What an exciting announcement from the Steemit team! Season 8 of the Steemit Engagement Challenge is just around the corner, and applications are now open for communities who wish to participate. It's great to see that the Steemit team is looking for communities with active and engaged teams of moderators and admins who are committed to improving the quality of content on the platform.

The Challenge is a fantastic opportunity for communities to receive increased voting from @steemcurator01 and @steemcurator02, and weekly winners will receive extra prize votes. It's also great to see that communities are encouraged to design their own comment formats to help curate the contest posts more effectively.

Overall, this is an exciting opportunity for communities to engage with the Steemit platform and help build a stronger and more vibrant community. We're looking forward to seeing the applications and seeing the Challenge grow in Season 8.
