Culture Vulture
The tag #culturevulture is a place where you can share something unique about your country with the world. Instead of being a tag about travel or tourism this tag is more about sharing local experiences. Let's get inside the hearts and souls of the Steemit Community.
This challenge has been running since July 2017. To date we have seen participants from; Japan, Armenia, Taiwan, Indonesia, Nigeria, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, Philippines, South Africa and Burma, France, Ireland, China, Vietnam, Borneo and more.
There has been 4,800 entries, 20,000 SBD generated in post payouts. Entries have received 98,000 votes and 31,000 comments. That is phenomenal engagement. The number of contributing authors has also just gone over the 1,000 mark which is a big milestone for this challenge.
If your new to Steemit, this challenge and others like it are a great way to get noticed and build your following and network.

Decisions
Our guest judge from this month is a very popular Steemian. @anomadsoul has been a supporter of '#culturevulture for many months and a mention by him last month in a post really sent Culture Vulture into Orbit.

Thank you for reading this. I write on Steemit about Blockchain, Cryptocurrency and Travel
Very nice post. May I ask why you are against bid bots? 8 year miner and blockchainpreneur here so just curious on whats wrong with mining on POS algo?
This is really nice... I'm looking forward to reading more about other cultures.
I've entered for the contest. Can i post my link here? @eroche
I look forward to reading what people share under this tag, #culturevulture. Perhaps I can get something together about life in Montana!
It would be so great to read about life in Montana.
Vote and resteemit done sir..
ini dia kesempatan saya untuk berbagi berbagai budaya kami, thank you mr. @eroche for promote this contest.
Thank you!!!
This is really nice! Shame on me, I only heard of this culturevulture challenge until now. :(
Be sure to take part. This is one of the most exciting contests on the platform.
Aw shucks! Had I known about this earlier I would have used the tag on my post abt the bamboo organ. Oh well... I will be sure to use the tag culturevulture next time. :)
Nice concept, giving us the opportunity to showcase our various cultures here. To cover a whole culture would be a bit tedious, would it be okay if I focused on one facet of my culture, like weddings burials etc?
wow thanks for the information! Challenge make everyone grow up!
