Welcome to world famous Steemit Photo Challenge!
;)
For all of you new users:β
I am your host, @jamtaylor, and you can stay updated with the contest by following my page.
New themes are announced on Thursdays and the deadline is Midnight my time on Tuesdays, which is 4AM UTC every Wednesday Morning. Best practice is to get your entries in before Tuesday to be sure.
Hiatus
Taking a short break from SPC and will return with a new theme on Thursday May 11th!

Make sure you follow all of the people here, and vote for your favourites!
There may be some changes coming up in the SPC, so stay tuned for that.
The theme for 39 was Minimalism II

What about Food for the next theme???? :)
Idea for new contest: what about theme - Labour? May 1 is celebrated in many countries as labor day, and this topic could be relevant.
