Hit me with your best shot
We had some really great entries in the landscape theme. This week, I just want to see some of your favorite shots. The photographs you take can have so much meaning to you, so make sure to include why these shots are your favorite.
The shot that I am using for the contest thumbnail is a shot of my daughter during her first equine therapy appointment. A few years ago, we almost lost our daughter due to depression, and her equine therapy appointments were one of the first steps that she was taking to get herself back into a better headspace. So this shot captured her long road to healing, which brought our happy daughter back to us.
So make sure to include some information about your photos. That way we can all see why they are so important to you.
How is the Deranged Photography Contest set up?
Every Sunday, I will announce a new theme for the week and you will have until Saturday to get your submission in. There will be two tiers for the contest. A professional tier and an amateur tier. When making your submission, you must state which tier you will be competing in. I usually get a lot of entries, so make sure to follow all the rules or else your submission won't count and will likely be ignored.
I will not allow any entry that is not your own original photography. If you are caught plagiarizing someone else's work, you will be flagged and banned from participating in any future contest. So make sure that the photos you are submitting are ones that you personally take.
All entries must be done through the Liketu front end. One of the goals of the contest is to create more awareness of Liketu, so make sure that you create your post from https://liketu.com/.
You only get one entry per week, so make sure to spend some time on getting a good photo and creating a fun post about your entry. You will need to submit a link to your post in the comment section of the contest announcement post and you will need to include at least one image from your post in the comment you make. You are encouraged to share more than one image in your post. The more effort you put into your post, the more chance you have for curation and possibly winning your tier.
On top of a chance for curation from Liketu, the top three entries in each tier will be awarded as follows:
Place | Professional | Amateur |
---|---|---|
1st | 8 Hive | 4 Hive |
2nd | 5 Hive | 3 Hive |
3rd | 3 Hive | 2 Hive |
