** Submit your Abandoned Shit Weekly Contest entries by 11:59pm EST(New York Time), Sunday! Be sure to use the tag #aswcontest **
Hi gang, just wanted to drop a reminder that you only have around 36 hours left to submit an entry to this week's Abandoned Shit Weekly Contest! This week's theme is "old wood". Take part in bringing some of this neglected beauty to the Steemit platform! Here's a refresher of the contest information:
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 from this AND contest reminder posts.
2nd Place = 35% SBD payout from this AND contest reminder posts.
3rd Place = 15% SBD payout from this AND contest reminder posts.
The Theme:
This week's theme = Old Wood! Your entry should focus on old wood. Rotted, dry-rotted, mossy, moldy, whatever. Old wooden planks to a barn or a ship, maybe? The skeleton of a burnt-down building? A long forgotten covered bridge? There's tons of abandoned wood material out there, lets see what you find!
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 used for this week's ASW contest reminder logo. It's an old grave marker from the cemetery of an abandoned ghost town in Death Valley. It's almost exactly 100 years old, but the dry desert climate keeps wood from rotting and decomposing.
