This Week in the Sndbox


Welcome to the 6th State of the Sndbox newsletter! Over the last several days, we’ve launched a few exciting initiatives to collaborate with Steemians to develop educational and creative content in diverse ways. You can see the most recent Upvotes of the Week here and major summaries of our latest developments below -

Building Sndcastles Worldwide


Last Thursday we launched our major international initiative to cultivate strong Steemit communities around the world. We understood the need for resources and programs, particularly in smaller foreign-language communities for the sake of trust and network building. Our solution is support Sndcastle Projects - Steemit accelerators that we would support through upvotes, publicity, programming material, and free access to use and traslate our @sndbox content.

Our first Sndcastle communities are @tach in Turkey, led by @monomyth, and @stach in Nigeria, led my @ejemai. Learn all about the details and roadmap here.

Launching the Monthly Thumbnail Contest


After our initial month of beta-testing in August, we decided to try out a monthly competition to cultivate more of Steemit’s creativity. We never expected such incredible submissions by so many new and veteran Steemians. You can read our announcement and details and we’ll definitely be conducting these types of competitions every month.

You can view all the submission and winning entries here.

Each week we’ll introduce the newest @sndbox members and share updates on their work. Be sure to give each of these new Steemians a warm welcome! Follow their profiles for more on their respective interests and practices.

What to Look Out For This Week


Tomorrow, we’ll start a series of posts that analyze the real implications of blockchain technology in the creative world. As always, Sndbox is committed to empowering the way creatives make an impact in the world and these posts will help develop those strategies.

On Friday we’ll do another Toolkit post focusing on how payouts work on Steemit. The post will cover payout options, payout schedules and curation rewards.

Hi @sndbox

I was reading through this post and looking to see how I could become a member.

I'm working on a project to head to steemfest and then onto Nepal, which you can read in this post if you have a few minutes.

Thanks for your time.
