***The 5th edition of the [Monthly Guest Curation Program](https://ecency.com/hive-125125/@ecency/ecency-monthly-guest-curation-program-c754b6d49a8fd) here on Hive was a great success, and it was a really tough job to pick curators from all the great applications that we received. In the end, an awesome set of Guest Curators joined our team and did a fantastic job during their term. It is now time to commence the 6th edition of the Guest Curation Program, giving a chance for Ecency users to learn the ropes of curation and in the process also grow their own profiles on the blockchain.***

Our [encouragement program](https://ecency.com/esteem/@good-karma/encouragement-program-continues-82eafcd10a299) has been encouraging and rewarding users of the **Ecency Web**, **Ecency Desktop** and **Ecency Mobile** apps over the past several months, and many users have been curious about the curation program and the job our curators do.

Curators have to navigate spam, abusive accounts and those trying to game our encouragement system, to find genuine users and deserving content to reward, encourage and appreciate.

Since curation is an integral part of the hive ecosystem, the **`Guest Curation Program`** is an initiative to allow dedicated Ecency users to learn more about curation, and in the process help support several other Ecency users as well as grow their own profile on the hive blockchain.

### <center>How To Apply</center>

We have a growing and thriving discord community, so join us on the [Ecency Discord](https://discord.me/ecency) if you haven't already, and fill up the form pinned in the `#🏁-curator-internship` discord channel.

### <center>About Guest Curator Program</center>

- 2 Guest curators will be appointed every month for a period of 30 days.

- Selection will be based upon responses received in the questionnaire. It would be desired for the user to be a dedicated Ecency user and the decision of the selectors is final.

- The rules to be followed and perks for being appointed as a **Guest Curator** will be shared upon selection.

- As a curator, it is expected that you have a desire to help the community, spread some love, cheer and goodwill among users of Ecency. And also, have the ability to identify and report abuse.

- If the guest curator is found to be abusing the granted role and powers, it will lead to immediate removal from the program.

- If you are not selected as a Guest Curator, you may reapply again in the next cycle. But a selected Guest Curator can apply to the program again only after the end of 60 days (i.e. 2 cycles after their selection). 

We are looking forward to hear from you! Join [Discord](https://discord.me/ecency) and show your curation skills to be part of the [Ecency](https://ecency.com/) curator team.
