Contest Announcement & Winners | Steem Atlas Challenge iX - Pin Your Favorite Spot

Made by Canva

Hello, Steemians!! I hope you are doing great!!

Steem Atlas is growing daily, and users are simply embracing it. As I always say, this is an exciting initiative designed to create a global travel map powered by the Steem community. It allows you to pin locations you love and share information, whether it's a breathtaking tourist spot, a park, a favorite restaurant, or a historical site.

You gotta remember that, as our ultimate goal is to make this a crowdsourced travel guide to the outside, we highly care about quality and the accuracy of the information

So, through this contest, I invite you all to join this initiative and enrich Steem Atlas with more unique locations. We had another wonderful week, and this is the next one.
