in #promo-steem7 years ago

Hi steemians, its your favorite blockchain poet, @aauthespian1.

I'll like to share my experience at the Steem camp 2018 Benin audition/meet up with the Steemit community.
Steem camp event organized by @michaelcj and great minds from @steemnaira community started few weeks back where it held its first audition in the FCT, Abuja on April 13th,2018.

A little about #Steem-Camp event:

SteemCamp is a youth empowerment initiative aimed to eradicating unemployment and poverty in underdeveloped and developing countries in Africa and the world at large. Read more about Steem camp with this Link

Steem Camp: A Regenerative Era:

I know a lot of you will be wondering what i mean by that,I see STEEM CAMP' 18 as not only a medium for empowering youths and promoting Steem platform but it's also an event of a new era.

Many of you will agree with me that @steemcamp event is one out of a million, other talent hunt and beauty search i know of in Nigeria are nothing compared to this. It was borne out of the selfless love of entertainment of @michaelcj.

My Experience at the Audition/Meet-Up:

It was really not easy getting to the venue of the event tho, i don't reside in Benin but i had to leave my school in a neighboring town just to avail myself for the event. I almost got lost in Benin, but i was able to find my way through the help of Google Map. I literally had no knowledge on how to get to the venue, the only aid i had was the map.

I got to the venue very early and had to wait for few hours before the event kick-started. The first person i met was @michaelcj, since i was familiar with his face on social media it wasn't difficult recognizing him.

I helped @michaelcj and his team to set up the place, i also helped with the registration of participants for the audition.

The Audition:

Many participants from different part of Benin and neighboring states were present for the audition. Wow!! Nigerians are really talented. One Steem Stage contestants, From the dancers to musicians to rap acts to instrumentalists and spoken word preacher.

I was entertained to my satisfaction on that day, there was also audition for miss Steem which included; interview, beauty pageant run way and others.

Meet Up:

I met other steemians from the steemnaira community on the day of the event. We had a brief meeting and a little one on one talk after the audition.

A big shout out to the following steemians:

I also want to use this medium to solicit for support from the Steemit community. If you are a fan of progress then i think you should support @steemcamp. Don't just hear of the good things @steemcamp is doing, be a part of it.

All donations(either SBD or Steem) should be forwarded to Steem camp main account @steemcamp or to the organizer's account @michaelcj.

Thanks!

I remain your blockchain poet, @aauthespian1.
