Hello there! Welcome to our digital castle.

Here's another sort of surprise bonus late in the game challenge. I think this is going to be a fun one! :)
The object of this quest is to make a meme out of one of the IFC pictures we provide. :)
You can do multiple memes if you want, you don't have to do just one.. But.. Do at least one if you wanna enter.
It can be funny if you want, or serious, or poetic, or, whatever really.. It's up to you.
We have a lot of great artwork from the world, and.. I think in time if the game continues to grow that this could be even more popular..
And.. If no one is too sensitive, it could be funny too! I'm going to do my best to not be offended if people make memes making fun of my character.
I really want to encourage people to have fun with the challenge and for the peoples who are represented in the pictures to try to not take it too personal if someone makes a funny meme about you.
I think it's good to be able to laugh at yourself from time to time.. I think that was one of the wise teachings my grand mother taught me that really sticks out in my memory..
She sent me a letter once that said it's really important to be able to laugh at yourself and I think that will always stick out at me. :)
I think sometimes we can get a bit too serious, and.. It's good to be light hearted from time to time and.. Just laugh and have fun. So.. I hope we get some great entries, and please try not to take it too personal if someone makes a funny meme about you. :)
Also.. That's not an excuse for people to be mean spirited, I just realize people have a lot of different kinds of senses of humor or ways of looking at the world and I don't wanna try to restrict things too much, I want you to feel free to express yourselves.
Here are the images you can use!
And.. I you can also use the UFO Castle shot above at the top of the page and the judges one below at the bottom of the page as well if you'd like. There's also The Marketplace image here, though. I'm not sure how well the building/group ones will serve as memes. But.. Might as well make them available in case anyone has ideas!
And now a moment for our sponsors!
First up is @ats-david who has helped greatly! If you appreciate this contest or just his efforts in general you may want to look into voting for him as a witness at @ats-witness, he does a lot of other cool things for the community as well!
Next is @timcliff who has similarly helped out the contest significantly and who is also a witness who does a lot for the community, so likewise if you appreciate the efforts you may want to vote for him as witness also!
@krnel has also offered some support and does other good things to help out on the platform in general, I suggest you vote for krnel as a witness as well if you want to support all of this.
@steemcommunity has also helped us and expressed interest in helping more in the future and they likewise also help the community in various additional ways, I suggest voting for them as witness as well!
I'd also like to thank @theguruasia who has pledged at least 20 steem to the second and third place prizes and he said he may even donate more.
And @nxtblg who has been regularly resteeming and upvoting our challenges which has been a big help!
Plus one other person who has been helping a lot who deserves some credit is @soundlegion who has also been upvoting the contests regularly.
And while not technically sponsors, we are working with @davemccoy and those at #newbiegames and #newbieresteemday and they do a great service to the community so definitely check them out if you appreciate that, or if you're new.
Also not a sponsor, though @iexplore has taken a huge workload directly off of my shoulders and is now doing the "catch up" rounds, those should be posted on the @ifc page.. And I suggest giving him a follow and some support as well if you appreciate the work as he is doing an amazingly helpful and important job! Oh and he usually posts the catch up rounds on Sunday the day after I post mine on Saturday.
For this challenge.. If there's a tie.. We will do another round to see who wins.
The winner will be decided by whoever gets the most votes.
The only people who can vote in a qualifying sense are myself and the judges I've selected and we will vote by leaving a comment on the submission that we like the most and say something like.. "I vote for this one" and a reason why we voted would be good too, but is not mandatory.
You have until this challenges post payout ends to submit your post. Though we do accept late entries if you get it in before all the judges vote.
The challenge will finish after 7 days when the post ends and provides its payout cycle and unless there is a tie, the winner will gain the steem, the XP and have a point to go towards their long term win. (minus the 25% for curation)
Rules
1. Challenge Thirty Nine starts now and is a challenge to make an IFC meme. 2. Create a blog post for the contest. 3. Title must contain, "IFC S1 R39 entry" 4.

"Thats Cool", that was my first real attempt at a meme, for of course the IFC, a little black bunny in the snow with its front paws up. It was kind of fun to try, I think you will enjoy the effort.

Yup! It is kinda like the first week.. I was thinking that also! And I was already behind and had too much to do, but.. I really wanted to do a few of these quests before the season ended.. So I gave it a try! And.. on the bright side, I don't think a meme round would take too long to judge. It's a lot easier to go through memes than huge pages of text.

I will of course try my hand at meme's again. Can I resize and crop the pictures? I don't want to alter our artist (@yeszuzia's) work to much, but thought I would ask before altering any of them.

Awesome. :)I think that should be fine bashadow. I'm pretty sure when we bought the images, we bought the rights to use them. I don't think she will mind. Additionally.. Memes are sort of like.. A whole world within themselves. And by that I mean.. I've never heard of someone going to court over a meme, a single picture with which you add words to in order to create humor is as far as I know considered fair use under the law. IE you can take a picture off anywhere and put words to it and it becomes an original creation by you. So.. I wouldn't worry about it. BUT.. I could ask her if you'd like?
