The Winners

This was more of a challenge because it forced some people to go outside of their comfort zone and look at objects in a different way
and photography things they normally would ignore. This is a good exercise for those that are starting out in photography because it forces you to look at things differently and start to think abstractly and to plan your images in advance, instead of taking pictures just to capture a moment in time.

Announcement

I have shut down my solo witness server and teamed up with Hive account@c0ff33a to form a Witness Dream Team to support the Steemit community. If you are still voting for my Hive account@derangedvisions witness, you can switch your vote over to the new team witness if you still choose to support what I am doing as a witness on the platform. Here is a link to the post with more info on the merger Not Out of the Witness Game Yet and you can vote for our team witness here. I appreciate all of the support and am looking forward to helping to build up more communities here on the platform.

Thank you all

I want to thank my sponsors Hive account@czechglobalhosts, Hive account@pfunk, Hive account@ats-david, and Hive account@guiltyparties and the rest of the Hive account@steemcleaners team for helping to make this whole contest for you all possible. It would be awesome if you could all visit their pages and show them support as well.

For those that don't know, Hive account@czechglobalhosts puts on two daily photo contests that are open to anyone to enter. His contests cover the entire globe so that anyone can enter. The days and themes are:

Australian Monday

African Wednesday (My personal favorite)
European Thursday

South American Saturday

On top of the themed daily continent contests, he hosts a daily travel contests specific to the beautiful country of the Czech Republic. So make sure to follow Hive account@czechglobalhosts and participate in his contests because he is offering two daily photography contests that you can enter to win.

One major sponsor to the contests is Hive account@pfunk. For those that don't know Hive account@pfunk is a very active witness on the platform that is doing a lot behind the scenes to ensure that your user experience is a smooth one.
