Yo! It's time for the 22nd edition of the Abandoned Shit Weekly Contest right here on SteemIt. Man, how I have missed the abandoned stuff and urbex content being shared across the platform. This contest has legitimately changed my life, to some degree. I have always liked abandoned things, but now I actually seek them out on all of our travels. Hopefully that change will happen with others too! Okay, lets start a new week of ASW:
The Contest:
This is NOT a photography contest. The subject matter is what's being judged with the Abandoned Shit Weekly contest, not one's skills with a camera. Honestly, I just want to see some cool abandoned shit. lol HOWEVER, as with any photograph, the "wow factor" can certainly be enhanced with a technically sound execution. Simply put, winners won't be chosen strictly on artistry.
The Prizes:
1st Place = 50% SBD payout revenue from this AND contest reminder posts.
2nd Place = 35% SBD payout revenue from this AND contest reminder posts.
3rd Place = 15%SBD payout revenue from this AND contest reminder posts.
The Theme:
This week's theme = WATER! Your subject/photo must be SOMEHOW related to water. Perhaps a ship? Maybe an old well, or water tower? How about an old bridge or dock? Structures destroyed by a flood? Hell, maybe just an abandoned house with a stream in the photo? The rules for this theme are very loose, but it has to be related to water in some way... directly or indirectly.
The Rules:
Rule #1 = Your abandoned shit photo must be posted using the tag #aswcontest for one of your tags. This is crucial so that your entry can be seen/found! Dropping it's link in the comments also helps.
Rule #2 = Your photo must be taken by YOU. If you take an imagine from the internet and use it as your entry into this contest, you will be disqualified and I will flag you.
Rule #3 = Only ONE entry per user, per week. Save some content for future contests! However, multiple images of the SAME object or place in your entry post is OK.
Rule #4 = Tell us what we're looking at! You don't have to write a novel, but let us know what the picture is of, and where you found it. That's the most interesting part! Equipment and camera settings can be included at your discretion, but is not necessary.
Rule #5 = Stick to the weekly theme!
The Time:
When = New ASW contests will start on TUESDAYS and will end at 11:59pm EST on SUNDAY. Winners will be announced on Monday. Rewards will be distributed once the post pays out.
The HELP:
HELP! - I'd really like this contest to become an established, weekly feature. Resteeming the official contest announcement post here would be a huge help in getting the word out, though you do not HAVE to in order to participate in the contest. I'm just asking as a favor. Also, just mentioning the contest in/on your entry post would help a lot!
Also, an UPVOTE on this post would be appreciated; so as only to make the prize pool larger for the contest. Thank you, guys!
^^^Here's the photo I chose for this week's logo. It was taken this summer at the northern most section of Newfoundland; on the northern peninsula. There was a lot of abandoned sailing stuff in the area because most of the settlements were fishing villages. I thought this abandoned boat was particularly picturesque.
