Winners Beach Wednesday contest #23

in #hive-1925013 years ago

Great winners but we need more variety - join our contest!

As usual thanks to all submitters and @hyhy93 for his decision on the edition 23 Top 3 spots - however, I really miss new folks to enter and to win, can we get more folks, new joiners, new winners?

As far as I can judge the winners all deserve their prize but I also see the winners often have similar names which means they are good but maybe we should change the voting / judging system a bit as well - what about next edition one of the folks submitting that did not win judges and gets a prize for simply judging? Bad idea probably as folks could aks him / her for votrs - no ideal solution I guess - no idea if anyone reads this thing at all but feel free to comment.

For now, please join me in congratulating the top 3 today - all three winning posters will receive an upvote prize by Commenting on this post.

Bit background on the contest / tag

Guys, I decided to re-vitalize my #beachwednesday with an official bi-weekly contest like #SunThursday. It was about time to do so. The guys that know me from pre-blockchain communities are aware of that photography challenge I invented ages ago. I also introduced this to Steem / Hive early 2017 and was thrilled by all the great people using it posting about beaches around the world. At that time it was a fun photography challenge I curated with my votes and engagement - the lovely @lizanomadsoul took it over to curate after 2 years but we hardly had any posts since one year.

Why a contest now?

Given the #SunThursday contest is now running since nearly 6 months with great submissions, a lovely small community and I often get asked how we can reward great photography on the blockchain I decided to also run a little bi-weekly contest for Beach Wednesday

Check the tag #BeachWednesday and jump to 2017

To get a feeling about this please search the tag via "recent" here on Peakd / Hive to see many submissions from 2017-2019. Even there was no prize money involved - many people joined as they love to post for fun. This one as well as my SunThursday and DanceWeekend challenges have their special little places in my heart and will always try to submit posts ongoing (sentimental moments lol - I know!).

I still believe these little tags and micro-communities are fun and can connect many people from different regions - kind of small communities. BeachWednesday is not totally new - even before Steemit and later Hive I hosted this on other platforms. Feel free to keep using the tag and who knows, maybe this will become a Hivemind community (haha, nice one from the past!) soon 😂. I am always delighted to see the great moments and stories you post weekly.

So no prizes - Why should I bother to submit?

Well, as a community we first shall have fun, right? So I hope this contest will drive again some engagement around its niche topic and attract photography junkies (amateurs and professionals) to use this blockchain and this tag to show the beauty of our lovely world.

This contest will have some rules, no Hive prizes for the winner (hope you read on) but some decent votes from @theycallmedan - so the Top 3 will get some vote between 7.5 to 20% by one of the driving forces behind our blockchain - just as a small hint - a 10% vote currently is worth around $4 aka 20 Hive.

Rules for next edition - submissions to start February 2

Please create a post using the tag BeachWednesday showing your own original photography or video work covering the beaches from lakes, oceans etc or write about the topic, short or long stories are also welcomed. The three best submissions will receive their winner upvotes within one day after the winner post.

Hey @uwelang this looks like a great contest, but I am confused about the dates. Based on what you wrote: Contest submissions will need to be made until January 24, 10am CET to make sure we have enough time to select the winner.

Hi @uwelang,
I am very honored to be the judge for the Beach Wednesday contest #23, because maybe you have a short time limit for the contest, so the participants are not many, only 6 people participated in the contest, so I It was very difficult to choose the first prize for the article about the most beautiful sea. And the number of participants also repeats in the previous number of contests. I hope the contest time you give is longer so that others can know more about it, and have time to write articles to participate.
Congratulations to the 3 of you @tuyenmei95, @kohsamui99 and @tinman88.
Beach Wednesday contest #24 I will continue to participate and share about the beach in my hometown.
Have a nice day!

Thank you @hyhy93 see you in the next round 😊

Hi there @uwelang just like to let you know that @tuyenmei95 or myself @tinman88 have not been upvoted by @theycallmedan not intentionally of course maybe just overlooked.

true, will be done on this comment for you - @tuyenmei95 I will check if I find a different recent comment somewhere, if not feel free to comment on this here.

Thank you @uwelang and @theycallmedan 👍

Thank you! @tinman88 I have received the reward for my article content, thank you very much.

Nice one 👍

Congrats to all winners!
I think I will join next contest :)

do it mate, please do so

I will... Da sei dir mal sicher :)

Congratulations to all the winners, even though they make me envious! Envious that they live so close to the beach..., I think though that maybe others are envious that I live in a pretty big city, very crowded with people and cars, very polluted, very noisy.
Great photos, @tuyenmei95, @kohsamui99, @tinman88!

Thank you @bluemoon I once lived in a big city also and am so happy I move out to be closer to nature.

I'm sure you're happier closer to nature. I, fortunately, live on the outskirts of the city, where there is still some nature and peace and quiet and I limit my outings to the city center as much as possible.

I definitely am happier @bluemoon it was the best move I made enjoy and have a great weekend my friend 👍
