Hello everyone and welcome to STEMng blog, a Nigerian sub-community of stemsocial dedicated to the promotion and curation of STEM contents on the hive blockchain. This will be our first post on the hive blockchain since its birth. Like they always say, it is better late than never.
There is no doubt that the enthusiasm to participate in blockchain activities form users waned a while back before the fork of the hive chain. With this new chain, the immediate focus of the Nigerian STEM community is to bring back some of the old authors that have contributed immensely to the stemsocial community in the past and to resume the STEMng digest, a weekly collection of top posts from Nigerian authors.
The Contest
Are you an old author that has been looking for a way to make a comeback into the community but lacks the necessary drive? Sometimes, all we need is just a little push and we will accelerate at the maximum speed.
In lieu of this, STEMng will be giving out 60 hives to 3 lucky authors to be shared 20 each. 20 hive will be shared among other participants as deemed fit by the organizer.
Rules of the contest
In order to qualify for the giveaway, the following rules must be observed:
- Authors must be Nigerians.
- Authors must be known members of stemsocial community. That is, they must have been making posts that meet the stemsocial guidelines for curation.
- Author must have not made any stem post since the birth of the hive blockchain.
- Authors are to make stem posts of their chosen topics with a minimum of 500 words. The posts must meet the stemsocial guidelines for curation.
- Use the stemsocial app to make your posts preferably, however, this is not compulsory. You can contact the stemsocial discord server if you have issues with the app.
- The title of your posts should have 'STEMng Contest' with any other title of your choosing.
- Use the tag 'stemng' as one of the tags. This is quite necessary important.
- All the posts that meet stemsocial curation guideline will be supported by the community curation account. The authors of the top 3 posts will be rewarded with 20 hive each in addition. The top 3 will be determined by the mods and curators of the stemsocial community.
This contest will run for 14 days starting with the day of publishing this post.
A call for support
The stemsocial community has been around for a while and has been curating posts and supporting authors for more than 3 years on the old chain and now on the hive blockchain. We started developing our user interface a while back. We recently wrote a proposal to get funding for development works of the UI and your support will be needed to make it become a reality.
