Big thanks to everyone that participated in another great week of the #swmchallenge, once again we are breaking records and this week I'm happy to announce we had more than 70 entries for the first time. What to say, except that you are amzing!
Thanks for being here and contributing your work to the map and the challenge. Each week we get new users joining in and I must say that the quality of the content every single one of you put out is admirable and I really appreciate the efforts that go into your posts.
Keep up the good work peeps!
What we achieved by now
| Last week | This week | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 65 | 75 | 385 |
We are getting close to our first milestone of 500 high quality posts, filled with a ton of valuable information, extensive research, experiences and pictures to the SteemitWorldMap.
For those who still don't know SteemitWorldMap
Is a great tool made by @blueorgy and @martibis that allows you to pin your posts to a specific location or browse the world map where ideally every place on the map is a Steemit post. This contest is all about making it more popular, encouraging more people to contribute their posts to the map.
Together we can make this happen!
Now take a minute to appreciate this week's winners, visit their blogs, engage with them and upvote if you like

Why Did We Have To Visit The Lisbon Oceanarium Right After Christmas?

I'm just in love with the format and flow of your posts, with all the gifs and images your posts are such an eye-pleaser. Simple yet full of information and so visual. Very well put together and the efforts you put into your posts are definitely visible.

In my small vocabulary of English words there aren't many that could describe quite how amazing your blogs are :) With pictures looking like something you would see in a National Geographic magazine and such extensive write-up your blogs are a wonderful addition to the map. Really glad to have amazing bloggers like you in the challenge. Keep up the good work, it's highly appreciated!
