1. Best Author : @pennsif
- Nominee : @pennsif
If you're a Steemit newbie, or want to know what's happening on Steemit, you must follow @pennsif. He is the best writer to publish a digest of news from the main authors, witnesses and communities active on Steemit, regardless of country or language.
His content begins with reading other people's posts, and his main topic is everything that happens on Steemit. It even includes content written in languages other than English, so you can keep up with important news.
I believe that the core value of social media is communication, and he is one of the best authors to maximize this value.
2. Best Contributor to the Community : @upvu
- Nominee : @upvu
- Founders : @happyberrysboy, @realmankwon
I can say for sure that as developers they have been more dedicated to Steem than anyone else. They helped several people quickly set up a Steem node and contributed to protecting the mainnet when Hive witnesses tried to shut down the Steem network. And currently, we have been stably operating the UPVU service, the largest SP aggregator in Steem for 3 years, and operating/managing the Steem Keychain chrome extension wallet for free.
Recently, a quantified voting policy of UPVU has provided an opportunity for new witness teams committed to the Steem ecosystem to become main witnesses, paving the way for many development teams to participate as witnesses.
@upvu announced an expansion into the TRON ecosystem, and I expect they will play a key role in connecting the Steem community with the TRON community.
3. Best Community : The Bengali Community
- Nominee : The Bengali Community
- Founders : @rme, @blacks
- Admins : @rex-sumon, @winkles, @swagata21, @nusuranur, @hafizullah, @moh.arif
The community that has grown the most over the past year on Steemit, and has had the most active community members, is by far the Bengali community.
The Bengali community is undoubtedly the best example of how a real community can nest on social media by taking full advantage of Steemit's unique characteristics.
There is no doubt that they are the best community, having strict rules inside the community and openly communicating with other communities outside.
