This Week in the Sndbox
Welcome to the 15th State of the Sndbox newsletter! So far this week, we’ve gone and returned from STEEMFEST, met incredible Steemians from around the world, and finally had to present our work and projects in person.
For a more thorough breakdown of what our members have been up to, be sure to go through our weekly Sndbox Selections of the Week post that we publish each Monday.
Even though we didn’t release newsletter last week during Steemfest, we had the chance to announce our winners for November’s thumbnail competition. You can see our top picks here with links to all the entries and of course, congratulations again to @shortcut for this month!
STEEMFEST 2
The Sndbox team had the grand opportunity to present in a beautiful villa of Lisbon during Steemfest 2 last week. Steemit Inc. and the Steemfest organizational team really put together a stellar agenda and we’re proud to have nurtured new energy and interest in the @sndbox community and activities. During our presentation we showcased a number of Steem-powered initiatives including our STEEM Park documentary.
You can read the full details here along with the links to the @sndbox and @hansikhouse presentations. (Photo credit to @paolobeneforti!)
