Dear Steemians,

By organizing this #contest I wanted to contribute to the further development & growth of the #Steemit community!

In the 28th week I will keep the prizes spread but I will also raise them all a bit cause it's a Christmas so I hope that you'll gift me & the #Steemit community by some of yours best #self-portraits & I'll gift you with some #STEEM! So, besides the 1st, 2nd & the 3rd place, there will be honorable mentions who will get 0,2 STEEM each!

In the last round there was again only 1 entry but a very beautiful & touching one! It was applied again by @whimsical-magic.

The post with the results & explanations can be seen on the following link: https://steemit.com/contest/@careassaktart/self-portrait-photo-contest-results-27th-week

INSTRUCTIONS:

Be creative & make self-portraits not in that common way as the trendy "selfies" but in a high quality way partly describing yourself & your way of life. Every each of us has many different roles to play in life: worker, sportsman, soldier, writer, driver, lover, husband, father, wife, mother, artist, model, waitress, lawyer, dancer, actress, scientist, doctor, singer, musician, politician, manager, nurse, porn star, prostitute, gigolo, pimp... or some kind of an imaginary character - somebody who you would like to be... There is plenty of inspiration for the theme!

Nudes are also very appreciated & welcomed as well as the conceptual & art #photography.

#Photos can be full color, b&w & #monochrome tones.

How to apply for the #contest:

1. Use a #self-portrait tag as one of your tags in the post.
2. Clearly mention the #self-portrait photo contest in your post title or post body & tag me in your post - @careassaktart (As this will help to grow this contest). For example: "This is my entry for the #self-portrait photo contest by @careassaktart"
3. Ad a short story / explanation / description to the photo.
4. Your #self-portraits must be your original work as well as the text following! Stolen content will be immediately reported to @steemcleaners.
5. Post a link to your entry in the comment below this post.
6. Please write in English.

Deadline: Thursday, 26th of December 2019, 3:00 PM Central European Standard Time zone in Zagreb (GMT+1)

(This photo was made with Nikon D800 & Nikon AF Nikkor 35-70 mm 1:3.3-4.5 lens from the floor)

On this photo I was a really happy traveler while driving my Twingo from Genoa to Monaco along the coastline of Liguria. I set up the camera timer & ran to the point where I set the focus. I also took off my shoes to feel the Mediterranean sea for the first time in my life. It was a bit cold but the day was sunny & warm. The small island that you can see in the background is called Isola di Bergeggi. I'm actually doing a #multimedia #travel #project & would like to include more people in it so please take a look on it cause any kind of support & collaboration would be appreciated - follow the link: https://fundition.io/#!/@careassaktart/kv6b04cv6. Thanks!

All the prizes I’m sharing from my own pocket for all the rounds so far, including this one.

It would be very nice to have a #sponsor who would #delegate some SP so that this #contest can develop further more & that the prizes can be bigger...

By #delegating SP to me for the purpose of this #contest, you become a #sponsor / supporter & you will be mentioned in every next #self-portrait connected post of mine!

How can I get sponsors?

I'm looking forward to see your entries!

No Upvote, No Resteem, No Follow required. Of course, all the help and support you give is greatly appreciated and absolutely voluntary.

Thanks!
