Posted a speech 

Great Speech!       But to be a curator, you have to become a Scratcher first. Right now, you're a new scratcher. To become a normal Scratcher, you need to

1) Have enough projects
2) Have been on Scratch for a month
3) I think that's it.

But, when you do, I think you'd make a great curator!

Actually anyone can be curator.

What are the requirements of the curator?
•Must have the "Scratcher" status
•Must post a speech or application or whatever you want to call it in this thread
and last but not least (and actually most)
•Must be chosen by the Scratch Team.

2nd attempt

I would like to become a curator. To improve my chances of attaining this elite rank in the Scratch hierarchy I will like to state that I have better judgment than everyone else, henceforth indirectly implying the inferiority of other people's judgment.

I promise to infect Scratch with tons of stickman projects. There will be so many that your creativity will implode. I will promise to make sure none of the projects are opinionated so nobody gets offended.

Thanks.

Hi fellow Scratchers! I am beyblade4 and I will try my best at this    Here goes everything!

Dear Scratch Team and Fellow Scratchers,
Hi! I am beyblade4 and I would like to become a curator here on Scratch because being here on Scratch for almost a year now has allowed me to experience that vast wonder of collaborations and projects. However, before I explain why I would want this position, I would like to take this opportunity to say that I am quite active in the forums especially in the Help With Scripts and the Collaborations simply because I like helping (not trying to brag). Furthermore, a curator's job is quite a profound one and if I were miraculously chosen to be one I would choose a diverse amount projects, not just dwelling on certain ones. For example I will go at projects such as projects that provide as an educational tool to all of our Scratchers, I will as well choose projects that Scratchers that have put a lot of work and effort into. Such as fun projects, with a new, fresh idea/concept, and that show a profound work  of programming art. Furthermore, I will as well select projects from people who don't get the views they deserve, so that gives an opportunity for many other Scratchers to be given the spotlight. If I were as well to choose projects, I would have a view cap of 60 views and 10 love-its, I will as well choose Scratchers that aren't that famous (excluding semi-famous) so everyone will get a chance. The projects I choose will also be based on the Scratcher's recent projects, for example, if they have been front paged recently I will not choose the project so that I will give others a chance! And that is why I would like to become the next Scratch Curator.
Yours Truly                                                                                                      ~beyblade4

Dear SDS or any one else who reading this

I have got an idea for a curator that's not me... I think Coolscrawl should be curator because he taught me scratch and with out him I wouldn't have the pleasure of going on scratch every day. Coolscrawl is also still teaching me when we meet (He is teaching me about variables)
he also is always helping me with hard projects and giving me advice on my projects.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and please think about what I have said

Thanks! :3

Why, all my life i wanted to be a game designer.This is my new account,but my first was when i was 6.I enjoy games that are adventurous and puzzling.CoolScrawl is one for instance, he made worm bridges to the front page 1h 32m after posted.I love games that also have mesh.My next game is scratch- mission impossible. Watch out for it October.I really like all games that are made from all ages.

I would love to be a curator on the Scratch homepage.

I would curate projects that range from a few hours old to a few weeks old, but I will mostly curate the newer projects of less-known Scratchers. I am a particular fan of puzzle games, platformers, but I also like many projects that are not games.

I wouldn't curate projects from very well-known Scratchers, because that isn't the purpose. One, they'll get tons of views and comments anyway, and two, there'll probably end up on the front page for most viewed or most loved.

I would add a new project about 3-5 times a week and I would accept requests but they'd have to follow guidelines, such as being appropriate, having a certain number of views/love its or less, and certain facts about the scratcher (not being frontpaged recently, for example).

Please consider letting me take on this role as it would be a fun and learning experience. Thanks!

Hello, I am interested in applying for curator. I discovered scratch 4 years ago, but only got back on about one year ago. I've watched the community grow, fall, and rise from the ashes. I've seen legends be made, coming out of nowhere thanks to the curator position. I would like to curate unnoticed amazing projects, which have a lot of potential. I scour newest projects a lot and have found many curateable projects in newest. I actually have a list of about 4-5 projects i would start with if I were curator.I would also curate projects that taught about something, as well as an example of what it taught. For example, I found a very interesting well thought out tutorial explaining binary. If I were curator I would likely curate that and a project the displayed and made use of binary. I hope you consider my application.

Sincerely, zubblewu. Scratch on everyone 

Hello Scratch Team,

I am interested in applying for curator. I have had 2 of my projects curated, Math Practice +, -, x, and / and Ballo 3. I was so happy when I was curated and I would like for other people to have that feeling too. I would curate games by people that are not very known. I have seen a few exceptional games like PentagonStudios' SpaceCombat 1b2d yet it only has less than 25 views... I want more scratchers be known for the good work they have done.

Thank you,
megamastergamer

I want to be curator. I know a good project when I see it. I hate it when a great project is not seen.  I love projects that help make scratch a better place and tutorials.

Hmmm, I was curator about 8 months ago. Too early to apply again? I never saw a rule about applying twice in the OP.

Oh, and I can't think of anyone more deserving than zubblewu to be curator, so please seriously consider him. I can't believe he hasn't been curator before.

Lightnin states otherwise.
