1. Community Curators for September

Steemit is inviting applications for Community Curators for September.

There are big changes for next month. This time applications should be from individuals rather than from teams.

The third change is that Curation Teams are being encouraged to vote on comments as well as posts.

The deadline for applications is 11.59pm UTC, on Saturday, August 27th, 2022...
