Hi everyone. In this issue of The Curator. We wanted to venture out of our normal. As some of you guys may have noticed. We usually choose a particular subject in each of our issues. We then hunt for and choose from all of the wonderful posts that we've discovered, based on that subject. But we noticed that by doing this. Even though it a may be a bit easier, with us keeping such a boarder. We were sadly having to pass up on many other equally wonderful posts.

So we have decided to break our boarders. Step out of our box. And broaden The Curator's horizon. Our goal is to get more undervalued, yet undeniably fabulous posts seen. And to bring more value to the Steemit community.

Hope you guys enjoy.......

Featured Steemit Community Challenges

There are so many Challenges/Contests that one can participate within the Steemit platform, from Photography, Art, Karaoke, Baking/Cooking, Writing and many others. We wanted to take a look at some of the maybe underground newer ones that are Fabulous just like all the other Community Challenges/contests that you may of missed along your travels within the Steemit universe.

Lets take a closer peek at these three Fabulous Community Contributors...

They are up to eliminations... can't watch, can't everyone win...

With only being the second week of challenge for the @steemit-ironchef, the contestants have come out with their knives sharpened with having a whopping 23 entries in the 2nd week, @progressivechef really has his hands full with judging all these amazing entries, with being a talented chef himself @progressivechef is really bringing out the imagination of what can be done with food, with Steemians taking the bulls by the horns and showing what they can produce. Who knew all the amazing dishes you could make using carrots...

What would the world be like with a Decentralized Record Label, grow artists - help get to where they want to go and when they are really to venture in to the world they could soar gliding thru the wind with no strings clipped to their wings. That would be pretty amazing right? Three parties just didn't think it would be amazing by coming up with an idea and just stopping there, they started making it happen. @rondonson, @sirlunchthehost, and @adsactly have come together to launch the first decentralized record label. @rondonson is the Hip-Hop Psychonaut on Steemit, bringing together the love of Hip Hop with Steemian's, doing a weekly Rap Challenge. @sirlunchthehost the Steemit Vlogger making music traveling across America meeting other Steemians, setting up a studio, working on something something with @rondonson.
