MONOMAD - JULY 22nd WINNING PICKS & A SURPRISE!

IT IS WITH GREAT PLEASURE THAT I MAKE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT:

FROM TOMORROW ON @PHOTOMAG WILL START COOPERATING WITH @MONOCHROMES AND WILL SPONSOR THE PRIZES ON THE FIRST 3 PLACES FROM EACH #MONOMAD EDITION!

---------------

WHAT IS @PHOTOMAG?

• @Photomag is a new photography curation project and a Steemit based photo magazine, giving its first steps in the platform.
  For more information about the project, goals and how to get involved you can check these two posts: Post 1 and Post 2.
  
  

WHO IS BEHIND @PHOTOMAG?

• The man behind @photomag is @markangeltrueman. Curie WItness Operator, Curator and Photographer.
  
  

WHAT WILL CHANGE FOR THE #MONOMAD FIRST 3 PLACES?

• Lets just say you will start getting substantially bigger upvotes on your winning images than you're getting right now ;)
  (The winners of the JULY 20th edition already got a teaser of what's coming).

THAT'S IT. I HOPE YOU GUYS LIKED THE SURPRISE AND THAT THIS WILL MOTIVATE YOU EVEN MORE TO KEEP THAT CREATIVITY TICKING. CHEERS!

THERE ARE NO DAILY TOPICS OR ANY OTHER CREATIVITY LIMITATIONS. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS POST BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY AND USE THE #MONOMAD TAG. EASY AS THAT. UPVOTING THE #MONOMAD POSTS IS NOT MANDATORY BUT IT WILL BE DEEPLY APPRECIATED. IT WILL ALLOW US TO PROGRESSIVELY GROW THE ACCOUNT AND INCREASE THE REWARDS VALUE. IN CASE OF DOUBT I MIGHT USE THAT "EXCUSE" TO PICK THE WINNERS, OR NOT... IF YOU DON'T CARE WHY WOULD I CARE?
SUE ME!
I'M ALSO A VERY SENSITIVE PERSON, SO IF I SEE YOU USING THE SAME IMAGE TO ENTER MULTIPLE CONTESTS WITHOUT A CLEAR MENTION TO #MONOMAD I MIGHT "ACCIDENTALLY" MISS YOUR ENTRY.

LET THE REAL MADNESS BEGIN!

• The second and third places will receive a 50% upvote each.

Keep in mind that the more this account grows the bigger these prizes and upvotes will be!

• The winners will be announced in the next day. (the winners from Monday will be announced on Tuesday, the ones from Tuesday will be announced on Wednesday and so on...).

RULES :

• Upvote the #MonoMad post from the previous day (NOT MANDATORY, BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE SOME SUPPORT AND IT WILL DEFINITELY BE TAKEN IN CONSIDERATION!!).
• ALL ENTRIES MUST INCLUDE THE #MONOMAD TAG, OTHERWISE WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.
• The posts must be in Black and White or Monochrome tones.
• Colorsplash edits are allowed.
• Every picture must be your own and that will be checked, so don't even bother posting Google images. Stolen content will be immediately reported to @steemcleaners.

---

---

DELEGATIONS :

By delegating a small SP portion to the @monochromes account, anyone can help the Challenge and, at the same time, earn some extra votes when using the #monochromes tag.
How?There will be a limited number of slots available:

25SP slots - At current rate each one gets a 10% Upvote every 22 hours
50SP slots - At current rate each one gets a 20% Upvote every 22 hours
100SP slots - At current rate each one gets a 40% Upvote every 22 hours

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THE UPVOTE VALUES ARE TIGHTLY CONNECTED TO STEEM'S EXTERNAL MARKET PRICE, SO IT WILL FLUCTUATE ACCORDINGLY.

-------
HOW WILL YOU GET YOUR DELEGATION EXCLUSIVE UPVOTE?

• There's a hardworking little bot that will give you one upvote every 22 hours, on the posts with the #monochromes tag.

-------

YOU POSTED BEFORE THE 22 HOURS COOLDOWN AND THE BOT MISSED YOU?

• NO PROBELM! You can always edit and save that same post after the 22 hours period to "call" the bot and get the upvote that way.

---

---

TAGS

As you already noticed, there are two distinct tags to use in order to get rewards from this @monochromes account.

• In case you are NOT delegating and just entering the #monomad challenge, use ONLY the #monomad tag.
• If you are delegating AND entering #monomad, use both of them, #monomad AND #monochromes.

---

---

All the SBD generated will be used STRICTLY to grow the account by powering it up.
Regarding the delegations or any doubts contact me, @brumest, in Discord. Same username.
Cheers!
