We are delighted that the first round of the Community Curators Project is now underway.

Getting so many great applications from people keen to become Community Curators encouraged us to revisit the figures and we were happy to be able to double up on the amount of Steem Power available for the delegations.

Now it is time to start the process to find the next batch of Community Curators for June.

Applications Open for June’s Community Curators

With the May Community Curators - @roadofrich, @wherein, @canna-curate, @greece-lover, @project.hope, @remlaps and @stef1 - now up and running, it is time to start looking ahead to June.

We will have the seven Community Curator accounts available - two with 500K SP and five with 200K SP.

If you are interested in being a Community Curator with one of these accounts for the month of June, we invite you to post an application.

As before, your application post should give details of...

• The community or subject areas you would like to curate
• Your experience and background on Steem
• What languages you are fluent in
• Why you think you would make a good curator

Please post a link to your application post in the comments below.

Applications should be made by May 21st.

Those selected will be given the posting key to the curation account on June 1 to use until the end of that month.

Please note…

• Applicants who were unsuccessful in the first round are welcome, and encouraged, to reapply for this new round. They can resubmit the same applications or modify and update them.

• The seven applicants who were successful for this May round are welcome to apply for the June round as well. Depending on their success in May, and on the other applications received, there may some cases where the account holders continue for a second month.

• Applications can be made in any language.

We look forward to receiving your applications.
