Dear Steemians,

By organizing this #contest I wanted to contribute to the further development & growth of the #Steemit community!

In the 21st week I will keep the prizes spread! So, there will be honorable mentions who will get 0,1 STEEM each!

There was only 1 entry in the last week. The post with the results & explanations can be seen on the following link: https://steemit.com/self-portrait/@careassaktart/self-portrait-photo-contest-results-20th-week

INSTRUCTIONS:

Be creative & make self-portraits not in that common way as the trendy "selfies" but in a high quality way partly describing yourself & your way of life. Every each of us has many different roles to play in life: worker, sportsman, soldier, writer, driver, lover, husband, father, wife, mother, artist, model, waitress, lawyer, dancer, actress, scientist, doctor, singer, musician, politician, manager, nurse, porn star, prostitute, gigolo, pimp... or some kind of an imaginary character - somebody who you would like to be... There is plenty of inspiration for the theme!

Nudes are also very appreciated & welcomed as well as the conceptual & art #photography.

#Photos can be full color, b&w & #monochrome tones.

How to apply for the #contest:

1. Use a #self-portrait tag as one of your tags in the post.
2. Clearly mention the #self-portrait photo contest in your post title or post body & tag me in your post - @careassaktart (As this will help to grow this contest). For example: "This is my entry for the #self-portrait photo contest by @careassaktart"
3. Ad a short story / explanation / description to the photo.
4. Your #self-portraits must be your original work as well as the text following! Stolen content will be immediately reported to @steemcleaners.
5. Post a link to your entry in the comment below this post.
6. Please write in English.

Deadline: Wednesday, 25th of September 2019, 9:00 AM Central European Standard Time zone in Zagreb (GMT+1)

Example:

Blood Is Thicker Than Water

It was my mothers birthday & we celebrated it in the tavern "Tarsa", a place which is known by the meat dishes & as I do not eat meat, I was making a bit of troubles to the waiter while ordering food with my special wishes. It was funny to me, but not also to my mother & to the waiter but I tried to make it even funnier so I was joking all the time & even my smile on this photo is a bit over-exaggerated but the smiles on my mother's & sister's faces were real! & that makes me glad cause we didn't stay stiff but we really did celebrated!
From where this red comes from? To shoot this one I used a red tissue which I rapped around the built-in flash so I got this diabolic effect. But it seems it creates a perfect ambiance to the photo describing a meat restaurant which is known by the bloody delicacies made from parts of bodies of animals & its glory is achieved by the other beings' death & even more important - "blood is thicker than water" - & this is my family.
The photo was made with Canon 60D & Canon 10-22 mm lens from my hand.

All the prizes I’m sharing from my own pocket for all the rounds so far.

It would be very nice to have a #sponsor who would #delegate some SP so that this #contest can develop further more & that the prizes can be bigger...

By #delegating SP to me for the purpose of this #contest, you become a #sponsor / supporter & you will be mentioned in every next #self-portrait connected post of mine!

How can I get sponsors?

I'm looking forward to see your entries!

No Upvote, No Resteem, No Follow required. Of course, all the help and support you give is greatly appreciated and absolutely voluntary.

Thanks!
