THE DAILY STEEMIT SELFIE CHALLENGE – AN ELIMINATION CONTEST FROM PAPA-PEPPER – 50 SBD STARTING PRIZE POOL

in #contest7 years ago

Are you willing to take one selfie, every day, for a chance to potentially win hundreds of SBD?


If so, then this contest is for you! Are you an anonymous user and don’t want to get left out? Ski mask selfies or “bandit” style selfies could also count, so don’t let not wanting to show your face stop you from entering.

REGISTRATION

To register for the contest, the rules are simple. Also, it’ll be some good practice.

If you would like to try to play, then you have between now and midnight (CST) on Sunday to enter. All you have to do to register for gameplay is take a selfie of yourself with a piece of paper with your username on it in the photo. If you can manage to take a photo of you with your username and reply to this post with it prior to midnight (CST) on Sunday night, then you will be officially entered.

Once the contest begins, I will make requirements for each round. Perhaps your selfie will need to include a hat for one round, or a type of plant for another. Either way, you’ll have to do your best every day to take a selfie that meets the gameplay requirements or you’ll be eliminated.

This contest will also be a great opportunity to win some SBD, since the prize pool will start at 50 SBD and grow daily from there!

OFFICIAL CONTEST RULES

As some people, like @quinneaker, have noticed, I like to run my contests a little differently. For instance, to participate in this contest, you do not need to follow me, you do not need to upvote my post, and you do not need to resteem it either. In fact, you don’t even need to make a post to enter. All you have to do is reply each day with a selfie that meets the requirements in order to avoid elimination.

Once players have registered, the need to keep an eye out for my daily contest posts. Once the post has been made, all players have 24 hours to take a selfie that meets the requirements. If the photo does not meet the contest requirements or if the player takes too long to reply, they will be eliminated from gameplay.

The prize pool for this contest will continue to grow in each round, and bonus points will be handed out in each round as well. Each bonus point will be worth one SBD, and will be paid out after the player has been eliminated, or when they win the contest. Much like with my STEEM-Pocalypse game, the last person(s) standing will receive 75% of the total prize pool while whoever gets eliminated immediately prior will receive 25% of the same, split between however many players there were.

By entering this contest, you are giving me full permission to use your selfies in contest related posts. Though you do not need to make posts featuring your entries to this contest, you are certainly free to do so if you wish.

HEALTH & SAFETY REMINDERS

Each person has their own comfort level, and I will not encourage people to risk their health or life just to play this game. If you think that you are unable to safely enter a round, then refrain from participating at that point and choose to be eliminated instead. It is better not to play this game than to get hurt or die.

Since we are playing with a global audience, I’ll try my best to have requirements for each round that will work for the majority of people. If, for instance, I chose to have the requirement be that the selfie had to have askyscraper in the background, many of us would be very hard-pressed to fulfill that requirement within 24 hours.

Also, I will not be requiring players to put live scorpions in their mouths for the selfies or things like that, since doing stuff like that is just weird.

Since this is a potentially lucrative contest to be a part of, I am making the official request ahead of time that players not try to take advantage of me. Please be honest and avoid photoshop or other digital editing tools.

Let’s get registered people!

Also, if you want to tell your friends or even do a promo post featuring your registration selfie, please do. The more people that we get playing the more fun that we can have, and perhaps the longer the contest will go, allowing the prize pool to grow even bigger!

I will make sure to allow a minimum of 24 hours after each post for players to participate, but the ones from Friday to Saturday may be a little longer. I just wanted to mention that ahead of time.

As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Here's my entry selfie:

Thanks for being such a thoughtful, caring "Papa" and helping Steemit to grow! I look forward to the challenges of the next few days.

In case some newbies don't quite know how to paste an image into a comment, here are some detailed instructions:

(A) go to postimg.org

(B) Select or Copy-Paste your image into the light blue box above

(C) After you are sure you have chosen the correct picture, click on the second link

(D) Click on Reply just below @Papa-Pepper's post and paste in the link corresponding to your image

(E) Verify once more: is this the correct image? Can your ID be seen clearly? If so, click on the blue POST button. Don't switch off until you are sure everything has been correctly uploaded (glitches have been known to occur, so don't wait until the very last minute [2359 CST]).

Good luck to all of you!

Very nice of you. I'll upvote for greater visibility! Thanks.

Wow! You've done me a great honor by promoting my post even above yours! I'm always glad to help fellow Steemians in any way I can.

REPLY WITH A SELFIE LIKE THIS BY MIDNIGHT SUNDAY NIGHT (CST) IN ORDER TO SIGN UP!

also, I'll be offline until later Saturday night.

This sounds like Fun! I'm in.

Really cool hate, thanks for entering! Do you have more cool hats?

i got only 2 hat's..

Thanks for your support..

isoga nawng @bien oi hahah

pssst...yaw saba @manualbot serious na bya kaayu ko ana..hahaha...

I'm 3 days into steemit...how exactly do I upload a image on a comment like this?

There might be other ways of doing it as well, but for me, I upload my image onto imgur.com and copy and paste the .jpg image link into the comment box. Hope that helps :)

Thanks to you both! I'm going to give it a whirl!

Rank 50 in just 3 days!!! WOW!
Anyway, just drag the photo from your computer file into the text box. Very simple!

I upload mine to imgur.com or postimg.

I have the Imgur link but than what?

...then cut and paste your link into the comment.

I used postimg.org

I used the 2nd markdown code and it worked for me.

Cut and paste the code into the comment.
Check the preview to make sure your picture is showing up.
If your picture doesn't show, try to cut and paste one of the other options.
One of the top 4 options in postimg.org should work.

Cheers.

Hey! Go to a new tab and post new article.

Upload an image into that new article with normal button.

Copy the code into this comment, then never post new article.

Good luck!

Good point!

Hi, I am so excited to participate in this selfie things! I can share this experience with my husband. Thanks papa-pepper for making different and special activities!

Day 1 Ledis.jpg

Thanks papa - this is one of those things we can do as a family!

Day 1 - Alex.jpg

Aha! There will be two players from your family! Wise choice! More opportunity to win!

LOL! Good! Can't wait to have you in!

@splendorhub selfie contest.jpg
This seems like a fun and harmless contest :) I'm in it to win it!

Wow. You are so beautiful

I was going to say the exact same thing

Thank you :)

welcome

You are way too beautiful. I think we should all just go home. I have found the winner. I dont want to compete with you. Lol..

Thank you. :) This should be lots of fun! Best wishes.

I left a comment in one of ur post at ur blog

I'll try to keep it harmless!

Make sure to integrate glitter to one of the selfies...please :) lol

My phone takes such high rez pics I had to shrink it... and it's still kinda big!

Lol!

Thanks for the contest. Selfies are my game. 😎

I feel like those glasses might be photoshopped @carrieallen.

;-)

OMG! How could you tell?!

I kid. Those are pretty much a permanent fixture on my face... unless I feel like falling. LOL! 😆

Alright! Be ready Monday to get started! Remember to watch every day for the new theme so you don't get eliminated!

I shall do my best! 🙃

how do you upload images?

To upload in a comment you need to put the pic somewhere so you can copy the web address.

I use Google Photos, as my phone is already connected. I just have to go to photos.google.com and my most recent pic (selfie I just took) is there. Click on it to view THEN right-click and copy image address. Then you'll need to paste it in here with the the markdown code for a picture.

Pictures in markdown:

![title of pic](image address)

You don't NEED a title, but DO leave in the brackets.

You can also upload images to Imgur and get a link that way.

Good luck!

You start a Post.

You upload the image clicking on "selecting them":
Insert images by dragging & dropping, pasting from the clipboard, or by selecting them.

You copy the code and you paste it in your reply.

agreed! We run our photos through microsoft paint, which has an option to change size, we put it down to 33 percent, which means we only are uploading one/ninth of the original resolution!

Sounds really good.
Will give it a try.

Oh, @papa-pepper, thanks for this contest!
I'll try my best (rhyme :)
And I upvoted/resteemed/followed

@happymoneyman Selfie Contest

selfie_contest.jpg

Honored to finally play an @papa-pepper game!

Lol! I almost did one upside down! 🙃

Haha, awesome and random. I liked your shot too.
This contest will be fun.

LOL! You're getting ahead of the game!

haha, I was inspired. Hopefully I didn't use up all my selfie mojo on the intro.

Wow I love your style

Thank you. This contest will be a good time for all of us. Can't wait to see your selfies too.

Lol
Wow
This is creative!

You would have laughed seeing me try to line up the phone and paper upside down. It would have been funny as a video with me fumbling around.

Hahahaha...
Ur effort is highly appreciated bro
But please don't set the bar too high for the rest of us.
I don't want @papa-pepper to start asking everyone to do that upside down thing lol

haha, thank you. I think I spent most my creativity on that one, so don't worry.

What an eye-catching picture! Upvoted!

image

hello sir @papa-peper this is my first time to join a contest like this. I hope you will like it..

Loving your sunglasses

I hope that you will like it too!

This looks awesome and simple ... must try this lol ... you really the king @papa-pepper. lol

WOW, you stepped up your game for this contest. Hopefully, we will not be challenged to be as creative because I think you just won, lol.

Quality creativity @buckydurddle. The force is strong with you.

Thank you, young Jedi @happymoneyman

Omg!
This is some serious competition
Lol
Wow!
Awesome stuff sir @buckydurddle

Haha thanks @tojukaka. This is going to be fun :)

I am getting married in about ten minutes. This may be the only time you ever see me wearing a tie.

My congratulations to the bride and the handsome bridegroom!

My "cutting it close" entry. Hell, if I am barely getting this in under the wire, not sure that bodes well for me in the contest. But what the hell.

LOL

P.S. Can we use effects and such on the pics, just for fun?

2017-10-08 21.00.07.jpg

I'd prefer raw photos that are unedited for this contest. There will be some competition along with the elimination, so I'd like to keep things real.

Copy that.

Bring it on sir! @papa-pepper

Who am I to shy away from a selfie contest?
Lol
I totally love selfies and I even have my own weekly sundayselfies contest.
Thank you
I hope i can keep up
Good luck to everyone

What?!!!
You have your own selfie contest?
That explains your quality form on this selfie.

Dang! The competition is going to be much rougher than I anticipated.
...pre game jitters...

Lol
Hahaha...

Awesome smile and cool shirt, where did you get it?

my friend is a printer. i got him to design the steemit logo and print it on my shirt

Very creative, i like it.

Cool! Didn't know about your weekly contest. Hopefully you will like mine!

I love it already
Lol

I just saw this... Am in
My love for selfie😊😄

Wives are the best. 😍

Good point! Mine sure is! UPVOTE!

Bless you all, Mothers are great too, I think I can speak for all of humanity, Cheers to Mothers!!

Lol, it's because she loves you

She does, and I Love her too. 37 +years and i love her more all the time. I hope as many people as possible get to know the joy of being in love for a lifetime.

Wow!!!!
I celebrate your love

LOL - they are good for that!

They are the best, but they do lead to adventures and some weird moments. That being said CHEERS to wives!!

Nigerian steemit selfie lord @tojukaka told me about this.

great stuff happening on steemit everyday

the lord of the steem!!!!
your swag is way too much

Glad to have you in man! Get ready, it'll be fun!

Haha! I have had my phone a couple years, just figured out how to do selfies a few weeks ago. Never felt the need... before steemit. So here you go, one of my first selfies.014.jpg

Cool! You are ready to go!

image image

Not sure why it uploaded sideways, but these flowers are my birthmonth flower gift from dad ❤️

Sidewise or not, you're registered!

I'm excited to finally join one of your contest, thanks for mixing it up. Also, the chicken i told you before was ill is getting better :)

wooo hooo You go, Kubby!!

Thank you bucky!

I'm in like Flynn... I think, maybe? Depends if this pic uploaded or not. I've never uploaded anything in a comment before.

How do you upload a image in the comments? I'm getting so frustrated. ...

I cant do it from my phone so I send the pic to my email. Then I use my lap top to open the email, copy the image and paste it in the comment section. This way works for me. If you scroll up through the comnents, you will see where poppa pepper and others are exchanging different methods, good luck!

Thank you! Maybe that was my issue

I see you got it figured out, yours is right above mine now, nice pic lol!

Ha! Yeah i felt so dumb at the end of it all. Crash course in markdown to steemit properly. Thanks!

No worries, it's all good! Good luck Wednesday!

Damn, son! Looks Scary! At least I know that I can successfully upload a photo in the comment section now. Need to work on my selfie skill a wee bit!

You are in!

Came across this post and it looked like fun, so I thought why not?! Intrigued to see where this contest will lead!

I'm not usually big on selfies though, so let's see how long I last 🙄

Thanks papa-pepper!

Great idea sounds like fun.
I'm in although don't know my time so may be out fast lol!

unnamed1.jpg

We will see, thanks for signing up!

hello there @papa-pepper this was the first I join a contest and I hope you will like it.

image

This is very lovely @claudene

Thank you @tojukaka 😍

I hope that you like it too!

This sounds pretty fun, let's go!

@shello

Glad to see u here
Lol

Haha I saw you entered xD always fun to try!

Cool! Glad that you are in!

The pleasure is mine @papa-pepper! I learned that you love your family, the wildlife, and can make some cool balloon animals too. I think you are great role model, and to participate in a contest you are hosting feels awesome. I know you care a lot about the community and that makes me happy c:

Boom.
image1.jpeg

Boom! You're in!

This is very nice!

Why thank you! It's hard to keep your hair out of your face and hold a paper and a cell phone all at the same time ;-)

Why not use a paper clip/hair pin to attach the piece of paper to your clothes?

I mean, I think holding it with my teeth worked out ok! :-) Next time maybe a post it note stuck to my forehead!

Here I am! @ironshield

Excited to join this contest. My camera is not doing the best job getting both me and the paper.
IMG_0019.JPG

You have a lovely face! Perhaps you are a model?

In the future, go over the lines two or three times with a dark pen to make your writing more visible (Photoshop and its kin are not allowed).

I'm so flattered, thanks Wentong. I will do that next time. It makes sense to go over it multiple times, i didn't think to do that.

You are in! Glad to have you!

Thanks papa,-pepper.

Just because...

you do not need to follow me, you do not need to upvote my post, and you do not need to resteem it either.

and because I appreciate more than anything your (if nothing with above proved) unselfishness in an effort to help, motivate and connect all the others, I have done all of it (some long ago, some now).

P.S.
Although I'm still reconsidering my own participation as I don't know am I that brave to show myself every day, especially having in mind all the crazy things that might cross your mind 😉 to put it in front of us as a new daily-selfie-task. 😊

Thanks for all of that!

Ok, I'll give this a shot. image

hahaha, you are awesome!

Lol, thanks. This was unintentional though. I tried 3 times to flip/rotate this picture to orient it correctly...every time it posted like this. I hope this isn't the case every time!

Se ve interesante, quiero entrar, mi selfie.

Cool! Thanks for registering!

Here is my selfie pic.. Thanks for this contest. This will be a great opportunity for me as new member. Just really sorry for my messy selfie..
IMG20171007124711.jpg

Im in @papa-pepper
Thanks for this great contest.
Success to all

IMG_20171007_153712

Any bonus points for being a total selfie newb, and not knowing that even though the text looks reversed when I'm taking the photo that it goes back to normal once I click the button. Plus it took a lot for tries to perfectly right it all mirrored...lol.

That's hilarious. Haha. I thought you took it in a mirror.

I do the same thing too. Why does it have to look backwards on the phone. It's not your fault.

I wondered the same thing! Haha. Way to nail it!

The way your phone faced caused it.... If you used front camera it will come out that way. Next time its use back camera.

My first entry for the selfie contest....hope I win!!!

Selfie from the Feast of Tabernacles deep in the Ozarks!

Happy to see you playing, @dwells! Happy Sukkot! @ironshield
