Firstly I would like to thank everyone who took part in this contest for their submissions. The theme was “Doors” and the response to the contest was fantastic.
So many amazing photos were entered, making it very difficult to select a winner and runner-up. So, with it being a celebratory time of year, I decided to split up the money amongst 1 overall winner and 7 finalists.

The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live.

@rimicane
Door from the Tallinn, Estonia

The Door to the West

White melody

Gates of Roman Well, Belgrade Fortress, Serbia

Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis

Conex doors

Entrance to the church
The overall winner will receive 1.000 steem
and the balance will be distributed equally among the finalists.
Thank you once again to all participants for making this contest a success. Later today I will be announcing the theme for Week 3. If you have suggestions which are a little “out of the box” for different themes you would like to see in this contest please leave them in the comments section below.
I would also like to extend my gratitude to @juliank for sponsoring this contest and making it all possible.
CONGRATS TO THE WINNER AND ALL FINALISTS
AND HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL FOR OUR NEXT CONTEST

Great pictures & thanks @claudiaz and @juliank!
The nicest contract I ever did, was to shoot the numbers from 1-50, no matter how.
So maybe simply a number as theme? 23? 42?
