Thank you to everyone who took the time to submit an application for the Communities of the Month Support Program.
We received 52 applications in total this month.
From the information in the applications and from our observations over the past month, the communities to be supported have been selected.
For October we have again increased the number of communities to be supported. As well as seven Communities of the Month, we have added another five communities to receive support from the @booming accounts to bring the total to 37.
For those communities selected this month we strongly advise you to make the most of the extra votes to build up your voting strength so that you can in future become more self-reliant.
For those not selected keep following the Community Guidelines and keep building your communities to increase your chance of being chosen in future months.
Our final advice to all communities is to have a clear focus and do your best to keep the posts in your community aligned with that focus.
For October the Communities which will receive the support package from @steemcurator01 are...

And also returning again…
Alongside these five communities we have again chosen a pair of communities who cover similar areas. They have recently announced a collaborative partnership - a very positive move which helped them be selected among the Communities of the Month for October...

Support from @steemcurator01 will begin from October 1st so make sure you have plenty of good quality, #steemexclusive posts, make sure you are commenting on all posts and make sure you continue to follow all the Community Guidelines.
If we find any of these communities are breaching the guidelines, we may reduce or withdraw the support from @steemcurator01 before the end of the month.
In addition to the seven Communities of the Month, a further 37 communities will be receiving support from the @booming accounts.
The @booming support will be available at two levels. Tier 1 communities will receive 5 votes per day from the @booming accounts, and Tier 2 communities will receive 3 votes per day.
The Tier 1 communities for October are…
The Tier 2 communities for October are…
Again, if we find any of these communities are breaching the guidelines we may reduce or withdraw the support from the @booming accounts before the end of the month.
Please would a representative from any communities newly selected for @booming support leave their Telegram / Discord contact details in a comment below.
We hope the Community Support Program will continue to help communities build towards self-reliance.
The goal for all communities should always be to build up their voting strength so that they can operate successfully and attract new members without relying on continual support from Steemit accounts.
We look forward to seeing communities move in that direction.
Thank you
The Steemit Team
