Your entries need to be submitted by the midnight of Central European Time in order to be considered for the challenge with a description of approximately 30 to 50 words. Please make sure to add a proper description to your entry as this was the reason on few occasions when I could not pick the best image as it had a very poor description. Only one picture to be submitted for a daily photo challenge. The rule number one is to use only personal images. Ten winning photos will receive an upvote from me from which I will pick one winner that will receive extended publicity in my post tomorrow morning. I will also visit his/her blog to upvote one of the most recent posts.

The winner of a daily challenge then competes against winners from other continental challenges of the respective week to receive the price of 15 SBD. That will be decided by you based on the dollar value of upvotes of my winning post announcement. The winning weekly picture then automatically enters other rounds for the price of 150 SBD in total.

Please see the winner of Asian Sunday, Australian Monday, Tuesday of Antarctica and world's oceans, African Wednesday, European Thursday and North American Friday to give them your support if you like their image to be the one winning the weekly price and entering the other stages of the 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge. You can vote for them by upvoting their winner announcement posts below:

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Asian Sunday week #13 - winner announcement!

@schmidthappens Asian Sunday entry:

Many weeks in the Sunday Asian contest, I see photos from Hong Kong so today I decided to submit my own. It really is such a photogenic city. And if you haven't been, the best place to go at night for an incredible view of the city is Victoria Peak. It's definitely busy and filled with other people trying to take photos, but it's totally worth the effort to get a shot like this.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #13 – winner announcement!

@nikonmarshall Australian Monday entry:

Please consider my photo of the perfect storm that passed over Sydney Harbour Bridge last Thursday night, the atmosphere it created was incredible and this shot was taken after the third time I had convinced myself to leave! Great competition @czechglobalhosts thank you for your consideration.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Tuesday of Antarctica and the world’s oceans week #13 – winner announcement!

@axeman Tuesday of Antarctica and world's oceans entry:

So lets continue the ICE AGE theme. Another shot from the frozen coastline at Baltic sea near Klaipeda, Lithuania. This shot is taken early in the cold winter morning (after certain period of very negative temperature, when even seacoast starts to get frozen) Lower point of view (if remember right even without i tripod, camera was just laying on the ground, as well as me... actually) makes this piece of ice really stand out.

Enjoy the scenery!

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #13 – winner announcement!

@extremejogging African Wednesday entry:

Some people think Africa is flat with a single big mountain called Kilimanjaro. I can assure you that is not true. Here in South Africa we have magnificent mountains and if you run/hike on them at the right time, you'll find a piece of heaven on earth!

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – European Thursday week #13 – winner announcement!

@crazy-daisy European Thursday entry:

In Austria there are a lot of lakes surrounded by mountains and forests. So it is paradise for those who like hills and skiing. This is one of them - amazing Attersee. The picture was shot a few years ago.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – North American Friday week #13 – winner announcement!

@lename North American Friday entry:

On Top of the World - One World Trade Centre

It's a very unique feeling standing on top of Manhattan, 102 floors up, in the tallest building in the Western hemisphere and sixth tallest in the world! You get the feeling that everything is possible... it's New York!

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to travel to Costa Rica to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was my first visit and I completely loved it. We stayed at Villas Hermosas, a small villa on the west coast in Puntarenas. This is the beach directly in front of the villa.

There you go Matt! I was pretty sure you would have some cool photos from Costa Rica like this one, even though you said you mostly took shots at the party :) Stunning landscape!

Thank you! I like your Costa Rica picture better. :) And congrats on the color feature. I looked at Google photos of indigo. Yours was a textbook example of it!

Hahaha, I still feel so uneducated in this whole colors thing :D But I think it was your comment under that photo of mine that helped Tomas decide to go for it in the challenge. So thank you so much! :)

Angel Falls is located in Canaima National Park in Venezuela, it is the highest waterfall in the world, with water falling 807m, then another 172m to the bottom. It is a spectacular place to visit with mind blowing scenery.

Awesome, this is close to the top of my bucket list... with the rest of South America. ;)

View of the Caribbean Sea right after the entrance to the Cahuita National Park, Costa Rica. The park is small (you can walk it back and forth in a few hours) but the variety of wildlife you will encounter on the trail is just astonishing. We saw monkeys, sloths, toucans, raccoons and much more. Highly recommended :) Photo taken in September 2017.

Photo taken at Canaima National Park, at the Venezuelan Amazonia.
These boats are the usual way of transport here. The name of this river is Carrao River. At the background you can see too pleteaux, these types of hills and mountains are characteristic of this part of the country.

FB_IMG_1460407192064.jpg The largest Salt flat! Salar the uyuni in Bolivia. We were driving jeeps through this salt flat. It's very beautiful landscape. It is more than 4,000 square miles large. One of those spectacular gifts of nature.

I took this photo in Dominican Rep. 2 years ago in Xmas time. When we visited this beautiful country we made a trip to tropical Isla Saona. It´s a government protected nature reserve with beautiful fauna and flora. Also its a very popular destination for tourists so sometime its little bit crowded.

Good morning sir.
This photograph is of a view where the central and eastern mountain range converge, in the background the magdalena river, located in the Department of Huila, south of Colombia.
Happy day.

In Buenos Aires, Argentina, there is a business area as well as in every other city. At the moment I was there a lot of buildings were under construction, so I believe now it looks differently. This disctrict is situated on the sea side, so it was clearly visible from the ship.

I took this photo while hiking the Quilatoa Loop outside of Latacunga, Ecuador. We were just getting ready to head out from Lulu Llama Hostel when I decided to snap a pic of the hostel dog, it was the best pic of the hike.

I am sorry to say but neither you have qualified for the continent or the length of your post which is set to be 30 to 50 words.

Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia is the world's largest salt flat and has been one of my favorite places in South America. The landscape is just out of this world!

Unearthly view!

Thank you! And congratulations to being featured in the color challenge today, as I commented before, you have some great photos from Cuba!

Thank you Julian :) I am sure your purple/indigo shots will be featured there too, I saw some of your submissions, they look amazing ;)

Epic photo... well done. ;)

Thanks!

Great pic but please you need to fulfill the requirements of wording 30 to 50 characters. I do overlook when it`s over 50 sometimes but let's keep the minimum at least. Thank you for your understanding and have a great day. Tomas

Hey @czechglobalhosts, how is exactly 30 words (feel free to count!) not enough when you require "approximately 30 to 50 words"? Although you have been greatly supporting me in the past I am feeling disappointed that you didn't even consider this photo since it's one of my all-time favorites and the description was exactly 30 words.

An alternative view of Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. You can feel the history up on this old train, and the view was amazing.

I am sorry to say but neither you have qualified for the continent or the length of your post which is set to be 30 to 50 words.

Photo of a family trip i made last year to San Andres Islands, Republic of Colombia. Here is a view of one of the Decameron Aquarium. Thanks.

Thank you for your submission but your post is short of words that are set at the amount of 30 to 50 words. Have a great day. Tomas

Interesting monument in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I loved this shot because it had the letters BA in it along with the monument. While traveling through Argentina, I was shocked at the size and this city having no idea it was this large. For those out there wondering, yes the BBQ was amazing.
