Great news (and NOT April Fools)! The prize pot for Season 2 of the Photo Games has reached 110 SBD!
Starting tomorrow, EVERYONE will have a chance to compete for a prize pool of at least 110 SBD during the month of April!
We still hope to confirm a few more Photo Stars, in which case the prize could go up as high as 135 SBD, but right now this is how they will be awarded at the end of the month:
| PLACEMENT | PRIZE | SBD ESTIMATE (THESE NUMBERS CAN ONLY GO UP FROM HERE) |
|---|---|---|
| 1st place overall | 27% of the prize pool | 29.7 SBD |
| 2nd place overall | 17% of the prize pool | 18.7 SBD |
| 3rd place overall | 10% of the prize pool | 11 SBD |
| 4th-5th overall | 4% of the prize pool | 4.4 SBD Each |
| 6th-10th overall | 2% of the prize pool | 2.2 SBD Each |
| Weekly 1st place Winners | 7% of the prize pool each | 7.7 SBD Each |
Thank you to all the Photo Stars who have put their money towards the prize to help make Season 2 a success!
If you haven't heard,
is changing the reward format in the month of April.
Season Two will be a month-long contest, with a leaderboard and prizes awarded at the end of the month based on points earned in the games each week (there will also be a weekly winner).
When you win points during the games each week you will see your name pop up on a leaderboard and be able to track your progress towards winning the big prizes at the end!
Both the public and the Photo Stars will compete for the same prizes. The Photo Stars (including the Photogames Team) will be assigned to four weekly groups to host the games and will not be eligible to earn points during their week, but will be able to compete in a bonus Photo Star game to make up for that lost time.
You can read all the details here.
If you've read this post and are interested in becoming a Photo Star, we may still have a spot for you - but act fast!
There are a maximum of 5 more spots left, with some expressing interest already but not committed. The available weeks are Week 2 (lead by ), Week 3 (
) and Week 4 (
).
Spots are first-come-first-served. If you're interested, join the Discord channel and ask your questions there. We'll let you know what the expectations will be (you'll need to be active during your week). To confirm, send your 5 SBD to .
Again, you do NOT have to be a Photo Star to compete for the prizes, but being a Photo Star is a great way to get involved in the game-making process, attract a larger viewership to your blog and make new friends! And there will be a special photo contest that only the Photo Stars can play - more on that later this week!
