We hope you are all enjoying the new format for the Community Curator teams again this month.

For September we are continuing with the small teams.

For this coming month, there will be a continued move towards a more ‘freestyle’ approach to Community Curation.

The Community Curators for September

For September we are inviting people interested in becoming Community Curators to apply in teams of two or three.

As an experiment for September there will be no minimum SP requirements for individuals or teams.

The members of each team should all be of different nationalities and live in different regions of the world.

They should also not be Admins or Moderators in the same communities.

---

For September, all seven teams will be free to vote on any types of post as long as they are not plagiarized or created by AI.

One of the teams will be the lucky holders of the bigger @steemcurator03 account (1 million SP). The other teams will each have around 700K SP.

---

We want teams to very much look beyond communities. There are many good posts that are outside of any communities - just directly on people’s personal blogs.

Teams should seek out these often neglected authors.

---

The Curation Teams in September should allocate a portion of their voting power for voting on the best comments.

High quality relevant comments add extra richness to the Steem blogging ecosystem.

Good comments can be as interesting and as valuable as good posts.

We want good comments to be encouraged and rewarded.

How to Apply as a Community Curator Team

One member of the team should make a post including…

• Details of each team member, including their history on Steem and any positions of responsibility they have held on the platform

• The nationality, languages and country of residence of each team member

• The key stats of each team member (own SP, CSI, Reputation, Delegations).

Please note that each person can only be included in one application.

---

Keep posts brief and easy to follow. Include the tag #curatorapplication in the first four tags.

Applications can be made in any language.

Posts should be submitted by 11.59pm UTC, on Saturday, August 24th, 2024.

How Community Curators will be rewarded

Every day all teams will be allowed to allocate one full vote to a member’s post - ideally in rotation.

In total no more than 10% of the account’s voting power should be used on team members each week.

Additionally each week one member should post a report for the team in the Steem POD community with a list of their top 7 posts, with a brief note of why each post was chosen.

These posts should set beneficiaries to share the rewards with other members of the team.

The posts will be voted by @steemcurator01.

Thank you to this month’s Community Curators. You are all welcome to apply again for September.

The new Curation Teams will be announced by the end of the month, with a view to starting at the beginning of September.

As this new team application process will be quite experimental we reserve the right to hand pick teams if not enough suitable teams apply.

Finally we would like to remind everyone that they should not contact the Community Curators asking for votes, or to be selected as a Post of the Week. Anyone found doing this may be barred from receiving any @steemcurator0x or @booming votes.

The Steemit Team
