STEMng is now on Hive: Participate in 80 hive contest.

in StemSocial4 years ago

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.

Read this post by @lemouth for more information about the latest development.

Let's see what you've got

This is a very good initiative. I love it. It's a nice way to bringing back the old @STEMng authors. The likes of Raphael, Greenrun, Oluwoleolaide, Sogless, Funmi Akinpelu, Mr. Breeziewrites, conas, ugonna, steepup, Josh, Aishah, Bouqui, Bookons, Oluwabori, Samminator etc. I've really missed them all.

But, shouldn't also be a way to compensate the active and old authors as well? Those that have been contributing to the community and keeping the fort all this while.

Perhaps another time but the focus for now is to get people that have been inactive writing.

I can't wait to see the beautiful Nigerian authors back on Hive. This is a very good initiative, @gentleshaid. Keep up the management. It's been a while we last have the stemng digest. It'd be great to bring it back as well.

I would love to see more Nigerian authors writing again as before aside myself, @gentleshaid, @cyprianj, @loveforlove, @uyobong, @emperorhassy and some very few Nigerian authors.

Organize a contest for we that are also old and active timers ooooo. So that we can keep being active. Lol.

Thanks for the mention, empress.

Don't worry, contests will come. This is just the beginning.

It's a very good initiative. Bringing back the old authors, encouraging the new ones, re-opening the Friday night hang out on discord and resurrecting the STEMng digest are all fantastic ideas if they can be achieved. I hope they can be. It would be so nice seeing the posts of the old authors as well. Kudos to the @STEMsocial and @STEMng management.
