Get Ready to feast on some Culture
It's the new year and people already planning their holidays (In the Northern Hemisphere at least).
What type of Traveller are you?
Will you be laying on a beach for two weeks in June or are you more inspired by experiencing local heritage. Do you travel off the beaten track to immerse yourself in a new culture....
If you have looking for something to write for Steemit, this challenge is just what you need to get going. As a bonus this month the prize fund is a guaranteed 115 USD.
- Are you interested in travel, culture and history?
- Are you looking for inspiration?
- Do you want to get writing on Steemit and build up your followers?
Culture Vulture
The tag #culturevulture is a place where you can share something unique about your country with the world. Instead of being a tag about travel or tourism this tag is more about sharing local experiences. Let's get inside the hearts and souls of the Steemit Community.
This challenge has been running since July 2017. We have had participants from the 4 corners of the world, with 40k votes, 9k comments and nearly 7.5k paid out in post rewards, this challenge has certainly gotten noticed and we are looking forward to a record breaking December. It's Christmas time after all!
For more info about entering this challenge and the rules you can read about it in one of the following posts
