Dear Steemit Team,

Based on my experience in Steemit Challenge Season 29, where there were quite a lot of participants and enthusiasm in following each lesson, I saw that this location photography theme was very suitable and worthy of continuation in order to produce neat and beautiful posts. Therefore, in Season 30, I submitted an independent application with a continuation theme: “Exploring the World Through Photography II”. This program is a continuation of location photography learning, focusing on places that are rarely documented but have high social value, deep culture, mysterious history, and everyday life.

Through this challenge, participants are expected to be more sensitive to their surroundings and transform simple locations into visual stories that are easy to read and have deep meaning.

Even though there are already good photos, many Steemit users still experience confusion in:

• Finding unique locations outside of common tourist spots
• Combining photos with useful information
• Organizing posts according to Steem Atlas standards
• Creating strong visual storytelling

Therefore, this 6-week challenge aims to train participants to document real locations with good photo composition, clear narration, and high informational value.

Here is the 6-week lesson schedule that we would like to share:

Rules of participation

Participants must come directly to the location, which means they cannot be represented by someone else. Therefore, old photos or photos from the internet are not allowed.
In addition, when publishing a post, participants must include:

• 3-7 original photos
• 1 selfie as proof of visit
• Video of at least 1 minute (very important to see the location live)
• Google Maps link + Steem Atlas pin
• Story and location information
• Post assignments weekly according to the provided material, on your personal blog or in any community such as the STEEM LENS community.
• Use the official hashtags: #photography, #steem-atlas, #steemexclusive #yourcountry (e.g., indonesia, venezuela) #steemvideo (if there is a video).
• Tasks must be written in clear and neat language and be relevant to the theme.
• Plagiarism or the use of other people's content without permission is strictly prohibited.
• Respect the work of other participants by interacting through comments and support.

The following is an example of an Assessment Format:

With the “Exploring the World Through Photography II” program running for 6 weeks, I am confident that this program will help many Steemians develop new skills and produce quality posts for Steemit.
