Our players are registered and the fun has begun!
This is an elimination game where only those who already registered and signed up can participate. Each day there will be an official contest post made from the @papa-pepper account, and the registered players will have 24 hours to take a qualifying selfie. Failing to reply to the contest post with a qualifying selfie within the time allowed will cause the players to be eliminated.
Once all players have been eliminated except for one, the last remaining player will receive 75% of the prize pool while those eliminated last will receive 25% of the same. Also, two outstanding selfies will be picked each round to receive bonus points. The bonus points will be paid out in SBD as well, so get creative, but keep it safe.
As always, @papa-pepper prefers his contests to be G-rated and family friendly, so keep things modest. Thanks.
DAY 1 : PLANT
For our first round, players will have 24 hours to take a selfie with a plant in the photo. As long as the plant is alive, it counts. Remember that you are competing with the other entries for bonus points, so feel free to get creative. Also, please do not edit your photos, just enter the selfies as they were taken. You have until 11:00 am CST tomorrow to reply with your qualifying selfie. Here is my example.
Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com

Yes, the photos can go in the comment box. @papa-pepper says a separate post is also possible, but it looks nicer if we can see all the photos together (as long as they are optimized for size).

For my entry I went on a trip to the Botanical Garden, University of Ibadan Nigeria. I was using a selfie stick and one of those trees behind me is 'Igi Aye'.
'Igi Aye' is the tree of life or the magical tree of life and wealth. You can read more about my trip and 'Igi Aye' in this post.

Discord is just a chat server with several more options. They JUST launched the voice option. I think up to 10 people can actually chat at a time. I haven't used it yet. You can also set up individual channels within server pages, which is REALLY nice for organizing.
There are TONS of Steemit Users. TONS. I know people are active in all places all the time. LOL! Maximum exposure. 😉

Inspired by Papa Pepper's sponsorship, I decided to take a pepper-themed selfie: Mama Pepper (orange, short and squat), Papa Pepper (green, tall and thin ;-) and lots of cute Baby Peppers!
Lettering
It took me a while to properly letter the tags: I used French cursive script, but I couldn't find the right pen for calligraphic strokes, so I did a rough job darkening the strokes by hand.
Staging
I then spent more time to prop up the three cards. I experimented with various devices to hold them in place (including magnets and a reading stand) and finally decided to use my laptop to position and hold things in place.
File Size
The file size was a bit too large, so I used Optimizilla.com to reduce my photo by 58%: 593.5 kB squeezed down to 255.7 kB.
Last Two Steps:
I uploaded my photo to Postimg.org and pasted the link into this document that I composed on my laptop.
I have documented all of my steps to provide guidance for any newbies who are a bit unsure what they should be doing.
I still remember 30+ years ago, when I was a newbie:
(1) afraid to appear stupid by doing the wrong thing (some experts love to sneer and laugh at your mistakes)
(2) afraid of damaging the computer by doing the wrong thing (in retrospect, that was quite foolish: it takes years of study to do serious damage)

Oddly I was raised on lamb due to allergies, but now it is one of my favorite meats ever. Many adults can't handle the foods they had on the restrictive diets from childhood, but I persevered and came to love it. My FAVORITE, most delicious of meats is the Alpaca followed closely by the Llama.

They're kind of hard to take care of, aren't they? Yours looks pretty healthy: hope it stays that way!

I think the tropical and fancy species can be (hence why there are so many carnivorous plant enthusiasts) but I wanted a beginner plant and got a species native to my state, VA. All it needs is just a bowl of water and full sun and it's a pretty minimal level of care! I'm hoping to add it to one of my terrariums soon (either with my frogs or one of my snakes)!

The Bluelightbandit has struck again! Muhaha!
This is me crouched behind my wife's fern with my Glock 21, fitted with a Surefire X300 and a green piece of construction paper sticking out of the barrel that reads: Steemit Blue Light Bandit Papa Pepper Challenge 10-09-2017
This is a fun contest, I'm enjoying looking at everyone's pictures! I promise I'm not a terrorist no matter how my photo looks lol, I'm actually retired law enforcement, I promise.

Out of courtesy, before uploading, please let's all reduce the size of our photos (cell phone cameras can take very high quality pictures: a single photo can take up several megabytes).
Rationale
(1) Some of us live in places where Internet usage is strictly rationed. If you exceed your limit, you need to pay a substantial extra fee
(2) Some people have very slow connections. If a page contains many large photos (such as this selfie contest), it will load very slowly:.
Here are two free online tools that can help reduce your photo sizes:
(A) https://compressor.io/compress gives you two ways to upload your photos: either drag and drop or select file. If you are uploading a photo, please don't choose the lossless option: the amount of reduction is very small.
(B) http://optimizilla.com lets you upload up to 20 files at a time, but it doesn't let you drag and drop. It does have an extra feature that some people might appreciate: you can choose between 15 different languages interfaces.

This is a good idea, I use paint, change size function and often lower it 33 percent (1/9th) or the original size with the front camera.
I try to keep mine under 750kb, what do you think is reasonable?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

750K is still rather large (sufficiently detailed for printing): 640x480 is often quite enough for display on the screen of a cellphone or a pad.
As an experiment, I went to Pixabay and downloaded the same picture of a fern in two different sizes:
640x480 = 93 Kb
[NOT DOWNLOADED]
1280x720 = 307 Kb
1920x1080 = 652 Kb
Apart from increased brightness and slightly more detail, I don't see any major difference in image quality. Do you?
The 652 Kb image (7 times larger) takes longer to upload and probably causes problems for all the people with limited bandwidth. 640x480 is good enough for most purposes (such as this contest).

Well researched! In fact, they look exactly the same on my phone!
I thought I was being smart dropping the pictures from 4mb to under 1, but let me play around with my next entry. It has to be a huge suck on data to open a thread with 97 photos.
Also, cms like wordpress do this automatically, saving several versions of the image an deciding which needs to be downloaded. Are we sure they are different download sizes? They are the same size for me, is my phone resizing them? This is just ignorance on my part.

I'm not sure why they look the same on your phone screen: probably because of the limited number of pixels. On my computer screen, the two photos on this post look slightly different (if you pay attention).

I was going to mention that one, but it requires "modern browsers with HTML5 & CSS3 support", something that not everybody has yet. From the description, tinyPNG seems to do an excellent job, even with JPEGs. Thanks!

Thanks for pointing this out!! I have no idea about the tech side of things - something I am slowly learning. but if you say to me HTML5&CSS3 support it sounds like lalalalala :) Tech is a foreign language I am slowly learning :)

I got this, it is fall but nothing is completely dead yet. Just in the process of turning colors. Glad you said a plant and not flowers cause most of the flowers around here are dormant ready for next spring. Will get my entry in, in just a little bit.
