Application for Steemit Engagement Challenge, Season 16

Dear Steemians ,

On behalf of the admins, moderators, and members of the #hindwhale community, we are pleased to submit an application for the Steemit Engagement Challenge- Season 16.

It gives us great pleasure to be involved in the 16th season of the Steemit Engagement Challenge. Our community is still expanding and performing admirably even a year after it was founded. We have successfully hosted and concluded SEC contests three times. As a result, we are confident in our capacity to handle this situation as needed. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our moderators for their skill in ensuring the activities ran successfully.

The purpose of the community.

Our #hindwhale community is established to provide support and knowledge to all new members. Since new members must learn from their predecessors in Steemit, According to this policy, HindWhale gives new members all the direction and assistance they require, and community team members help them along the way.

Since no one is born knowing everything, knowledge is acquired through education and upbringing, the #hindwhale was founded as a GENERAL PURPOSE COMMUNITY to assist, inform, and encourage all Steemit users who want to improve and expand their Steemit accounts. In a similar vein, not every user of Steemit is an expert on the platform.

The following describe our missions and visions:

Mission:

Our mission is to help every new member who joins Steemit. we support them when they join our community and try to guide them with motivation and appropriate help because we already have experienced people to guide newbies when they join.

Vision:

Everyone should choose Steam Blockchain as their first choice for all their social networking needs. Everyone who joins Steemit will live a better life than before, we promise.

Brief history of our community.

Last year, we started our community, #hindwhale, to enable people in India to publish their posts while some Indian communities were shutting down. At the same time, our community grew to become a worldwide community with a sizable number of active members. Encouraging moral behaviour among employees has always been our goal.

Our team was taught in accordance with Steemit policies, which we adhered to. We have been chosen as one of the best communities of 2022 and have received two Tier-1 and three Tier-3 designations for Booming Supports . Despite being a flourishing community for over a year, we have helped numerous Steemit users who share their posts in our community as a result. We have regular posters from all over the world especially users from India, Pakisran, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Srilanka and Venezuela .

Three times in the last year, our community has been chosen to host SEC seasons—SEC6, SEC11, and SEC13—and each time we have successfully completed the engagement challenges. We believe we meet all the requirements to be chosen this time for our community.

• There are more than 100 active posters and 1,835 subscribers in our community.

• Our community has been active for over a year.

• With delegations included, our community account has 26,689.64 SP total and 5,410.937 SP on its own.

• There are no mandatory voting policies in our community, such as beneficiary or delegation.

• All of our moderators and administrators are not going to be shutting down, have more than 67 reputations, and are actively involved right now.

• None of our moderators or administrators use delegations or bid bots to serve votes; all of them have at least #club5050 status.

• The community account is entirely controlled by the two of us administrators.

• Over 75% of the earnings from our community accounts go towards increasing their Steem Power; the remaining portion is utilised to fund contest prizes.

Details of how the community helps members improve the quality of their posts.

Every post in our community is evaluated by our team members to find its flaws and pros. Therefore, we make an effort to review them and, if qualified, provide support. Additionally, we occasionally answer questions that newcomers to our community have regarding Steemit. To do that, we connect with them on Google Meet, Telegram, and Discord and respond to their inquiries. In addition, we have a weekly team meeting where we talk about the quality of the postings and solve community issues.

Apart from this we conduct weekly powerup contest in our community through which our members can learn powerup tutorial and also increase their Steem Power and give benefit to our Steemit platform. So far around 8.5 K Steems have been converted to Steem Power through these contests.

Reasons why our community should be selected for the Challenge.

We are thrilled about the opportunity to become one of the top Steemit communities and grateful for the Steemit team's help with the #hindwhale community.

• Since its founding, our community has prospered and expanded quickly.

• We have 100+ active posters and 1,835 subscribers in our community.

• We have experienced Moderators selected various countries.

• We already have been hoted three time SEC contests.

• Our members are from all over the world.

We put a lot of effort into putting up fantastic concepts and initiatives that will enhance our neighbourhood and the surroundings for all. We stand to gain more from being able to plan this season and accomplish more.
Our moderators have worked with us continuously since we began operating economically on Steemit a year ago, expecting nothing in return but upvotes for their posts. If given the chance, we think it will help our moderators, members, and our community's reputation.

Conclusion.

We have explained all the eligibility requirements and features of our community through this application. So, we hope that this time we will get a chance to host this SEC 16 season. We hereby pledge that our entire team will work together to successfully conduct these contests, reward deserving posts that participate and win, and encourage everyone who participates in these engagement contrasts on Steemit.

We also wish to express our best wishes and appreciation to the STEEMIT team for encouraging Steemit users and communities like ours through the all SEC seasons.
