Welcome to this MAP Trail post highlighting quality authors *and* the curators who discovered them.

<center>https://i.imgur.com/tG1TJdO.png</center>

As I wrote [here](https://steemit.com/curation/@accelerator/introducing-the-curated-curators-map-trail), the MAP Trail will be supporting curators of quality content on Steemit. 

I will continue these compilation posts to highlight curators you may not have noticed before and, at the same time, give an extra upvote to one of the original authors. For completeness, I may also include some established curation groups, although I will try, whenever possible, to support individual curators. These posts will be published approximately every day or two (or three).

The curators listed below have been added to @accelerator's Fanbase on SteemAuto and will receive regular upvotes.

You too can support this initiative by following and upvoting [@accelerator's Curation Trail](https://steemauto.com/dash.php?i=1&trail=accelerator). 

The MAP Trail is supported by income from [MAP Rewarder](https://steemit.com/mapforum/@accelerator/introducing-the-new-map-rewarder-passive-income-for-delegators-doc-1-0) and sponsorship from @eturnerx.

The MAP Trail has given the articles below an *extra* upvote to both the content creator and the curator (from @rycharde), plus resteems of both posts (by @accelerator).

### News

I have 200 SP to delegate for 20 days to a Steemit curator. This will be a weekly event, the first post is here: [MAP Trail Curation Contest - Delegated SP and Free Upvotes - Week 1](https://steemit.com/curation/@accelerator/map-trail-curation-contest-delegated-sp-and-free-upvotes-week-1). The next such post will be published soon, probably tomorrow.

The MAP Curator Trail is currently supporting @mirrors, @bestofph and @kendallron, each with 200 SP delgated for 20 days. This comes from my @rycharde account and the funds from our lead sponsor @eturnerx.
