-and-be-rewarded-with-sp) and then go find some new Steemians to bring back and nominate for next week's Fresh Curation issue.

Honorable Mentions

We had several good Steemians brought to us by nominators in the past week, unfortunately, I can't delegate to everyone, so winners had to be chosen. But I do want to highlight a few other Steemians who were brought to our attention. Make sure you check out some of these other great new Steemians who joined us this week!

@atgc is an accomplished recording musician, with two albums out. He was also brought to us by @ktfabler, so she is pulling in some great creators. Watch out @aussieninja, you may have competition for your job as Fresh Five curator. Go check out @atgc and listen to some of his music at his intro post here: https://steemit.com/musician/@atgc/hi-my-name-is-tobias-siebert-music-is-my-passion

We're going to finish up tonight's version of the Fresh Five Delegation Issue with a real Donkey Trainer. @peacedonkeys legitimately trains donkeys, among her other traits and initiatives. The fresh five has always had a soft spot for quirky posts and new Steemians with odd passtimes, and Peace Donkeys fits the bill nicely. Check our her intro post here: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@peacedonkeys/hello-from-peacedonkeys
