Communities are finally here and I am *HERE* for that party! Since this feature went live a few days ago - I have spent a lot of time poking around, trying different features out and creating several of my own communities. I also created a [Tutorial Video](https://steemit.com/hive-100421/@coruscate/rhrzlkic) to walk people through how to both use and engage with communities - in addition to creating their own. Check it out if you are interested in diving a little deeper on these features.

This new feature is really getting me even more bullish on steem. Obviously there are kinks to work out and some big improvements that still need to be made - but I think this is going to go a long way to help people customize their steem experience and find community. I also think this is a really big plus for content creators like myself - because now I have even more ways to stay connected with my audience and can create an even more dynamic experience for them. ![JOIN MY COMMUNITIES (3).png](https://steemitimages.com/550x550/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQBUsrRb1891tiT1aTDPaz3r2mKE6ypbpBuuntA8LsECA/JOIN%20MY%20COMMUNITIES%20(3).png) ## How I Plan to Use Communities
Of course, this is all still new - but beyond just being able to create excitement and community around my various shows/content styles - I am really excited to think more out of the box and do some fun stuff within my communities. Things like: * Exclusive content * Giveaways just for community members * Contests within the community * Community member spotlights and awards for engagement.

Okay, the reason you are all here! In an effort to both jumpstart the communities I've created *and* encourage people to jump in and try communities if they haven't yet - I have decided to run a 50 steem giveway! ### Here are the details:
* Contest runs for 7 days - ending March 1st at noon PST. * Subscribe to all three of my communities ➡️[Girl Gone Crypto](https://steemit.com/trending/hive-165553), [Steem Sister Show](https://steemit.com/trending/hive-130016) and [FinallyFriday](https://steemit.com/trending/hive-161092). * Make a post in *one* of those communities (doesn't matter which one) confirming you have completed the challenge! Use the title "Coruscate Communities Challenge" somewhere in your title. If you want to include a bit of information on what *other* communities you are excited about in that post - please do so!
