gotta do some giveaways yourself. the lowest level requirement for open giveaways is to fend off at least some of the bots, shouldn't be hard to reach it (for bots either probably). our group-only giveaways don't have a level requirement.

the steamgifts faq has more info, copied the relevant section here:

What are levels, and how can I increase my level?

Levels range from 0-10, with level 0 being the default after registration, and level 10 being the highest level attainable. Levels represent a user's contributions to the community. At their core, they are calculated based on a user's contributor value. When a user creates a giveaway that's received by the winner, their contributor value and level increases. This allows the user to access additional giveaways that are restricted to higher levels. If you mouseover your level in the navigation bar, or the level on your user profile, you'll see a tooltip with the level rounded to 2 decimal places. This will give you a better idea of small increments in level, and when you're about to level up.

Levels increase in difficulty almost exponentially. Below is a summary of levels and their corresponding contributor values.
    Level 0: $0.00
    Level 1: $0.01 - $25
    Level 2: $25 - $50
    Level 3: $50 - $100
    Level 4: $100 - $250
    Level 5: $250 - $500
    Level 6: $500 - $1,000
    Level 7: $1,000 - $2,000
    Level 8: $2,000 - $3,000
    Level 9: $3,000 - $5,000
    Level 10: $5,000+

enjoy!
