Hey people, we have great news. After the short, productive and crazy negotiations, we are ready to announce our first official partnership with another community project. Sounds weird? Well, just wait to see it. So raise your glasses because from now on we are standing together with @bananafish, the creative realm of the Finish the Story and Mizu no Oto contest!
And now, let us explain.
When we started our journey, we knew that we need to do two specific, equally important things – to curate, encourage and help all crowdsourcing initiatives and to constantly develop our project. Many don't think so, but Steem is very dynamic ecosystem and we need to follow community pulse and evolve with it. The crowdsourcing is a core principle of the Bananafish work, and the quality of their crowd-created content is almost always exceptional. But this is not everything, they are planning to launch another activity in 2019, which can benefit the whole platform and put creativity on another level.

The project, an unedited format called Quest In The Realms, will immerse every adventurous Steemian in a mix between a multiple endings story and a treasure hunt with a final pot of 25 steem. QITR represents an entertaining adventure - where you will have to solve a mystery while trying to survive - and a rich contest at the same time. Will you be daring enough to put your hands on the Bananafish secret treasure?
So what exactly our partnership means:
- The Crowdmind representatives will take an active role in helping the development of future Bananafish projects. We hope that this synergy will help us reach a broader audience, and bring more people to the Steem. Yup, we did some talking about putting the content created on Steemit into the hard copy.
- Bananafish will have their channel on our Discord server. This is not the replacement for their official server, but the specific place where they discuss ideas and plans with the Crowd gathered around our project.
- The leader of the Bananafish project @f3nix will join our board team and play a historic role in shaping the future of the Crowdmind.
- The Crowdmind curators will continue to reward all great content within the Bananafish projects.
Thank you for reading this. If you have any questions, feel free to post them in the comments below, or you can find us on our Discord servers and join the celebration! Bannanamind and Crowdfish wish you happy crowdsourcing!
