I am pleased to announce the start of the PHOTOPHILE PHOTO CONTESTS! The contests aim to find for wonderful photographs Hive users have recently shared on their blogs and reward them by upvoting their posts and share post rewards with winning entries.
Contest mechanics:
- There will be a specific theme for each contest. We will start with TRAVEL for now. A new contest for each theme will be posted after a week, unless otherwise specified. For this travel theme contest, since it is posted on a Thursday (New Zealand time), it will be "renewed" the following Thursday.
- When a contest post is created, you post your photo entry as a comment on the contest post, a description of the photo, or a story behind the photo, and the actual link of your original post where the photo came from (see first comment on this post as a sample)
Eligibility:
- You must own the entry photo
- Your post must use the #photophile tag
- While new and old posts are allowed, your post must be less than 7 days to be eligible for an upvote
- Your entry photo must be largely related to the content of your post, if not its main/primary topic.
- The participants must agree that their photo(s) can be used by
for its posts (with attribution of course) to highlight the winners and further promote the contest.
- A photo should not be re-used if it has been entered into a previous contest.
Schedule:
- Every Monday, Macro photography
- Every Thursday, photos related to TRAVEL
- Every Saturday, photos related to SUNSET
Prizes:
Two winners will be chosen - main and the runner-up - for each contest. Each of them will be a beneficiary of the rewards of the next contest post, where, the winners will also be announced. Main winner will be at 30% beneficiary and the runner-up will be pegged at 15%. In the future, the prizes might be changed (more will be added like delegation, and/or Hive Engine tokens, etc).
Others
- While reblogging and upvoting the contest post are not required, they are much appreciated
NOTE: This is NOT the contest post for the TRAVEL THURSDAY THEME, wait for it to be posted on Thursday. This is just an announcement post.
