Hello World!
This is the 17th Edition of the Photochain challenge TESTNET on Blurt. The Photochain Challenge is a blockchain-like photography contest. If you would like to know more about, read the Photochain TESTNET Edition ZERO on BLURT. There, I explained the functioning of the contest and how to join.
In this post, I'll announce the 2 (two) winners of the Edition number sixteen of the TESTNET contest. Within the next 72 hours, I'll reward both of them with 20 BLURT tokens - as previously explained - and will post in the comment section of the EDITION SIXTEEN the transactions links. Thanks to the sponsorship received by @nalexadre and @beblurt, I'll complete the transfer of the other part of the special prize.
And the Winner is...
The Edition number sixteen of the TESTNET phase counted 5 (five) valid participants.
The two Key-Subjects were:
Road and Dog.
These are the 2 (two) winners of the edition:
Winner 1
Arbalestarx7
with two dogs looking at the nearby road.
The personal subject is Car.
Winner 2
Khanarshiya
with a dog at rest under a tree.
The personal subject is Tree.
As previously promised, I chose two honorable mentions, which I'll award with 20 BLURT tokens each.
The first honorable mention is
by @madarchs
and the second honorable mention is
by @drlobes
Congratulations!
Thank you EVERYONE for participating in this week's contest!
@hangin @madarchs @khanarshiya @arbalestarx7 @drlobes
The PRIZE increases!
I received a total amount of 2000 BLURT tokens as a sponsorship prize, thanks to @nalexadre and @beblurt. During the next 5 editions almost, I'll distribute up to 100 BLURT tokens each week, adding them to the prize. So, I thought to add 15 BLURT to each winner, 20 BLURT each for two honorable mentions, and I will distribute 3 BLURT tokens to the first 10 participants of the edition (but I will exclude from this last participation prize the winners and the honorable mentions). I hope you like the way I chose.
Again, a big thank you to Nalexadre!
I explained in the TESTNET EDITION NUMBER ZERO Post that you can participate by submitting a photo in the comment section. First of all, you must be the author of the photo.
The photo must contain the two Key-Subjects - I will write below - and another key-subject of your choice (the subject must be contained in the photo). I also explained HERE how the key-subjects will change and the criteria with which I'll choose them. Below, I'll mention all the rules. If you have any doubt, follow the practical examples in the TESTNET ZERO EDITION and learn about the contest there. If you post on your blog, remember to use the #photochain tag.
STEPS and RULES: first part
1) SUBMIT IN THE COMMENT SECTION:
- The photo which contains the two Key-Subjects;
- A Comment with the two Key-Subjects + another subject of your choice but CONTAINED in the photo. (If you posted the image in your blog, you can post the link to that page, but you must add your photo in the comment section anyway);
2) ONLY IF YOU WANT: mention another person you think would like this challenge;
3) NO FOLLOW, UPVOTE, REBLURT REQUIRED;
4) WAIT FOR THE NEXT WEEK: time limit to join is to 3 hours before the edition post Payout; I'll announce the winners after that moment.
RULES: second part
You can join with 1 (one) photo only each edition.
The PHOTO MUST BE TAKEN BY YOU (any device, like professional camera, smartphone, and so on).
Key-subjects must consist of a single word; multiple words are allowed only if the combination indicates a well-defined object/subject (for example "street lamp").
The entry photos MUST CONTAIN the two key-subjects indicated in the launch of the edition.
The entry photos MUST CONTAIN the third key-subject indicated by the participant.
The third key-subject has to be different from the first two key-subjects.
The duration of the contest is: from the start announcement post to 3 (three) hours before the post payout time of that post.
I'll advance with the prize-sending 3 (three) days approx after the finish of the weekly edition. I'll write the transaction ID in the winners' announcements post.
Participation is open in Italian and English. Not having knowledge of different alphabets, I ask those who want to participate to first make a translation of the proposed key-subjects together with the photo.
NO PLAGIARISM!
No SPAM!
Basic editing is allowed.
Each color cover is allowed, including Black and White.
You mustn't use graphic design and/or add part of other image and/or use deep editing like Photoshop-guided rebuilding processes: this is a photography contest!
GIFs are allowed only 1) if the duration is less or equal to 10 seconds; and 2) if it represents a view of the same objects/subjects and not a rebuilt-video; and 3) if the key-subjects remain in the foreground for the whole duration of the GIF.
I ADVISE you about the photo you want to propose: there are some Law rules in each State, and I know that using photo of people or photographing private properties could get you into some troubles. Make sure you're not infringing on anyone's rights when you post your photos on the web.
Each Theme is allowed: no censorship except for extremely explicit content. The nsfw contents are allowed but, if I choose a nsfw photo as a winner, I will not insert it as an image in the official post (only as a mention or a link to the published post).
IMPORTANT: I invite the participants to use fairly large categories as subjects so as not to sabotage participation. You mustn't use proper names (of cities, places, mountains, species, etc).
Another example: don't use words like London, or Danube, or Mark, or Blue Crab; or don't use the snow bear subject, just animal or bear. Naturally, in case of equally deserving photos, I will consider a photo of an animal that isn't often photographed in a more relevant way than a simple domestic cat.
The more general the category of the meaning of the word used as a subject is, greater the participation in the competition will be, greater the prizes and the fun will be in the future.
Are you Ready?
START!

And we arrived to the seventeenth edition of the contest. I am grateful for your presence, and I wish you a happy beginning if you celebrates in these days the arriving of the new year. A good set of photos also this week, I am sorry to left a one outside of the mentions, but there is another chance, as usual.
