Curator Team Application for Arts - art, crafts, photography, music, poetry, creative writing by the Iconic 7

Receive warm greetings from the headquarters of the iconic 7 members. We will first of all like to thank the steemit team for providing such a wonderful opportunity to participate in the application for the curator team position. We have seen how the initiative has been helpful and for April we will like to give our support to the platform by helping to curate the posts of users on the steemit platform.

This will be our second application as we have already made one for the lifestyle theme but we believe we can also perform well in the art theme so we will like to apply for both themes and we will appreciate which ever one is given to us.

Which of the five themes above they would like to curate for

We will like to apply for the art theme. We have members in the team who are very good in the field of arts. Both in the digital art area and also in the painting area. We have members who use the Photoshop tool so well and they can help and guide users in this category. We have members who have also dwelled in the areas of music and dance before and we also have photographers in our mist who do not only use cameras in taking pictures but they also do a great job at using the cameras of phones too. We are sure that in the Arts - art, crafts, photography, music, poetry, creative writing theme we can do a great job there too.

Details of the team( nationality, languages, time active on steem, club status)

We have made sure to assemble a team consisting of 7 great members who come from all over the world. All our members are of different nationalities and they speak different languages.

The team was set up by @rubilu123(Ghana) who has taken up the role of the team leader. The team was later joined by @deepak94(India), @sathsara(sriLanka),@aneukpineung78(indonesia),@mrsokal(Bangladesh), @alexandergudino(Venezuela),@beckie96830(Nigeria).

Why would your team make a good curation team

On the steemit Ecosystem, we have seen users trying very hard and making quality post but sadly their posts go unnoticed due to several reasons. Our team is made up of members who have real-life experiences on the theme we have selected.
Our team is made up of members who are either directly involved in the field of art now or has past experience in that field.

Our concentration will be on users who are at least in #club5050. We will want to reward users who are dedicated to the platform and are engaging with the posts of other users by commenting, up voting on other valuable posts that have been made by other users. A user who is not in club5050 or any of the other clubs will be encouraged by team members after accessing the situation and then the user will be encouraged to join at least club5050 to be able to receive future support from the team.

Anything special about how your team will do their curation to ensure the widest reach

We have been on the steemit platform and have seen how the team takes pride in rewarding only quality posts. We as a team have decided that we will share the various tags under the theme we have selected so that we can curate it on daily bases. Through this, we are sure that we can curate a wide range of posts if not all posts that will be created under the tag we have selected.

First of all, we will make sure to centralize most of our votes around people who are in #club5050, #club75 and #club100. That being said, we will make sure to leave a comment encouraging them to join the various clubs so that they can be curated next time.

Secondly we will make sure that a post that has been created under our theme will be of high quality before curation is done on the post. The post will have to contain a minimum of 300 words. The user must use proper markdowns and also information provided must be useful to others on the platform.

We will also make sure to curate posts that are only under our tags.

We will make sure to check images that have been used and to make sure that the images used are copyright free and have been properly sourced.

The language that has been used in the post must be clear and easy to understand by all users.

Lastly, plagiarism is an act that is not tolerated on the steemit platform hence we will make sure to use the various plagiarism and rewriting tools to make sure that a post created under our theme is free from plagiarism before curation is done.

How they will ensure they will not vote for posts with plagiarized content

As I said earlier, we will make sure that all posts have been checked for plagiarism with the various plagiarism and rewriting tools before curation is done.

Any user who is found plagiarizing under our tag will be taken note of and continues plagiarism and content abuse of any user under our tag will be blacklisted from curation

The users must also make sure to add the #steemexclusive tag to their posts and ensure their posts are truly steemexclusive.

We will also make sure that if a user is caught plagiarizing we will make sure to leave a comment and also tag endplagiarism in the comment to take a look.

We have considered and pondered on how difficult the work will be but we are ready to help and curate posts under the theme we have selected and we will be highly honored to be entrusted with this task.

Sincerely yours
The Iconic 7.
