No idea. We haven't been selected yet. It was our decision to make differences right from the start. Then the difference must already be in the application... Just as it was the decision of many others to write an application with tables that nobody looks at, as they have done for years.

In my opinion, it's not about difference, it's simply about addressing a need. Europeans have been underrepresented, but that doesn't mean they haven't received support from the curators.

The Steemitblog team has always respected users like you, @the-gorilla, @moecky, even @o1eh himself, so they take any application you submit into consideration, knowing only that they rarely apply.

I wish you success, and I'm sure that if you get the opportunity, you'll do your best.
