Steemit Update [March 25th, 2025] : The Steemit Challenge - Applications Invited for Season 24
The Steemit Challenge, in its various forms, has now been running for 23 seasons.
In Season 23 we experimented with the Learning Clubs as a possible way to combat the ever growing use of AI. Unfortunately these had very limited success.
The numbers of participants in the Teaching Teams were also quite low.
We think therefore that it is time to try something different.
So we are throwing it over to the community.
We want your ideas…
The Steemit Challenge Goes Freestyle
We are looking for new ways to make use of the Challenge format.
That format includes two weekly posts - one setting out the week’s challenge, the other announcing the four best posts for each challenge.
Each of these posts receive a SC01 vote of 50 - 60%, and the four winning posts each week also receive votes from SC01.
Alongside these votes, a significant number of the entry posts each week also receive useful votes from SC02.
Each Challenge season runs for 6 weeks.
We want to find some novel ways to make use of the Challenge format.
It could be used to run a 6 week championship challenge for a new game on Steem.
An extended multi-level quiz might fit the format.
Or maybe a new app could run a 6 part tutorial with weekly tasks.
A collaborative script writing project might be another option.
We want to tap into the creativity of the community.
We want your new ideas.
Make Your Pitch for Season 24
If you think you have a suitable idea, tell us about it.
Outline your idea in a post, and show how it would fit in the Challenge format.
You can make a solo application, or you can form a team of up to five people.
Your post should include a draft schedule of what you would do for each of the 6 weeks.
It should include details of how people can interact and get engaged with the project.
It should also provide information about how you would select the 4 best posts each week.
The post should also contain the usual brief details about each team participant.
There are no restrictions on Steem Power, Reputation, nationality, language or community affiliations. The only restriction is that no team member should be powering down.
Posts should also contain the contact details (Telegram/Discord) of all team members.
Posts should be submitted by 11:59 pm UTC, on Friday, April 4th, 2025.
Application posts should include the tag #challengepitch in the first four tags.
The Steemit Challenge has come a long way over its 23 seasons.
Now it needs some new energy.
For that we are looking to the community.
Now is your chance to demonstrate creativity and innovation.
We want new ideas for the Steemit Challenge.
Please surprise us !
Thank you
The Steemit Team
