We will be in touch with the selected communities to help them prepare for Season 5 of the Engagement Challenge.

The communities should prepare contests to run each week.

These contests should be free to enter for everyone. There should be no requirement or obligation to set a beneficiary or make a delegation, to the community to participate in the contests, and there should be no favoritism of selection or voting to those who have set a beneficiary or made a delegation.

To take part in the Engagement Challenge people should enter these contests - and make valuable, relevant comments on other posts in the contests.

---

The Communities selected for Season 5 should ensure they promptly check and comment on all posts for their weekly contests.

The minimum they should check for are #club status, Steem exclusivity, plagiarism and bot use.

To help @steemcurator01 and @steemcurato02 curate the contest posts more effectively we are looking for community Mods to use a clear, simple and easy-to-read comment format.

Communities are free to design their own comment formats but it is ideal if all Mods in a particular community use a common, standard format.

---

Each week we would like all 7 Challenge communities to make a post on their community account announcing the three people who have demonstrated the most engagement in their weekly contest both through the quality of their contest post and the quantity and quality of their comments on other people’s contest posts.

We will leave it to each community to decide how they select their weekly winners, but they should include in their announcement posts a brief summary of their selection process.

All the weekly winners, as well as the community announcement posts, will receive extra prize votes from @steemcurator01.

We hope you will all enjoy taking part in Season 5 of the Steemit Engagement Challenge.

Look out for more news about the Challenge on @steemitblog and in the selected communities.

Thank you

The Steemit Team
