Thank you to everyone who took the time to submit an application for the Communities of the Month Support Program.

We received 55 applications in total this time.

From the information in the applications and from our observations over the past month, the communities to be supported have been selected.

For September we are stepping it up a little as there will be seven Communities of the Month, along with an extra two communities who will be receiving @booming support to make 32 in total.

For those communities selected this month we strongly advise you to make the most of the extra votes to build up your voting strength so that you can in future become more self-reliant.

For those not selected keep following the Community Guidelines and keep building your communities to increase your chance of being chosen in future months.

Our final advice to all communities is to have a clear focus and do your best to keep the posts in your community aligned with that focus.

The Communities of the Month for September 2021

For September we are adding one extra community for the support package from @steemcurator01.

Two of the communities from August who have been most active will continue on the program for September...

• Comunidad Latina
  https://steemit.com/trending/hive-188619

• Steem SEA
  https://steemit.com/trending/hive-103393

Joining them as a full Community of the Month will be...

• SteemFoods
  https://steemit.com/trending/hive-148497

SteemFoods has particularly impressed us with the ongoing efforts to gain sponsorship from outside Steem.

For the final four slots as Communities of the Month we have selected two pairs of communities.

These pairs of communities are covering very similar areas and we are really hoping to see cooperation developing between them.

The first pair are Business Activity and Steem Entrepreneurs. They are both doing good work encouraging businesses to join Steem. We hope they can begin to work together to share ideas and resources...

• Business Activity

Support from @steemcurator01 will begin straightaway so make sure you have plenty of good quality, #steemexclusive posts, make sure you are commenting on all posts and make sure you continue to follow all the Community Guidelines.

If we find any of these communities are breaching the guidelines, we may reduce or withdraw the support from @steemcurator01 before the end of the month.

We hope the Community Support Program will continue to help communities build towards self-reliance.

The goal for all communities should always be to build up their voting strength so that they can operate successfully and attract new members without relying on continual support from Steemit accounts.

We look forward to seeing communities move in that direction.

Thank you

The Steemit Team
