Writing Challenge by @celfmagazine [Winner Announcement!]
CELF Community + Curation
@celfmagazine is a bilingual (Español + English) curation project powered by Steem. CELF aims to build a decentralized community model of growth with a focus on culture, literature, art and engagement.
The CELF curation guild recently joined @sndbox's Summer Camp initiative, with the aim of supporting and furthering curation communities here on the Steem blockchain. As one of the very first steps together this Summer, we have decided to collaboratively host a creative writing contest for all writers and poets on Steemit.
The CELF Challenge Winners:

Nature - a theme about the natural world around us

About the Sndbox Summer Camp
The summer camp is a program accelerator created by @anomadsoul and @guyfawkes4-20. The camp incentivizes Steemians to brainstorm new ideas and to work in teams to kickstart new Steem-Powered projects. With the Camp, our aim is create something different than a typical curation initiative. Here, our hope is to cultivate communities and help network creatives with all kinds of skillsets. This month, @sndbox has been working with three projects, @cefmagazine, @projectgiving and @steem-times.
Thank you @SNDBOX! It is an honor to have your support. Thanks also to all who participated in the contest and congratulations to all the winners.
