5. CLOSING
Season 24 has completed the recruitment stage and will enter the challenge stage on 21 April.
In season 24, we saw the number of teams/classes decrease again. Here is a comparison of the number of challenge organisers in the last 10 seasons.
To the selected Steemians, Congratulations. I hope you are able to complete the tasks well. For Steemians who applied and have not been selected (including me), don't be discouraged, we will contribute in other forms, and may be selected in the future.
I hope this is useful.

hi
hello ,,,
hi there, what's up ..
It is now just the Steemit Challenge rather than the Steemit Learning Challenge.
Thank you. Corrections have been made in the text and images. New image added.
Thank you for the wonderful report.
Yes, we observed that in the last few seasons, entries decreased. I think it is because more teams were selected in S20 and S21, but later the number of teams decreased, which affected the entries. Besides that , there are other fundamental reasons too. However, despite having fewer teams this time also, i am hopeful that we 'll receive more entries. Let's see how it goes.
The first week of challenge will start on the 21st. What do you think about the topic composition?
Will it be able to increase participation?
Interesting there are now 10 creative writing "courses" and not one of those people joined us. How eager are they to write?
Haha. Yes, thought so, too. Maybe we did a bad promotion. Or may it be the lack of reward. I believe we would have seen larger participation number if sc01 and / or sc02 involved. Or maybe the sum of all those reasons, and some others.
Or we have been lured in, did the dirty work and delivered the proof and suddenly they all dare! Thought about that? It's not really all for one if it comes to building Steemit. Kind of pity but so be it.
It's always interesting hoe greed takes over and how fast people leave but also how easy they lie and change into what the said they despised only a few years ago.
🙃
P. S. The prizes were high enough and the chance to win way higherplus those who joined more motivated. But 6 weeks is long, way too long. Pauzes are meeded to practise.
1 hour learning means 5 hours practise if you want to learn or improve a skill. Ifnot the brain can not adapt.
Okay, let me adapt to this first.
