Application For The Steemit Challenge Season 31 | Shop & Share Challenge

Canva

Dear Steemit team, I am delighted to apply for the Steemit Challenge Season 31.

For a long time, I have had ideas that I strongly believe will create more engagement on the Steemit platform and boost the quality of posts on the Steemit platform, and increase users' interaction with non-steemians who can become steemians after having interaction with a steemian.

Title: Shop & Share

---

Objective

The idea of this challenge will promote real-life activity, support local businesses, and original content will be created. With this challenge participants will be encouraged to visit a physical store, support local businesses around them through patronizing, interacting, and sharing their shopping experience here on the Steemit platform.

How Participants will participate.

The challenge will be made very simple and understandable throughout the 6 weeks, during which users will be required to do the following activities:

• Participants will visit any local store and buy at least one item from the store take a photo of the item or the receipt they bought.

• Participants will be required to provide the store information including address, location, Google map link, Google Plus Code, and Steematlas link.

• Participants will get to create a post about the store, the item they bought, and their shopping experience

• Participants will have to provide at least four recent photos taken from their local store.

• There will be no plagiarism and the use of AI as I will be very strict in checking users' posts.

• The minimum number of words will be 300.

Why I Think I Am Suitable For The Season 31 Challenge.

I believe I am suitable to take part in the season 31 challenge because I have the ideas to run the challenge which I have once conducted a challenge, and I know how to detect original content, how to use the steematlas tools, Google map, the plus code, and how to spot original images.
