THE DAILY STEEMIT SELFIE CHALLENGE - DAY 2 - 75 SBD PRIZE POOL AND GROWING

in contest •  7 years ago  (edited)

It is now Day 2 of the Daily Steemit Selfie Challenge!


Our registered players are competing against each other in an elimination endurance contest where their selfies must be posted on a daily basis and must meet the theme qualifications. Not only must they post their qualifying selfies prior to the deadline to avoid elimination, they are also competing against one another for bonus points. In each round, I will reward at least two selfies with bonus points.

BONUS POINTS FOR DAY 1

On Day 1, the players had to take a selfie with a plant. A lot of the entries were great, but a few stuck out from the rest. I have awarded the following photos each 1 Bonus Point, which will be converted to SBD and paid out later on in the contest. As always, have fun and get creative, but above all, be safe!

@trevor.george

THE ELIMINATED

As always, this is to the best of my knowledge. If you believe that you replied to the Day 1 post with a qualifying entry prior to 11 am (CST) today, then let me know. Perhaps I did miss something. As far as I know, though, these players have been eliminated. It looks like we have lost 12 already.

DAY 2 : ANIMAL

For Round 2, all you have to do is take a selfie with a live animal in the photo. Reply to this post with your qualifying selfie by 11:15 am (CST) to avoid elimination. As always, no entry post is required, but you are free to make a post featuring your entry if you want to. By entering this contest you are giving me full permission to use your entries in future contest posts. Thanks and have fun!

PRIZE POOL

The current prize pool is 75 SBD, not including Bonus Points. It will continue to grow on a daily basis! That means that the longer you hang in there, the larger it gets!

Until next time…

Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com

What do you guys think he will ask us to do a selfie with next? i have been thinking maybe a waterfall, a particular number of people, in the rain, in the mall, ... what's next papa-pepper? i'm excited

Let's just say that things are about to heat up in this competition.

Ohhhhh

OMGness now i'm both nervous and excited. Can't wait to see whats next.

Now i know what that meant...

though I have been evicted but I still check this contest from time to time cos I enjoy it. Light it up a little bit papa-pepper. Let there be fun

Me and Steve. He's really amped-up over the rope and tire that we're using for fetch!

I love Switzerland and the tinkling of the cow bells!

its a relaxing background sound now, it wasnt in the beginning

I suppose we learn to tune out the familiar over time.

that might be true... but thats nice about going away, you get to come back and see everything with new eyes...

That's true. I appreciate Scotland a lot more now when I return to visit! :-)

How picturesque, I bet the milk is delicious

some of the farmers have milk taps where you can go get buy the milk straight from the producer. Sadly the GF is lactose intolerant so we never have their milk

Bummer. I know how that goes, I've been lactose intolerant from birth. But, oddly enough I can stomach a small amount of fresh, unpasteurized milk.

The best

thanks

Lovely place!

yea, not far from my house, took it just after work now...
thousands of cows in the area and I reeally love their coloring

Beautiful.

thanks

wow, I wish that someday I have a farm like that.

I do not think I would be a good farmer but I might make a decent homesteader...
hopefully one day

I am currently in New York city, in an office. So live animals are not easy to find.

Fortunately, someone in the office has a fish. It is on the left, just below the water surface.

selfie_2017_10_10.png

truely not the animal kingdom (your office I mean), hopefully the next one will be easier for you... (and from looking at that picture, maybe they should check if the fish is still alive)

I did check. And I saw it moving, so I was sure he was alive. (;-)

Glad you found something. What did the person think about you taking a selfie with the fish???

I told her that I needed a selfie with a living animal, and she was OK with it.

We are pretty relax in this company.

I thought you maybe all had a bit of a laugh about it. :-)

Love the creativity :)

Way to be creative, nice Beta

This is our mean look....and our skid steer. Don't act like that isn't a scary dog....he'll totally nip your heels.

Thats a really pretty dog

Thank you

YOu look a bit like jennifer lopez to me girl ;)

your cat looks like it is ready to pounce.

Indeed,but they are friends my cat want to play sometime he just touch my hamster..but my hamster will get angry..😊😊

Thats so cute. they are cute, especially the cat

Thanks @leggy23 but still scared if they are playing too much so limit their time on playing and they can only play with me,cause we don't know what's on cats mind...😊😊

I guess the cat is just waiting for the right time to post the bone of the hamster in its mouth on steemit

NEVER underestimate the potential of that cat.

the cat is only pretending

i hope they are friends! :-)

They are sir...

Holy cow! This is so cute. However... that kitty DOES look like he's looking at the little guy nefariously... 😲

hahaha...indeed,i was calling my kitty to take a look what i bring to take a good shot..hehehe

thanks @carrieallen

Hahaha...
What a friendship.
The way ur cat is staring at the hamster though...
I dont trust that look...
Lol...

yes indeed..even they are friend i still watch them playing,cause i don't know what's on cat mind..😁😁

🎶Na na na na na na na na DAY TWO!🎶

(Like Batman)
Image only scaled down for politeness. 😍

It's me and Banquo!

Props to who can tell me where his name comes from! Props are not a cryptocurrency. They are worth only points on your self-esteem. I'll probably include a cool pic and emojis too. 😘
selfie contest day 2.jpg
I had to trick him. None of the four-leggeds are much for picture taking. It's like I'm trying to steal their soul. ... I wonder if they know something we don't.😲

IMG_20171011_080255.jpg

The little guy tried to run away but I caught him in motion. Hahaha...

Thank you @papa-pepper for this contest

Good luck everyone

nice t-shirt

Local Birds will always show their trait. U must be so lucky to have gotten that picture. Hope it won't be ur steemit shirt the bird will steal next time

I was gonna do a photo with the gator, but I had to clean the gila monster tank! Couldn't resist a selfie with one of my favorites!

Great beard my friend!

Thats a big fellow there (the reptile I'm talking about now)!

Thank you!

Yup, he's a favorite around here!

There is no way i can compete with that...
Wow!!!?

I can't just close my mouth seeing something like this. I guess this is the next stage papa-pepper is taking this contest to. Well others shouldn't get scared though, just kidding

Mitsy the cat who thinks she's a pirates parrot.

Fantastic!!!!

Lovely cat. looking so curious.

Aww so cute!

I think cats really love selfie

Taking a moment to pray with a friend!

It seems like the praying mantis was kind of hard to get a clear shot of, but the silhouette makes a good contrast.

Nice work Fishy! Beautiful shot with the dry grass background creating an incredible contrast letting us see the features really well!

Thank you! He was a great model! Landed on the back of my shoulder, so I kept tugging my shirt around with one hand, snapping pics with the other, hoping one would turn out!

Wow! Good strategy. This photo makes it look planned ;p

i'm so scared of praying mantis are they poisonous?

Oh, not at all! They are an awesome insect! Around here they EAT the poisonous ones!

Now i feel bad that i have been so scared of them for so long and killed them every chance i got.

They are freaky looking, I understand that!

Absolutely beautiful

Thank you.

Contrary to popular belief, Sherlock is alive.

I love this!

Thanks! And congrats on your pic getting picked for bonus points!

Thanks, it really surprised me and made my day! I can't be so lucky twice in a row. There's a lot of tough competition out there to get through. And as much as I love my puppy, I think yours beats mine on the cute factor. And lets not compare your looks to mine, okay? Lets just not go there. I might be a big, rough and tough guy but I have feelings too lol! 😂
I should have put my mask back on sure enough lol. Seriously though, good luck tomorrow! I've followed your blog, I look forward to more puppy and beach pictures!

Thanks for the kind words! Good luck to you as well!!

IMG_0123.jpeg

This was tricky not having a pet so I went walking around the city walked about 2 miles and tried to get shots with dogs but they and the owners walked on by, eventually got these rats of the sky AKA Pigeons in the background with Bahbahra in the foreground so I think this may qualify to keep me here for another day

I got to take a bike ride with my wife today searching for the coolest living creatures we could find! It was several blocks before it wasn't 'stray cat' or 'pooping dog'

Will have to check what you found

Funnily enough the next best option was a pooping dog lol

You did well!!

Thanks Kindly :)

I took a walk too to make the challenge a bit more interesting! Glad to see that Bahbahra went with you!

I am going to try and Have Bahbahra the main focus of y selfies so its more a Bahbahra selfie than me LOL

Too funny!

thats me LOL

just get Bahbahra its own steemit account: The life and struggles off...

Maybe I struggle to keep up with just one account lol

Awesome! you did great.

LOL thanks I dont like i myself my nose want meant to be in shot, but the rule is no editing so I couldn't crop it lOL

Haha yup I hear ya 😀

lets see what tomorrow brings :)

LOL! Sky rats! 😍

😎👍😎
Not sure where I picked that up from but it’s what I always call them

haha nice! So that means I can take one with a bird too. Don't have pets and nor do I like animals so this one is going to be tricky for me but I'm definitely going to try.

Good luck this was a tricky one for me also without a pet
But go for it you can do it 👍😎

Yes, I did it. Posted mine with a donkey an hour back.

OHh I must go look for it :)

Here's my selfie with a live animal.

P_20171011_175041_BF.jpg

Please note that is is not one of the giant carnivorous snails found in New Zealand. It's just a regular garden snail. Hence I'm still alive and kicking ;-)

LOL Classic.

Taken... I have your animal...
01.jpg
I mean for the photo of course! : )

@otage, I have a very particular set of skills.....

Oh sh-t your back!!

You look like a dognapper!

yeah, the dog looks kinda scared and confused at the same time...

haha :)

She looks scared to death! LOL!

She doesn't like me. So she purposefully looked away from the camera to ruin the photo.

Bwhahahaha! I feel that. 🙃

Poor little soul!

This priceless!

I guess the dog is scared to death cos u dognapped it

This is priceless!

I don't any exotic animals around me and couldn't even find a squirrel today for the life of me. So, what better companion than my dog, who clearly was focused on something else haha.
FullSizeRender 11.jpg

even if the dog was looking elsewhere it still makes for a great selfie :)

😀 thank you.

Awwwww

Aww so cayoottt <3

Here is me and my baby boy, Colt! He is a 110 pound Rottweiler that was born in 2009 on the military base Fort Bragg in North Carolina. He was given to me as a Christmas present from my squad while I was a patrol sergeant for my local sheriff's department. My previous Rottweiler had passed away that previous summer, so my squad thought it would be a good gesture to get me this new puppy to help move forward. I wasn't ready for this spawn of satan at first but he has grown to be my best friend as well as a family member! I love him very much and actually wrote a blog about him when I first joined steemit. Anyways, I will post two pictures. One photo is where he is at full attention and ready for a command and the the next one is a blooper where he was trying to give me a bath and knocked my glasses off.

And here's where he tried to clean my glasses and give me a bath.

The green paper reads "Bluelightbandit 10-10-2017 steemit Papa-Pepper Challenge with surprise guest...My Rottweiler, Colt! My Baby Boy!

BRAGG!!! Does he put his knees to the breeze too?

LOL

Only when ordered to!

AIRBORNE

Thank you for your service!

Back at ya brother...all one team.

IMG_20170915_150007.jpg

She was saying, "Why did you wake me up for this nonsense!"

Awww, she looks like a very empathetic companion! Those eyes!

She is! She is a good hunter as well.

Hope the dog won't bite u

PUPPY SELFIE!!
Max and I the day I got him.

Lol! I don't know if he is amused. Bwhahaha!

Hahaha! I don’t think she enjoyed it as much as I did. I woke her from a nap, made her love me, and wear a hat.

Cool hats! This is a winner (will probably earn a bonus point).
[UPDATED] Yes! You DID win a bonus point! Congratulations!

Thanks! And you were right! It did! :)

Havin' a tune with some seabirds on the coast of Newfoundland - shhhhhhh

Well done my friend! I'll be looking for you daily ;p

Thanks @ecoinstant. I will try my best to keep up :) I appreciate the support

Wasn't sure if you could see the parrot in the upper balcony, so horse is my top pick!

¡Hasta que por fin! Tuve que conquistarlo por mucho rato.

Nice. Are you on steemit.chat

Yes i am, but i feel like its so crowded most of the time its hard to engage with people.

Sorry about that. But if you feel the same i will like to connect with yhu

Sure if we are online at the same time i wont mind chatting.

Ok

Here you go, Daddio!
Upon my request, Captain Jack Sparrow decided that selfies are simply undignified, and would not engage. He also posed the question: "Why is the rum always gone?"

Too bad the dogs are so poorly behaved, cuz they are kinda cute.

I feel you. 😉

The streets of Daejeon were bereft of animals, so I had to go into the local department store, where they sell these...

Had to run out of the house and look for a duck or swan in the river for this one 😂 Luckily a swan showed up!

As always, thanks papa-pepper 😊

My entry for day 2. Me and our kitten that we rescued. Now a big part of the family.

Holaaaa @papa-pepper, no sabía cuál animal elegir pues tengo casi un zoológico en casa, pero me quedo con lunita mi gata que fue la primera que salió a saludarme.

20171010_173603.jpg

And so the time has come to post! It would have been easy to grab a cat for the shot, but decided to take a walk in Bird Island Park this afternoon to see what I could come up with. Not a single bird was in sight, but behind me you can see 5 turtles - the one in the upper right is a snapping turtle! There were 15 turtles in all hanging out there!
IMG_4733.jpg

Such a cool shot for this :)

Keeps me in for another round. Let's see what tomorrow brings!

Yes I dont think any of the challenges will be simple :)

Me and Mika...puppies are bitey!

Omg! A Sheppy puppy!!!

Whiskers was originally named Scion, after the car he was found in. @xtrodinarypilot was out on a rainy day and Whiskers jumped under the hood and rode the 40 miles home under there. Miraculously, he made it alive, only a burnt nose to show for the journey. He is thr family cat but this little bugger bothers me on the toilet, while I am cooking and sleeps on my feet. And he gives me kisses. 😻

he's one lucky kitty!

Awwwww

20171010_204450.jpg

Well JOY decide to model for this selfie ;)


Mars, one of our three rescue cats, was first discovered in a very odd place, stuck on the awning of a window at the top of an apartment building after meowing plaintively for three nights and days. Nobody could figure out where that sad sound was coming from or how he got there. Thankfully, at four months of age, Mars received prompt veterinary care and became one of our three feline companions.

The first six months were the most difficult: he was intensely fearful, and only ventured out to eat and do his business when the other cats were sleeping. The rest of the time was spent hiding under our bed. The animal shelter originally called him Jinmi (Golden Kitty in Chinese), but he was rechristened Mars because of his supposed resemblance to an alien (he goes crazy from time to time, racing back and forth in the apartment while meowing).


5-month-old Mars (notice the nose injury. Mars is also missing teeth, so he can't eat crunchy fish like the other cats.

Mars shows an intense love for me, and frequently seeks me out for a soothing massage or a pat on his rump. I have even caught him from time to time spaced out in the clothes hamper inhaling the powerful underarm BO emanating from my dirty underwear: he is literally drooling, with glazed eyes as if on a drug high. Thus, after stressful visits to the vet, I sometimes use an old T-shirt as a comfort blanket.

Man, with two minutes to spare!

Yeah, I got home later than I imagined. There wasn't much time left to take a usable selfie, pare down the file size, write/edit/proofread a pleasing text and obtain photo links (postimg.org was experiencing difficulties, so I had to go to another site). To top it off, I had momentary trouble with the login process, and the contest page itself took a bit of time to load. It was only Day 2, but I almost didn't make it! Extremely stressful!

Here's mine Papa P ... met my little cat Chloe.

No animals around in my corporate city, stray dogs are also hard to find, visited delhi zoo with my bf specially (he didnt want to)😂😂, haha. This contest gave me a chance to fulfill my zoo visitng wish.

Yay! The most unusual (and largest) animals in this contest. It's too bad they're camera shy.

Hehe true, the only animal without a cage in the zoo and the closest i could go, still they were busy eating, looks like a couple :D probably

And here we are!

Nice photo my friend, but for this contest only those already playing will be participating. Feel free to join in next time though.

Well since I have no pets: fruit fly trap and human! 😉 C360_2017_10_10_11_40_15_205

I'm going to need a live non-human animal...

Sorry for the misunderstanding. They are alive in there. IMG_20171011_015859

If you zoom in you can see them. Only live things I could easily get my hands on without driving somewhere.

It's ok, I have to go out in the morning anyway, I'll go get a picture of me with my mother in law's mean cat. 😂

Got it!

You may want to try another photo just in case. I think the selfie requires that you are holding the camera. I may be wrong but wouldn't want to see you eliminated on a technicality... cute kitty!

Technically, a "selfie" is a photo that you take yourself. Please try again.

Wow, it's so interesting and fun)

Oh my gosh, what happened to my plant selfie from day 1?

Steemit ate that too?? That's two now in just a small amount of time :(

Oh I don't know? Note sure what you mean @arbitrarykitten? Cheer$:)

I was thinking papa-pepper would ask for wild selfie this time like he did with scorpion on his tongue cos I have just one life. Lol. This is cool. Doing it now...

Can we enter more than 1 photo? I have several animals to choose from.

Sure.

Sad I missed this contest :(
I am really enjoying all the photos though, keep up the good work participants! It's kinda starting to feel like The Hunger Games.

Maybe next time!

IMG_20171011_021753.jpg

Hmmmmm... Yummy

Needs to be a live animal to qualify.

Sorry Papa, I've changed with other Selvie ... Incidentally when I post the image in Indonesia is already midnight, so it is very difficult to find for animals ..

I will compete next time for sure :D
