The aim of Steem Dublin is to promote Steemit. We achieve this by supporting Irish authors and artists who wish to get established here, or even just started. The account is already following 37 people, all of whom are based in Ireland and as part of our commitment to promote Steemit we will be producing regular promotional updates and supporting content produced in Ireland. We also run meetups in Dublin if your interested in meeting some Steemians face to face.

This post is the first in a series of regular updates where we will promote challenges, tags and initiatives that are being run by authors based in Ireland. We will also keep you updated of upcoming meetups.
If your based in Ireland and wish to be included in the next roundup please contact me on steemit.chat or discord @eroche, or leave a message on this post.

Challenges

Photo Challenge

@Rickyjrx has been running a photo challenge for the past 5 weeks. There are several photo challenges on Steemit but this one is new and has been getting some great entries. I find these challenges a great way to get inspiration for posts. There is also a weekly prize which makes this one attractive.

• The tag to find these posts is "#rickysphotochallenge"

Culture Vulture

I have been running a monthly Culture Vulture Challenge since last month, where you can feast on Culture from around the world. This is a Steemit community effort and I have been getting great help from @boxcarblue and some significant donations from other Steemit community members for the monthly prize fund.
