** Submit your Abandoned Commercial/Industrial photos by 11:59pm EST, Sunday! Be sure to use the tag #aswcontest **
REMINDER:
Hi gang! Just wanted to put out a reminder that there is only around 1 day left to enter the Abandoned Shit Weekly Contest. The current week's theme is "commercial/industrial". This basically means any place someone would work at. Factories, hotels, stores, malls, mines, hospitals, etc. etc. Here's a refresher of the contest info:
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 = 20.000 SBD
2nd Place = 10.000 SBD
3rd Place = 5.000 SBD
The Theme:
This week's theme = Commercial/Industrial! The photos must be of abandoned commercial or industrial facilities. Factories, malls, hotels, mills, stores, mines, etc. Basically, any place that someone would go to when they said they're "going to work".
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!
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!
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 on SUNDAY. Winners will be announced on Monday with awards distributed then as well. I figure it's a good way to start the week!
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!

^^^Here's the photo used in the logo above. Its and abandoned goldmine from the lat 1800's found in the Bullfrog Hills of Death Valley. I couldn't imagine working down in these rickety old mine shafts. It sure was cool to see in person though!
