<center>***Operation Curation Delegation Content Nominations from @ma1neevent***
<br>
<br>
<h1>Newer Users on Steemit are often referred to as Minnows... <br>
But for me... the ones creating great content,
<br>
 I am calling my <i>SHINERS!</i> </h1></center></h1>

<center>*Shiners are a type of small bait fish we use for Ice Fishing where I live in the winter time. 
They are quite small... but bright and shiny, and attract much bigger fish...*</center>

I have been doing these weekly compilations now the past two weeks. Recently, someone pointed out to me that there are Steemit users under the minnows called Shiners, I had no idea about this... but I am not referring to those users per se. I am talking about those newer Steemit users who are *SHINING* creating some cool new content!

I nominate my "Shiners" for possible extra Steemit exposure through the @ocd curator team, Operation Curation Delegation. These nominated users will hopefully make a lasting positive impact on Steemit with their great content!

<br>
**@ocd** is a hard working team of about 18 curators under @acidyo, who are going out and searching Steemit every day for original content posts created by relatively new Steemit users. There is a primary focus on posts that may not have had many views. Each curator nominates one post per day, and a top 5 is selected for a daily compilation.
<br><center>
You can see the most recent OCD Daily Comps below, which I actually had the pleasure of writing this week:  
<br>
[OCD Daily - Issue #20](https://steemit.com/ocd/@ocd/ocd-daily-issue-20)
<br>
[OCD Daily - Issue #21](https://steemit.com/ocd/@ocd/ocd-daily-issue-21)
<br></center>
As I have stated in previous issues of my Shiners of the Week, The objective of my own curation goals in the OCD group is to spotlight different users on Steemit who are putting in good effort to write ORIGINAL, entertaining, and creative content.
