in WORLD OF XPILAR2 years ago (edited)

Hello dear Steemians,

 

Today I wanted to submit the Application from "World of Xpilar" Community. I will be brief I do not like many words, it should be straight and clear

 

The purpose of their community

 

The community was created right after disintegration Steemit and Hive, the time when many users felt left on their own, that was the time when after short discussion @xpilar created WOX for everyone. We welcomed any user and any topic, not only Visual Art, like many thinks. We would say, just be yourself, communicate with others and you will find the users who have the same interests and hobbies.

 

History of their community and @worldofxpilar Community Account

 

The Community was created around Feb-March 2020 by @xpilar, who holds Active key

Posting keys of account has @xpilar, @stef1, @myskye.

Very quickly after foundation we decided to get more people involved, that was the reason why we have such multi-cultural team from different countries but also speaking different languages and having different area of interests.

Behind the community was a strong core team of investors from Norway with @xpilar as a leader, that was the reason why we had good retain of users.

In order to support our users @xpilar created a community account @worldofxpilar, although it has not much Steem Power but it is triggerring a Trial that has 300+ users, with strong accounts like: @xpilar, @reflektor, @hingsten, @bippe, @xpilarwitness

After the confirmation of original users, they are added to WOX whitelist or if proven fraud then they receive appropriate label

How the community helps members improve the quality of their posts? We write comments and guide and advice hte users, if there is a new user then @bambuka invites them to the newcomer program, where he on daily basis communicating and helping to become better and not to feel alone. Those users also receive regular small Upvote from Community account.

 

Reasons why their community should be selected for the Challenge.

 

  • It is noticable that last few challenges had the same topic "Diary Game"

To tell the truth it is boring, because the Diary Game is running anyway and already supported. Therefore, it is loss of resources.

  • We need diversity and a fresh wind

  • Recently, when I spoken to many SteemcuratorsXX about the other users who were not considered before I was told that the users have to write 300+ words

  • Here I want to ask you, everyone:

What takes more time to write a text of 300 words or to do drawing or paintings

From my own experience to do a portrait or painting it takes me the whole days it is about 7-8 hours of work. But when I simply need to write about my day like a dairy (of course, I never did it) but to write 300 words takes me 15 minutes only!!!

 

@worldofxpilar Challenges

 

  • The challenge will be organized by myself @stef1 and @bambuka, our discord tags: "Stef1#0658" and "bambuka#1499"

  • The challenge will be to create Visual Art: either drawing/painting according the tutorial of WOX Professors: @jorgevandeperre, @arcoiris, @fumansiu, @ranartblog and our Photogrpahers @xaviduran, @bambuka and maybe more.

  • The Challenge posts will be done from Community account and 50% of the post payout will go to the appropriate judging Jury

  • We will comment on every posts and depending on the quality the posts will receive Upvote from Trial

  • The posts will be checked for Plagiarism and original content

  • Because it will be Visual Art posts it is important photos capturing the process of work and we do not count how many words you write.

  • It is an unique Community and only a Visual Art Challenge

Good action! And you are absolutely right: I never thought about the fact that you as photographers or painters and graphic designers were not even considered as beneficiaries...

In Team Freestyle we were allowed to neglect word count and other criteria as curators: then that should also be possible in the context of these challenges!

Gute Aktion! Und Du hast völlig recht: ich habe nie darüber nachgedacht, daß Ihr als Fotografen oder Maler und Grafiker gar nicht in Frage gekommen seid als Nutznießer...

Im Team Freestyle durften wir als Kuratoren Wortanzahl und andere Kriterien vernachlässigen: dann sollte das im Rahmen dieser Challenges auch möglich sein!

Thank you for the support of that bold action. We need to grab what we can and change hte routine of the old style challenge weeks. Hope people will see it like that too.

Hola @stef1, estoy de acuerdo con muchos puntos que planteas en la postulación, es necesario apoyar más el arte y a los usuarios que aportan calidad a la plataforma. Es lo que se quiere para steemit. Espero tengamos éxito con está entrada y que sea tomada en cuenta, sé que harán un gran trabajo.

Los profesores son excelentes y merecen todo el apoyo. Saludos!

Great ideas.

Thank you for supporting it, would be great to have you in.

finally, i am excited. To be quite frank, we won't increase our SEO here on steemit if we only support things like the diary game. It doesn't pique the interest of people outside steemit, drawing or paintings or fanarts lures the eyes of people who doesn't know a thing about steemit. Thanks for your meaningful thoughts @stef1, looking forward to join this contest!

Useful and informative content, thank you.

I'm here to support. I will support everyone except plagiarism and spam.

Best regards..

That is nice to know, glad you like it.

As someone posting her artwork on a daily basis in the World of Xpilar community, this sounds amazing and I hope others outside the community see that as well. Not that I can't get in 300 words with my posts (and usually exceed that in effort to provide quality content) but what @stef1 says about art taking so much longer to create than a 300 word blog is entirely spot on.

Hi @scratched-burnt, thank you for your nice feedback and it would be good to get you involved too. If you have any idea that you would like to interact with other users as a tutor it would be nice to have you among others too.

I'm not saying I am unwilling, but I'm not sure I know the platform well enough to even know where to start! Open to suggestions/guidance on that one.

In that case, we can start with others and you can see how it runs, then it is the same structure so will be easy to follow the same steps.

It may take about a week until we will find if the application is successful, in any case we can run our own contest too.

Well, one of the things that attracted me to this community was contests, even though I wasn't entering them that often. I felt it was helping drive engagement in general. I'm not sure how long I would have stuck around if not for finding this community. Things changed from when @jae5086 first joined many years ago.

Yes, the things are changed and the communities too. We try to keep up with many of our user but its good to have such people like you who are active around too.

@jae5086 can't even recall communities when he first joined back in 2016 (he thinks). Glad he thought this would be good for the business though because it's been enjoyable. I'll definitely be around making posts of my art and I'm glad the activity is helpful. Happy to help if possible, just need directed.

Thank you Jorge, I also wish that it comes true, would be very exciting time. Also appreciate for your agreement to be a part of our tutors.

Thank you friends for supporting our application.

What a great action of you and the whole team running @xpilar community.
And of course many thanks for letting me to contribute with my tiny participation.

Thank you Xavi, hopefully it will work for us, because I have many ideas what we can do. We will see what happens and I am glad you would like to contribute in this initiative.

Felicidades por la selección para el challenge amigo @stef1.

Estoy totalmente de acuerdo en que las obras literarias puedan tener un aproximado o más de 300 palabras.

Sin embargo, en relación a la parte del arte visual como dibujos, pinturas, fotografías, estoy de acuerdo en que se prefiera dicho contenido como material de trabajo.

Pienso que cada arte tiene su forma de expresión y la idea no es encajonar sino propiciar mayores participaciones.

Les deseo mucho éxito en esta etapa.

Saludos
