I love finding new under-valued Steemians and this contest is a great excuse to find fabulous bloggers whose post aren't getting the attention they deserve. In case you aren't aware, the Pay It Forward Curation Contest is a weekly challenge from @pifc to find bloggers to promote.
If you want to know some of the things I look for when curating for Pay-it-Forward, please check out this article on How to Get Curated.
Here are this week's selections - reputation 55 or under.
Selection #1 - @zlata777 (rep 50)

Exhibition of handmade dolls
Today, I present to you a delightful exhibition of hand-made dolls in Russia. Dolls of all kinds of materials are featured in her photos. Even children dressed almost doll-like, performing various traditional dances.
I think this is a wonderful event and @zlata777 does a splendid job sharing it with us. This blogger isn't particularly active, but I'd love to see more from her. Maybe if we all give her some love, she will give us more to love.
Selection #2 - @alexisdauliac (rep 50)
The Australian Dream: Volunteer for the protection of the Australian coast!
Talk about ecotourism! This French couple have traveled all the way to Australia to help clear an invasive plant from Western Australia. They seem to have a very enjoyable time doing it. It sounds like a great way to travel, don't you think?
This blog is full of all sorts of interesting posts. Right click to access the translate tool if you're using Chrome and your French isn't up to this level. (Mine isn't.) This blogger is definitely worth a follow and some attention.
Bonus Selections - Redfish to Minnowhood nominations
@calluna - Sitting at about 300 SP if she powered up her Steem, this blogger has been around 11 months or so now. She does a lot of writing, especially for contests. She'd be a fun one to take to minnowland.
@elshadr - With 277 SP and an active/varied posting life, I think this Indonesian blogger is another one to push.
These are my selections for this week. Please visit them and give them some love - even if you don't have voting power to spare, a kind word can make all the difference!
Note: All images remain property of the original poster. I've only used their locations.
