<h4>It's time for the first round of a number of creative giveaways that I have in store for 2018. I'm keeping it simple and sweet, so we'll see how this goes! As a member of several great communities & projects on Steemit, including  [PAL Network/MSP](minnowsupportproject.org/), [Qurator](https://steemit.com/@qurator), [Steemit Quality Content Initiative](https://steemit.com/trending/steemit-qci), and a proud new member & partner of [Steemit Freelancer's Guild](https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@steemfreelancers/the-steem-freelancer-s-guild-is-here-to-help-get-some-work-done), not to mention [SMART MEDIA POCKETS TEAM](https://steemit.com/pocket/@jackmiller/smt-pockets-phase-2-time-to-get-a-team-happening) I'd like to do something random to help make a few smiles. There is so much happening right now and no better time to connect than now!</h4>

<center><h1>SIMPLE RULES ARE EASY TO FOLLOW</h1></center>

<center><em><h4>PLEASE CHECK YOUR MVEST TO QUALIFY YOURSELF - I WANT THIS FIRST ROUND TO HELP MY PLANKTON (New-to-Steemit) FRIENDS </h4></em></center>

<center><code>https://steemd.com/@grow-pro</code></center>
<center><em>copy this link above, REPLACE @grow-pro WITH YOUR USERNAME</em></center>

Try to know which round you should be 'playing' in because I likely won't take much time to verify - <strong>I am creating these icons manually</strong>, so please be patient and I will get them out as fast as possible! I want to reward my readers and followers, but also want to reach out to new plankton, minnows, dolphins and whales to share some love!

The icon will be yours to use as you wish and you may right-click it to SAVE. Icons will be transparent PNG graphics / like a virtual sticker that you may apply to your own photos or media as you'd like.
