Culture Vulture
The tag #culturevulture is a place here on Steemit, where you can share something unique about your country with the world. Instead of being a post about travel or tourism this tag is about sharing local experiences.
Inspiration
If your eager to get writing on Steemit and you don't have material this tag might be just the thing to get you going.
Inspiration is all around us. It may be a daily ritual where you live or a local passion that always reminds you of home.
Here I will call out some recent posts from the past week that stand out and really capture the spirit and the vision of this tag. There have been so many already this month, this is just a small selection but for more you can check out the #culturevulture tag. Winners of this months prize will be announced at the end of the month, but I have no doubt these posts are in the shortlist.
Festivals
This is a natural place to post about festivals and celebrations from around the world.
This week @ruchi wrote a very interesting post about an Indian Festival celebrating Ganesh

Customs
Every country, even region has unique customs. Ever noticed the bell towers across Europe. What do they use in Aceh?

Traditions
There have been several great posts about Marriages and weddings. Culture Vulture is a natural place to post about these family celebrations.
One of my lasting experiences from travelling was a wedding I was invited to in India, and another in Syria. In my culture weddings are small family affairs. You would never invite a stranger or people you only knew for a short time.
On Steemit you can now experience an event that you would rarely get invited to when your travelling. This week @Steemwart shared a unique tradition from Aceh.

Food
Food is something that always reminds you of home, and of other countries. There have been so many wonderful entries this month. Here is a selection from the last week.

A Cultural Feast
Tell us a bit about the ritual and fill in the details about why, how, and the cultural background. Don't forget a few pictures to bring it to life. We prefer posts with some original photography. It's ok to use some stock photos (but reference the source) as long as these photos are not the main focus of the post. We are looking to reward original stories for this challenge.
For more details about the rules and examples of what we are interested in check out this months announcement post Culture Vulture Challenge August $30 SBD Prize
July Challenge
