Application for Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 18 - Steem Lens Community

Dear Steemit Team.
On this occasion, we from the Steem Lens Community come again with the aim of making an application for the Steemit Engagement Challenge - Season 18. Maybe everyone knows that it is important to participate in this challenge with the aim of knowing which one is better for the community in this big event, so we will also participate in today's special event. Although this community is only 4 months from its establishment on January 1, 2024, we are very excited to show our strength here to introduce unique photos and photos of the wider macro world, because from seasons 1-18 we have not found a single community that moves and focuses on this, so we really hope to be a new change with an interesting theme to discuss. There's no harm in trying, rather than never.

We will explain a little about the STEEM LENS community, about why this community is considered worthy of being a participant in the Steemit Engagement Challenge - Season 18.

The goal of the Steem Lens community

We are always looking for various communities, but there is no single community on Steemit that specifically addresses photography such as macro, so many of them share in various communities. For this reason, we established the STEEM LENS community with the intent and purpose of bringing together photography lovers and especially macro-type photography in various regions around the world. Not only that, we still have many goals such as:

• Having a community that will be able to share good knowledge and experience about macro photography. This community will unite great steemians around the world who will all share experiences about photography and macro according to their respective abilities.

• As a community that encourages the creativity of steemians who want to learn about photography and photomacro. Steem Lens really hopes to be a place of inspiration and encourage creativity for all Steemit users in the world.

• We understand that we all have our own work, but we need to know that one's work must be properly appreciated, so it is not solely focused on the method or experience, as well as the technicalities of macro photography, but we really hope that the presence of this community really changes the awareness of Steemit users towards one's work.

• The admins and moderators will do their best to make this a global network for macro photography lovers.

A brief history of the Steem Lens community

The STEEM LENS community was founded because of the hopes of various photography lovers, especially those who focus on the macro section who want a special community to share their macro photography works that can add to the knowledge and experience of others. Our hope is that members of the nature photography community who are crazy about the beauty and complexity of the world that often escapes the human eye can gather and share their works here and interact with each other.

So the admin and several moderators after communicating with each other and asking for advice from seniors on disteemit to establish this community at the beginning of the new year. Precisely on January 1, 2024, this community comes with great purpose, and finally gets a welcome from the Steemit team. Our hope is that it will become a good community and bring good changes to fellow steemians.

As for the community account key, for the time being it is still controlled by two admins, namely @walictd and @cymolan. Maybe at any time it will change due to common goals and needs. This is done with the intention of avoiding unwanted things that are not good.

Steem Lens community policy on reviewing and commenting on posts

The Steem Lens community will also do the same, such as welcoming, reviewing, providing direction and verifying every post that enters the community as well as possible.

We also need several tools to do this to help and make it easier to check whether there is a possibility of plagiarism, the use of AI, bots, cheating and other bad things, of course we will take action against all of that as well as possible.

More on how the Steem Lens community helps members improve the quality of their posts

We, the Admins and Moderators, of course, will always be active and always try to review every post that enters the Steem Lens community. not only that, we will also take the time to communicate with users who publish in the community so that they can maximize their posts such as feedback and direction, so that the quality of user posts will be higher.

Behind it all, we also publish guide posts, so that users can easily publish quality and useful posts.

Reasons why the Steem Lens community should be chosen for this Challenge.

In the Steem Lens Community, users will definitely know that this community is devoted to photography and photomacro, so there will be different themes throughout the event. From season 1 to 18, no one has a specific theme about photography let alone macro photography. This is an opportunity for us, as a community full of creative people who will share something interesting and different.

Some users would love to see different themes so that they don't get bored with the same thing. The combination of unique macro photos and interesting writing will make for a very high quality post. What a beautiful world of macro that people rarely see, as we generally only see what we can see directly with our eyes. Maybe with the selection of this community, there will be interesting and creative posts because Steemit users publish good macro photos and quality explanations to the whole world. They will know and recognize the details of macro objects that are rarely found or even never seen in their own country.

The big event held by the Steemit Team with the theme Steemit Engagement Challenge is certainly the center of attention of Steemit users around the world, so our community, which has only been established for a week, certainly really wants to be one of the winning communities here, in order to improve and accelerate growth and development into a very good community.

An example of the challenges the community will put forward for this season if elected:

Challenge	Explanation
Get to know macro photography and try taking your own pictures	Many people will get to know more about macro photos and can immediately share more than 3 photos using a smartphone or other camera.
Get to know the leaves of plants more closely	Everyone often sees the leaves of plants in this world, but still rarely do people pay closer attention to them. They can see the leaf bones and some other fibers that may be unique to the leaves.
A closer look at her favorite flower	Almost all houses take care of flowers for the beauty of their yard, but they usually take ordinary photos and it is still very rare to take close-up photos. We can see the stamens, pistils and petals more closely.

In closing, we would like to thank you
