Application for Steemit Engagement Challenge, Season 19

Namaste Steemians ,

We are very happy to submitting an application for the Steemit Engagement Challenge- Season 19 on behalf of the administrators, moderators, and community members of #hindwhale.

We are very happy and proud to submit this application to host the upcoming SEC 19 Contests. We believe we have the ability and confidence to do so. Because our community has achieved a great achievement within a year of its inception, we now have more than 2000 subscribers and more than 150 active posters in our community. All of our admins and moderators are actively running the community.

Moreover, we have already successfully conducted four such competitions. We know many communities will apply to host this season and we want everyone to have the opportunity. Perhaps, if any one has not applied for it, we request steemit team to give us the opportunity.

Note: Since we submit this application every month and have to answer the same questions, therefore we have written this application with existing content citing the answers we have already given with current data.

The purpose of the community.

Our #hindwhale community is established to provide support and knowledge to all new members. Since new members must learn from their predecessors in Steemit, According to this policy, HindWhale gives new members all the direction and assistance they require, and community team members help them along the way.

Since no one is born knowing everything, knowledge is acquired through education and upbringing, the #hindwhale was founded as a GENERAL PURPOSE COMMUNITY to assist, inform, and encourage all Steemit users who want to improve and expand their Steemit accounts. In a similar vein, not every user of Steemit is an expert on the platform.

The following describe our missions and visions:

Mission:

Our mission is to help every new member who joins Steemit. we support them when they join our community and try to guide them with motivation and appropriate help because we already have experienced people to guide newbies when they join.

Vision:

Everyone should choose Steam Blockchain as their first choice for all their social networking needs. Everyone who joins Steemit will live a better life than before, we promise.

Brief history of our community.

Last year, we started our community, #hindwhale, to enable people in India to publish their posts while some Indian communities were shutting down. At the same time, our community grew to become a worldwide community with a sizable number of active members. Encouraging moral behaviour among employees has always been our goal.

Our team was taught under Steemit policies, which we adhered to. We have been chosen as one of the best communities of 2022 and have received two Tier-1 and three Tier-3 designations for Booming Support. Despite being a flourishing community for over a year, we have helped numerous Steemit users share their posts in our community as a result. We have regular posters from all over the world especially users from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Srilanka and Venezuela.

Four times in the last year, our community has been chosen to host SEC seasons—SEC6, SEC11, SEC13, and SEC16—and each time we have completed the engagement challenges. We believe we meet all the requirements to be chosen this time for our community.

• There are more than 150 active posters and 2404 subscribers in our community.

• Our community has been active for over a year.

• With delegations included, our community account has 30540 SP total and 7493.57 SP on its own.

• There are no mandatory voting policies in our community, such as beneficiary or delegation.

• All of our moderators and administrators are not going to be shutting down, have more than 68 reputations, and are actively involved right now.

• None of our moderators or administrators use delegations or bid bots to serve votes; all of them have at least #club5050 status.

• The community account is entirely controlled by the two of us administrators.

• Over 75% of the earnings from our community accounts go towards increasing their Steem Power; the remaining portion is used to fund contest prizes.

Hello @user,

Details of how the community helps members improve the quality of their posts.

Every post in our community is evaluated by our team members to find its flaws and pros. Therefore, we make an effort to review them and, if qualified, provide support. Additionally, we occasionally answer questions that newcomers to our community have regarding Steemit. To do that, we connect with them on Google Meet, Telegram, and Discord and respond to their inquiries. In addition, we have a weekly team meeting where we talk about the quality of the postings and solve community issues.
