Self-Portrait Photography Contest - 1st Week

careassaktart (62) in contest • 6 years ago

Dear Steemians,

I'm an active participant of our wonderful Steemit community for more than a year now & still didn't encounter neither a single self-portrait photo contest! I am very familiar with the thing that the photographers, as being one myself for more than 15 years, are not really happy with being on the other side of the camera - playing the role of a model! It's not a general thing, but many of us do have a problem with being a model & confronting with the camera...

So, I decided to create a contest in which you will need to 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, artist, model, waitress, lawyer, dancer, actress, scientist, doctor, singer, musician... 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.

Photo can be full color, b&w & monochrome tones.

This is the first week & I hope that it will last for many weeks in the future!

How to apply for the contest:

Create a high quality shot of yourself - a self-portrait which presents you & your way of life or what you would like to be.
Ad a short story / explanation / description to the photo.
Photos must be your original work as well as the text following!
Use a #self-portrait tag as one of your tags in the post.
Post a link to your entry in the comment below this post.
Upvote & resteem this post & follow me.
Write in English.

Deadline: Tuesday, 26th of March 2019, 02:00 AM Central European Standard Time zone in Zagreb (GMT+1)

Prizes

🥇 First place: 2 STEEM, a 100% upvote and a resteem by me
🥈 Second place: 1 STEEM and a 50% upvote by me
🥉 Third place: 0,5 STEEM and a 25% upvote

Example:

Balkañero

Balkañero is a self-portrait inspired by the Balkan lifestyle. It is an exaggeration & a way of expressing myself as an artist by provocative criticism.

By delegating SP to me for the purpose of this contest, you become a sponsor / supporter & you increase my voting power & so the upvotes given to the winners.

I'm looking forward to see your entries!

Thanks!

There have been several self-portrait contests by @battleaxe, plus an ongoing contest each week with every episode of the P&B Chit-Chat Show where people are encouraged to take a "mug shot" with a favorite beverage mug. The P&B show offers a 2 STEEM prize each week to their favorite contestant.

However, your idea might, indeed, be the very first to ask for a "high quality shot" of the contestants on the Steem blockchain! Bravo for this twist! Your example shot is fascinating and incredibly creative, so many kudos for that! I will help spread the word in Discord. I hope you get many participants! 😃

Upload whatever you think suits the theme the best way. The age of the photo is not important.

Just take care of following the contest rules, please. ☺

Your self-portrait spiced with your cat all in high quality is probably acceptable. Try me! 😉
