So, I like to share the love and the STEEM and bless others around the community. Many of you already know that and most would not even claim to disagree. Multiple time, out of nowhere, I can be found contributing to prize payouts from other contests, or running one of my own.
Recently, I began the first contest in a series that I will call the "WILD & STRANGE CONTEST" from @papa-pepper, with round run being a photo contest, where the winner will get 50 STEEM.
The requirements were three:
Steem logo in picture.
Tree in photo.
Steemian in picture, but with face hidden (Anonymous).
Seems simple enough, right?
Sure, it's simple to get people to enter, but what then????
Seriously, how can I even begin to choose a winner?
This is why I always relied heavily on guest judges when I ran the Tattoo Story Contest. I hate having to choose a winner, so I'm asking for your help. Here are all the entries. Please reply below with the number of your favorite photo, and you can reply with more than one number if you are as bad at choosing one winner as I am. I'll take the comments into consideration when I made the final decision.
1 - @smysullivan
2 - @karenmckersie
3 - @elewarne
4 - @haphazard-hstead
5 - @countryinspired
6 - @daveks
7 - @rebeccaryan
8 - @ddschteinn
9 - @rigaronib
10 - @ballinconscious
12 - @kus-knee (The Old Dog)
13 - @timbo
(Check the reflection for the mask and the drone!)
If you missed round one, do not worry. Just keep an eye on @papa-pepper as this contest continues to progress, and you can enter the next round for your chance to win more STEEM!
Please help Papa by letting know which one of these 13 is your favorite!
IMPORTANT REMINDER: By entering you are giving me full permission to use your submission in whatever ways that I see fit.
Except for all the amazing entries,

Thank you for posting @papa-pepper.
What a difficult decision...
Really good thinking on the part of the contestants, always very inspiring in itself.......number one did seem to be the most humourous and perhaps fit best the intent of the contest to inspire humour. As @joanaltres said reminded one of Don Rickles.
Thank you for the opportunity to express thought.
