One of the most important parts of the Steemit platform is engagement.

We want people to post more and we want people to comment more.

To help promote both of these we are launching the Steemit Engagement Challenge.

This will be a month long challenge where people who post the most, and comment the most, will be rewarded.

Of course the posts should also be of good quality, and the comments should be meaningful and relevant.

For the first round in May we are looking for six Communities who would like to take part and help develop and refine the Challenge.

How Communities can Apply

Each Challenge will last one month. For the first Engagement Challenge in May we are looking for six Communities to take part.

The Communities should be well established, with a good, active team of Admins and Mods, and an actively growing community curation account.

We are looking for Communities who already check and comment on every post in their community. Particularly those that check for plagiarism, bot-use, steem-exclusivity, club status etc.

All the Admins and Mods should be following at least #club5050.

The Communities can be country communities, subject specific communities or general communities.

The selected communities will receive increased voting from @steemcurator01 and @steemcurator02, and weekly and monthly Challenge winners will receive extra prize votes from @steemcurator01.

Communities chosen for the Challenge will be expected to run regular, at least weekly, contests through their community account, and also be willing to check and comment on every post in their community.
To apply to join the Challenge, the Community Founder, Admin or Lead Moderator should make an application post including…

• the purpose of their community
• a brief history of their community
• a list of all Founders, Administrators and Moderators including their #club status
• details of their community curation account, how it is being built up and who holds the keys
• details of the community’s current policy for checking and commenting on posts
• details of how the community helps members improve the quality of their posts
• reasons why their community should be selected for the Challenge.

The post should also contain the contact details (Telegram/Discord) of at least two lead people in the community team.

Posts should be submitted by 11.59pm UTC, on Sunday, April 17th, 2022.

The application posts should include the tag #engagementapplication in the first four tags.

We are looking forward to reading all your applications.

This is an exciting new Challenge to help build engagement on the platform.

We hope as many people as possible will take part.

Thank you
