Dear Steemians,

Finally, it is another great closing for our session 2’s submission. Again, we would like to thank all the contributors who committed their time and energy to create with amazing photography shots and stories about different places that they had been before. We appreciate each and every submission to our utmost gratitude. Never had we thought we can get all these amazing people to share their stories with us on #archisteem!

With this post, we would like to announce that our first ever project under @archisteem – 1001 Places to Remember Season 2 is officially closed and we will start to judging process immediately. At the same time, the third session for this project will officially start now and will last for 2 weeks until 10th June 2018, 12 pm EST (need to hit minimum 20 submissions to close as well). To all the Steemians out there, let’s keep this going and build this project together.

We would like to do some reminders for the future contributors:

1. Tag to use: #archisteem and #placestoremember (there are submissions which use one of the tags and misspelled #placestoremember)
2. To write at least 300 words of the story (we need more insight to make the content valuable collectively)
3. Photos are not limited anymore.
4. Must have a title that describes the story (no need to mention the contest name as you will be using the tag).

In every closing session for the season, we will start a voting session for the qualified posts. In the meantime, we will list all the qualified posts in the comments for the voting. Note that the voting will be based on the number of votes rather, but we do welcome high-value votes :)

All the contributed upvotes (SBD) will be used for the consecutive sessions reward while the SP gained will be used to power up @archisteem to increase its voting value to support the community better.

A collaboration with

Photocircle by @funtraveller

#photocircle is a curation program started by @funtraveller (also happened to be the co-creator of #archisteem) to curate photography submissions with the #photocircle tag. One of the themes for the photography curation program is Architectural & City Photography which is aligned with the 1001 Places to Remember project as well as #archisteem.

We decided to collaborate under the theme Architectural & City and share the prize pool as well. This is a mutual relationship that will help both programs to thrive and to reach a larger group of audience.

A City A Story by @aaronli

This contest is a weekly contest initiated by @aaronli. The intention of starting this contest is to encourage more people to share about culture and stories of their hometown or their cities. This could help to promote the place’s uniqueness to a larger audience and in another way, to express our personal love to our beloved hometown and cities.

We found that both of our projects are well aligned and decided to collaborate and to make things bigger with more exposure! Participants will now get a chance to win both prizes at the same time, making the prize pool larger than before!
