📷📷New BeScouted Photo Contest to Join! SBD and Membership prizes! WEEK 1: PORTRAIT📷📷

bescouted (67) in bescoutedphotocontest • 7 years ago (edited)

After almost a month on Steemit and participation in various amazing contests i have decided to host a #BeScoutedPhotoContest

PRIZES

I have saved up some STEEM DOLLARS and i am establishing a personal 10 SBD prize for the winner.
Three winners will share all liquid STEEM in equal shares.
Three winners will receive yearly BeScouted Expert membership worth 99 EUR each should the winners choose to SignUp on BeScouted and provide their profile link after winning.
Three honorable mentions will receive yearly BeScouted Pro membership worth 48 EUR each should the winners choose to SignUp on BeScouted and provide their profile link after winning.

I will be judging and selecting the winners since the contest is new. I will try to back up my decision with an explanation why i think this was the worthy winner.

Since BeScouted is all about discovering talented people and cooperation the theme of the first week will be quite generic to maximize participation in order to start things moving.

WEEK 1 - PORTRAIT

THE RULES

Use hashtag #BeScoutedPhotoContest It will help me to find all entries.
BeScouted Photo Contest should be in the title of the post. For example: BeScouted Photo Contest Week 1: Portrait

Congratulations, @bescouted! I have upvoted and resteemed this and wish you all the best. One question: Is there a limit on the number of entries?

Thanks! Well no. I have seen some contests to limit the entries and maybe it makes sense once it goes really big but for now anyone can share as many as they want. Unless there is something that i do not know yet :)

Hi, here is my second submission - portrait variations for my new Techno album cover - the first one is the submission :-) since the others are more abstract....

Thanks man :) I think you should challenge yourself and try taking a portrait near the window for example :) Would be lovely to see and maybe give an advice or something :)

We'll see. Maybe... No promises.. There's so many good authentic photographers here, but I do appreciate the encouragement.

That is usually a requirement in most art and some other photo related contests (art-trail, artstyle, tinyart etc...)

Hi @bescouted -

this main post will be read first and as announcement etc. receives more upvotes /attention ... pops up as trending - will be resteemed by participants.
Due to the apparent nature of Steemit, individual posts disappear fast in the vast maelstrom ... and nobody knows this tag yet.
Peers are creatures of habit / we are used to a certain format of the challenges. :-)
All in one place ... makes it easy for all - give us pictures in this post and we are more likely to respond - easier (pre)selection, more engagement - easier to vote. :-)
Perhaps have a look at other challenges ... and you will see what I mean. Sorry, I am Indonesian / English is not my first language.

Thank you for your input, and your English is very good :) My thinking was that once you navigate to this post, or any other post that participates in competition it is much easier to click on contest tag and see all the entries if interested rather than going through the comments and not getting the full picture. It's at least how i do it in other contests, but maybe everybody has their own way.
