Hello, Steemians!! Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you are doing great!!

Steem Atlas is growing daily, and users are simply embracing it. As I always say, this is an exciting initiative designed to create a global travel map powered by the Steem community. It allows you to pin locations you love and share information, whether it's a breathtaking tourist spot, a park, a favorite restaurant, or a historical site.

You gotta remember that, as our ultimate goal is to make this a crowdsourced travel guide to the outside, we highly care about quality and the accuracy of the information

So, through this contest, I invite you all to join this initiative and enrich Steem Atlas with more unique locations. We had another wonderful week, and this is the next one.

📍 What you have to do?

✅ Select a location you visited and create a detailed post (about the place, the route, opening times, entrance prices, facilities available, etc. ) about it. You can write about,

Tourist attractions
Holiday destinations
Mountains, rivers & lakes
Museums & galleries
Theatres
Sports venues & stadiums
Zoos, animal sanctuaries & wildlife parks
Churches, temples & places of worship
Restaurants, cafes, bars & any type of eating place

We are looking for the correct location, quality images, details, and useful information about that specific place. You can find tips from here to make a quality post: 21 Tips to Make Better Posts for Steem Atlas
