This is my submission for mountain monday it was my first back packing hike ever and its on an intermediate level amazing for my first hike it was a 3 day hike took 21 km mainly up hill to get to the final camping spot we were a few thousand feet up in the mountains and not to mention the enitre 3 days we had 1 day without rain. i also only had about 6 hours sleep the whole time because the person who i was sharing a tent with had a crappy tent and filled with rain so i spent most of my nights sleeping on the picnic bench under the little huts. and since i was new at this i didnt pack enough food so on the last day we had nothing and just power hiked all the way down so we could get food and find a campground to sleep at all and all it was an amazing time and seen some amazing stuff
Also i see alot of stolen images if you rightclick the image click search google for images and you can find out if its stolen or an original photo
I would like to piggyback on this comment and say that I hope we can come up with a way to ensure original content. It would be really unfortunate if people end up benifitting from the work of others.
@jordan1219444 and @muttomchoppers:I hear the concern and completely agree that we need uphold the need for original content. The judges for each contest will reverse search the images and take into consideration the results of their research when deciding the winners. In the case of this contest, I am well familiar with most of the photographers who have submitted photos, and their accounts also indicate their originality. I've also done research on the others, and so far I haven't found proof of dishonesty. However, we need the community to step in at any time if such proof is found, and we need to hold each other accountable in a kind manner. Photos that are proven to not belong to the contestant will be disqualified. My guess is that we can never be 100% certain, but we'll definitely do our best. Thanks again for bringing up a valid concern. Probably a week or so into the contest I will create a post just for feed-back, and we can discuss these matters more in depth.
