CELF aims to build a decentralized community model of growth with a focus on culture, literature, art and engagement. --- The CELF curation guild recently joined @sndbox's [Summer Camp initiative](https://steemit.com/sndbox/@anomadsoul/meet-the-sndbox-summer-camp-members), with the aim of supporting and furthering curation communities here on the Steem blockchain. As one of the very first steps together this Summer, we have decided to collaboratively host a creative writing contest for all writers and poets on Steemit. ![CELF-winners.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPBHnvLiZJu51Vya2c2mmEekWZNzgGR5xxzdZgdLKiaew/CELF-winners.png) ## The CELF Challenge Winners: Congratulations to all the winners of the [CELF writing challenge, announced last week!](https://steemit.com/celfchallenge/@sndbox/announcing-the-first-writing-challenge-by-celfmagazine-calling-all-creatives) Steemians were tasked with interpreting a theme (below) and using it to inspire a unique short story.

The camp incentivizes Steemians to brainstorm new ideas and to work in teams to kickstart new Steem-Powered projects. With the Camp, our aim is create something different than a typical curation initiative. Here, our hope is to cultivate communities and help network creatives with all kinds of skillsets. This month, @sndbox has been working with three projects, @cefmagazine, @projectgiving and @steem-times. --- Stay tuned for the next CELF challenge, announcement coming soon!
