## Dear Steemians, ### By organizing this #contest I wanted to contribute to the further development & growth of the #Steemit community! --- ## In the 28th week I will keep the prizes spread but I will also raise them all a bit cause it's a Christmas so I hope that you'll gift me & the #Steemit community by some of yours best #self-portraits & I'll gift you with some #STEEM! So, besides the 1st, 2nd & the 3rd place, there will be honorable mentions who will get 0,2 STEEM each! --- ## In the last round there was again only 1 entry but a very beautiful & touching one! It was applied again by @whimsical-magic. ## The post with the results & explanations can be seen on the following link: https://steemit.com/contest/@careassaktart/self-portrait-photo-contest-results-27th-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](https://steemit.com/@careassaktart) (As this will help to grow this contest). For example: "This is my entry for the #self-portrait photo contest by [@careassaktart](https://steemit.com/@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](https://steemit.com/@steemcleaners). 5. Post a link to your entry in the comment below this post. 6. Please write in English. --- ### Deadline: Thursday, 26th of December 2019, 3:00 PM Central European Standard Time zone in Zagreb (GMT+1) --- ## **This is not a selfie #contest & selfies are not acceptable & will be refused & disqualified!** ## If you don't know the difference between a #self-portrait & a #selfie & consider to participate in my contest, I advise you to please read the following article: [https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-a-selfie-and-a-self-portrait](https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-a-selfie-and-a-self-portrait). ## **Portraits of you shot by others are not self-portraits & will not be accepted either!** --- # Prizes: # 🥇 First place: 5 STEEM ## 🥈 Second place: 3 STEEM ### 🥉 Third place: 2 STEEM **Honorable mention will receive 0,2 STEEM!** --- ## Example: # _"A Happy Traveler"_ ![_DAP7210.jpg](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/careassaktart/s6RIukZB-_DAP7210.jpg) *Be sure to click on the image to view full screen!* *(This photo was made with Nikon D800 & Nikon AF Nikkor 35-70 mm 1:3.3-4.5 lens from the floor)* _On this photo I was a really happy traveler while driving my Twingo from Genoa to Monaco along the coastline of Liguria. I set up the camera timer & ran to the point where I set the focus. I also took off my shoes to feel the Mediterranean sea for the first time in my life. It was a bit cold but the day was sunny & warm. The small island that you can see in the background is called Isola di Bergeggi. I'm actually doing a #multimedia #travel #project & would like to include more people in it so please take a look on it cause any kind of support & collaboration would be appreciated - follow the link: https://fundition.io/#!/@careassaktart/kv6b04cv6. Thanks!_ --- # All the prizes I’m sharing from my own pocket for all the rounds so far, including this one. ## 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.
