Winners SunThursday contest #40 - and some changes

in BlockChainPhoto3 years ago

A round of applause please for the winners of the last SunThursday contest

Thx to @kohsamui99 for judging and selecting the other hero @tinman88 as new winner again who will also judge the next edition number 41 as a consequence. As usual all winners will receive their additional HIVE prize from me when I am liquid. The "vote prizes" are being delivered once the top 3 are commenting on this post.

Changing some rules

  • Moving forward we might change the entire setup of these contests with a new way on who decides the winners, thinking of a jury of selected people (at least 3 judges that might have not attended here and won yet - feedback appreciated from you guys).
  • From next edition we will change reward system towards big vote prizes like for BeachWednesday only instead of additional Hive as I am running out of Hive since a while and wanna stop powering down
  • Good news: Eventually we will handle the contest weekly instead of bi-weekly to make it more interesting for a broader group to attend as well for ongoing winners to win more often (to be decided)

Not sure yet on this also given I am very busy these days with other Hive chain projects and real life.

Now back to the winners - check the great photography skills of our winners and re-visit them frequently.

Below the rules for the upcoming contests - edition 41 will start on February 24, 2022.

What to win

This is a fun contest where I was always searching for sponsors - apart from @dswigle and @ervin-lemark it was a single show and I currently have to pay for two other Hive projects from my own pockets so we skip the additional Hive prizes from next edition onwards but might handle the contest every week, same goes for BeachWednesday. So at least all three will receive a "little" UPVOTE by @theycallmedan - thanks for supporting this!

Looking for community sponsors

Please comment or DM me if you want to support great photography content creators and we consider a new setup again.

How can I win?

Please create a post using the tag #SunThursday showing your own original photography or video work covering the sun or write about positivity which I link to the sun which enabled and maintains the possibility of life in general. The three best submissions will receive their prize token after 7(or 14) days.

The rules

  • Post photography, video or written content covering the topic SUN
  • Use the tag #SunThursday as your first tag
  • Add link to your submission in the comments ideally
    v- Consider to "vote&reblog" this post to spread the contest (not mandatory but it might help)
  • Only original (your own) content will qualify
  • GOOD LUCK!

Hey @dswigle - thx for the generious contribution but will send back later.

Use it at least this week, @uwelang, so no powerdown. That is too painful to have to do!

There are also other reasons fro powerdown and for that week i have enough, no worries.

Thank you very much @dswigle 🥰🌼

Congratulations to all the winners and their beautiful entries.

I know I am late but just wanted to share my post anyways, if that is ok.
