Hello steemians,

As the Steem Atlas Ambassador for Africa, I’m kicking off Week #6 of our weekly challenge to map the Africa we actually live in — our markets & cafés, beaches & hikes, workshops, murals, festivals, campuses, street food corners, and the everyday places that make our cities and villages special.

Every valid post adds a precise pin to the map and helps travelers, students, entrepreneurs, and locals find verified, useful info: how to get there, what it costs, when to go, and how to stay safe.

This isn’t a photo drop. Together we’re building a useful, verified layer of African knowledge on the blockchain with your words, your images, your coordinates. Weekly prize pool 50 STEEM (25 / 15 / 10). Add a short original video or discover new spots for bonus points.

If it’s your first time, I’ll help you pin accurately and structure your review. Tag @kouba01 for a quick pin check or draft feedback.

How to publish a Steem Atlas post

1) Directly on Steem Atlas (“Create Post”)

Open https://steematlas.com/ → Create Post.

Place the pin:
- Click on the map (zoom to the exact spot, then click), or
- Use current location if you’re physically on site.

Pin description: enter place name + city only (e.g., “Olympic Stadium, Rades”).

Write your post: title, body, images, links, and tags (e.g., steem-atlas, atlasafrica, country tag).
Rewards & beneficiaries: choose your reward option, add @steem-atlas as a beneficiary (5–10% recommended).
Publish using your posting key.

2) Via Steemit.com (“Embed Pin”)

Write your article on steemit.com as usual.
In another tab, open https://steematlas.com/ → Embed Pin.

Place the pin (map or current location), then name the pin (place + city).
Copy the generated pin code from Steem Atlas.
Paste that code into your Steemit post (ideally at the end for easy verification).

Do not change the code (especially latitude/longitude) or the pin will be misplaced.
Publish in the Steem community of your choice; your post will appear in the right spot on the Atlas.
