The Atlas Challenge has its 10th set of winners - again with the new [increased prize pool](https://steemit.com/steematlas/@pennsif/steem-atlas-11-may-25-winwithatlas-delegators-draws-and-atlas-challenge-top-20). The top 20 positions on the Leaderboard at 12noon UTC today are sharing a prize pool of 650 STEEM. Indonesia took the spot again as well as positions #4, #11, #12, #17 & #19. Venezuela continued to build strength in depth taking slots #2, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, & #13. Making up the rest of the Top 20 are @joshrone from Spain at #3, along with two representatives from Bangladesh, one from Pakistan and one from the Philippines. This past week has also seen the [first Delegators Draw](https://steemit.com/steematlas/@steem-atlas/steem-atlas-17-may-25-delegators-draw-1-2-x-25-steem-prizes) last Saturday, which has helped build the @steem-atlas curation account now to 193K SP. The next Delegators Draw is this coming Saturday, and anyone delegating will receive one entry in the draw for every 1000 SP. The prizes have already been doubled to 2 x 25 STEEM, and if we reach our next target of 200K SP before the draw then the prizes will be increased to 3 x 25 STEEM. The Atlas Picture Quizzes have evolved rapidly into the [Atlas Detectives League](https://steemit.com/steematlas/@steem-atlas/steem-atlas-16-may-25-introducing-the-atlas-detectives-league-60-steem-prize-pool) with regular prizes of 10 STEEM, and a monthly prize pool of 60 STEEM. If you would like to join the ranks of the Atlas Detectives League look out for a new mission coming out later today or tomorrow. ---

You must use your own photographs.** Posts can be about... * tourist attractions * holiday destinations * mountains & lakes * museums & galleries * theatres * sport venues & stadiums * zoos, animal sanctuaries & wildlife parks * churches, temples & places of worship * restaurants, cafes, bars & any type of eating place * shops & shopping malls * universities, colleges & schools In fact any places or locations that you can locate on [Steem Atlas](https://steematlas.com/). --- You can also follow the Atlas Ambassadors who are regularly producing guides and how-to's for Steem Atlas... * @damithudaya [Sri Lanka] * @fantvwiki [Indonesia] * @miftahulrizky [Indonesia] * @mohammadfaisal [Pakistan] * @willeusz [Argentina] * @vivigibelis [Venezuela] --- **The Leaderboad rankings are not just calculated on the number of posts.** **There is a complex algorithm that uses a whole set of different factors to work out the rankings automatically and dynamically. (Being a Steem Ambassador is NOT one of the factors.)** To maximise your chances of moving up the Leaderboard you should read this new upgraded **Atlas Tips** post carefully... * [**STEEM ATLAS [20 Apr '25] : 21 Tips to Make Better Posts for Steem Atlas**](https://steemit.com/steematlas/@pennsif/steem-atlas-20-apr-25-21-tips-to-make-better-posts-for-steem-atlas) To help keep the prizes flowing we also invite people to read this post as well 😉 * [**[STEEM ATLAS @ 16 Feb '25] Towards a Sustainable Business Model 1 : Beneficiaries**](https://steemit.com/steematlas/@pennsif/steem-atlas-16-feb-25-towards-a-sustainable-business-model-1-beneficiaries) --- We are delighted at how many people are rising to the challenge of the Atlas Challenge. The next prize event will be on Saturday 31 May when 650 STEEM will again be distributed among the Top 20 on the Leaderboard. In the meantime keep posting more, and keep posting smarter. The more you post, the more chance you will have of working out how the algorithm works 😀 Read the posts, read the lines, and read in between. The truth is out there...
