This Week in the Sndbox

---

Welcome to the 11th State of the Sndbox newsletter! So far this week, we’ve published an updated Master Toolkit with our latest event and resource posts. To build upon our most useful resource posts, we’ve also published a compilation of all of our post translations done by the incredible international Steemit community.

For a more thorough breakdown of what our members have been up to, be sure to go through our weekly Upvotes of the Week post that we publish each Monday.

Steem-Powered Emoji Contest

---

This past Friday, we announced another fun contest to transform Steemit celebrities / mainstays into vibrant emojis! Over the past year of being on Steemit, we’ve met and interacted with so many wonderful characters on the platform and we wanted to transplant their charisma into our chats on Twitch, Discord, Slack, etc.

If you’d like to submit your renditions for a possible upvote prize, check out the rubric here.

Effectively Sharing Steemit Content on Social-Media

Sndbox and its members have been experimenting with ways to disseminate Steemit-based information with the rest of the world. We encourage other Steemians to help develop these strategies and you can read on our progress here and follow our Twitter account here.
