Hello World!

This is the 44th 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 forty-three 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 FORTY-THREE the transactions links.

And the Winner is...

The Edition number forty-three of the TESTNET phase counted 2 (two) valid participants.

The two Key-Subjects were:

Duck and Building.

These are the 2 (two) winners of the edition:

Winner 1

The PRIZE increases!

The sponsorship amount by Nalexadre and Beblurt reached the end, but I decided to keep the prize on the current level. So, during the next edition almost, I'll distribute up to 100 BLURT tokens each week, adding them to the basic 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).

IMPORTANT!!!

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.

REMEMBER!

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!

This weekly edition is the:

44th edition of the Photochain Testnet

Another good edition, with the minimum amount of participants to validate a Photochain block. Thank you very much for your presence, @hangin and @arbalestarx7, you deserve the whole prize. The new edition shows a simpler couple of key subjects, especially for who loves travelling into the mountain or near watercourses. I am talking about Lake and Tree, the two main features of the edition number forty-four. I hope to see some new or old acquaintances, I trust you. Meanwhile...

Lumpini Park Lake is more than just a body of water; it is a serene urban oasis that enhances the beauty and appeal of Bangkok. Its scenic landscapes, recreational opportunities, and role as a social and cultural hub make it a cherished part of the city's fabric. The lake not only provides a peaceful retreat for relaxation and exercise but also contributes to the city's environmental health and sustainability. In the heart of one of the world's busiest cities, Lumpini Park Lake stands as a testament to the importance of preserving natural spaces and fostering a harmonious balance between urban life and nature.

Hi @davidesimoncini, sorry I lost track of time and didn't realize the last transfer had already been used in its entirety. I've just made a new transfer 😀

Wow, thank you Nalexadre, but there is no problem. Moreover, the last editions were subdued in participation and I continued myself without any difficulties.
