I have been running a monthly Culture Vulture Challenge since last month, where you can feast on Culture from around the world. This is a Steemit community effort and I have been getting great help from @boxcarblue and some significant donations from other Steemit community members for the monthly prize fund. There are some exciting announcements to come for this challenge in the coming weeks. Stay tuned. * The tag to find these posts is "#culturevulture" --- #### BISteemit Tag and Challenges
