"This house is standing on memories alone."
Hi everyone! Today's the day... the beginning of the second Abandoned Shit Weekly Contest! I'm really excited about it and I hope some of you Steemsters are too. We had a great turnout last week for the maiden voyage and hopefully we can keep that momentum going. Lets get right into it!
The Contest:
This is NOT a photography contest. The subject matter is what's being judged with the Abandoned Shit Weekly contest, not one's skills with a camera. Honestly, I just want to see some cool abandoned shit. lol HOWEVER, as with any photograph, the "wow factor" can certainly be enhanced with a technically sound execution. Simply put, winners won't be chosen strictly on artistry.
The Prizes:
1st Place = 20.000 SBD
2nd Place = 10.000 SBD
3rd Place = 5.000 SBD
The Theme:
This week's theme = Homes! The photos must be of abandoned residential living spaces. Houses, cabins, shacks etc. I'll even allow nursing homes, orphanages, and condos. Just somewhere that a person once called "home".The Rules:
Rule #1 = Your abandoned shit photo must be posted using the tag #aswcontest for one of your tags. This is crucial so that your entry can be seen/found!
Rule #2 = Your photo must be taken by YOU.
Rule #3 = Only ONE entry per user, per week. Save some content for future contests!
Rule #4 = Tell us what we're looking at! You don't have to write a novel, but let us know what the picture is of, and where you found it. That's the most interesting part! Equipment and camera settings can be included at your discretion, but is not necessary.
Rule #5 = Stick to the weekly theme!.
The Time:
When = New ASW contests will start on TUESDAYS and will end on SUNDAY. Winners will be announced on Monday with awards distributed then as well. I figure it's a good way to start the week!
The HELP:
HELP! - I'd really like this contest to become an established, weekly feature. Resteeming the official contest announcement post here would be a huge help in getting the word out, though you do not HAVE to in order to participate in the contest. I'm just asking as a favor. Also, just mentioning the contest in/on your entry post would help a lot!
That's it! Let's see some cool abandoned stuff! Good Luck!
^^^This is the photo used for the ASW Contest logo above. It was taken during the winter of 2016 in Iceland and is an old abandoned farm house. I looked into the history of this place, but most information was in Icelandic. One thing I did read is that home has ties to "the last sorcerer of Iceland".

my this week's humble entry
Thanks for joining in on this!
pleasure's mine. I too have a bit of a thing for abandoned stuff or urban temporal treasure as I like to call it. I'm just waiting for the theme shoes next :) or toys
Do you prefer entries to be posted as single photos here in comments, or written up in a post? Thanks again for hosting this contest!
A written up post as it's easier for me to search all entries by just using the #aswcontest tag. Plus it helps to get the word out about the contest. :)
Love this contest - especially as it gives everyone a chance!! Always had a soft spot for old / unloved things so I’ll check if I’ve got any pics of homes!
Cant wait to see what you dig up!
Finally found the little beauty I’ve been searching for;

My entry for this awesome abandoned shit contest :-)
Thank you @customnature for running such a
cool contest!
Can i post pics about a abandoned hotel?
Well, I'd hold off on that one if you can. Within the next two, the theme will be "commercial/industrial" and a hotel would be perfect!
Oh, thanks. So, i going to participate on the next week.
Cool! Did you change the tag?! ASW or AWcontest?
Woah! Good catch. No I just typoed it. Fixed now. #aswcontest :) Edit- actually, it's not letting me fix it. dammit
Yeah you can't change the first tag!!
Ah well. This one post will have to live with the messed up tag. lol
You'll have to get your abandoned shit together. 😎
Sorry for the smartass joke

Thanks for doing this! Can't wait to see this one, I too have a fascination with abandoned things...lol
I'm glad to see so many other people seem to share our fascination. I hope as many cool photos are posted this week as last!
I had a great vehicle planned but I guess I will wait. I have some homes too but first I am going to take a ride down The Old Magnolia Highway and see what new old place I can find.
Hang onto it! "Vehicles" will definitely be the theme soon. Actually, I debated the whole "theme" idea in general... but there was so much different abandoned stuff last week that it made judging really difficult, perhaps even a little unfair. Like, how could a little abandoned bicycle compete with the incredible abandoned church cathedral that won first place? Know what I mean?
Thanks again, It all seems good to me. Maybe occasionally an anything els week for only those things that do not fit into other categories. It could be very interesting. I just like the abandoned things. Thanks again.
Oh we will! I'll have a few categorized themes... but then an "anything goes" week every so often.
This is going to be epic.
Can’t wait to see the posts!
I hope so! Id be thrilled with a repeat performance of last week.
Here is my entry for this contest, hope you like it :)

Hi, here I brought my abandoned house for you.
LINK POST
I've only been On Steemit a few day's now and I'm already sold on the concept and the community. I love this contest idea. You can expect an entry from me every week If I can find the subject. I've had a fascination with old homes and abandoned places since I was a kid. I posted my picture in my blog, but I wanted to say hello and drop it off here as well.
My entry here.
This house was used as a pavilion in 1900. In Turkey's Erzurum city , standing still is unchanged. My grandmother says that there is a very rich merchant in this house in time

What a fantastic idea! I'll have to take a (long) walk into the nature reserve, but I have the perfect abandoned house for this contest! We are thinking of converting it into a ranger station.
Cheers! Thanks to @outerground for resteeming so I could find this ;p
My entry! By the way I really like the contest!!
That's not a home!

No problem! But save that photo... the theme will be "vehicles" soon. :)

An entry for ASW. Original Post Here:
https://steemit.com/aswcontest/@ohicklin/little-house-on-the-prarie-abandoned-shit-weekly-contest-2-homes
Found this old settlers' cabin out on the prairie in western Montana one day while wandering around some long abandoned back roads.
This was literally out in the middle of nowhere. Truly a desolate and lonesome landscape. No other signs of human life (or animal for that matter) for miles, except for a road passing by.
Conjures up a lot of thought as to the type of people who would have wandered that far and what perils they must have encountered, or perhaps were trying to escape.
Thanks for keeping us thinking!
Love the name lol Upped and followed
I have to have a dig through for some more shots .
Thanks again for running the contest. This is my entry for this week !
https://steemit.com/photofeed/@intrepidphotos/rock-of-cashel
Bummer I just saw your theme for the week. That said the Rock of Cashel was the traditional seat of the kings of Munster back in the 1100's and then occupied by the church staff who lived there so hopefully it can scrape in as it was indeed 'home' to lots of people ; and if you read the history in my post they were all slaughtered horrifically when it was abandoned !
