The [Atlas Challenge](https://steemit.com/steematlas/@pennsif/steem-atlas-13-apr-25-the-atlas-challenge-prize-pool-increased-to-3300-steem) has its 6th set of winners. The top ten positions on the Leaderboard at 12noon UTC today are sharing a prize pool of 550 STEEM. Indonesia managed to hold on to the top slot again, and also #3 and #9, but we are now seeing a bigger mix of representatives from other countries, especially Venezuela. There are six countries represented in the Top 10 this week including our first from Europe. The Steemit Challenge Season 24 has started today with [a team promoting Steem Atlas](https://steemit.com/steematlass24w1/@willeusz/steematlas-s24w1-or-the-steemit-challenge-season-24-week-01-history-art-and-architecture) so we are expecting another jump in activity levels in the run-up to the next prize event on 30 April. ---
