Greetings, Steemians! It's time for another contest! This week's contest is sponsored by the Goddess of Growing Food Not Lawns, @lyndsaybowes. The two winners this week will each get a share of @steembasicincome.
So what's the contest? I wanted to do a Lyndsay-inspired contest since she is sponsoring the prizes, so I thought about it, and decided we needed a hug contest!
I nicked this photo from the #ophumanangels FB group ages ago for a post thanking Lyndsay for a delegation, and it was still on my hard drive. It's herself doing a Free Hugs op, which is where the inspiration for this contest comes from!
Don't worry, you don't have to go and do a Free Hugs op (but if you want to, that would be cool!). The contest is: Take a photo of yourself hugging someone. Anyone! Your mom, your spouse, your kid, your cat, a tree. Post it in the comments.
I want to see lots of happy hugging Steemians! You have until this post pays out to enter the contest, and as always, winners are chosen by my cats.
I will judge you after this nap

That's 'not' me in the pic, it's mama and grandma sharing some love...with babies in the closet.
Oh my goodness, what a happy family!! Generations of Love!!
Thank you, I'm glad that you liked the photo...I was fortunate to capture it at the right moment.

Another fantastic unique contest idea!
Aw, thanks! I see you made Mrs. Eco enter the last one, hee hee. I'll do the winners in the morning, it is bedtime now. 😴
Yes! And something tells me I'm going to get her in on this one too! ;p
LOL hug attack!
Well, not sure if there's a category for cats @phoenixwren, but here's a photo of a couple of "best friends" (who are sadly no longer with us) but they were eternally hugging ever since Kramer (the tabby) more or less "adopted" Orange when he was a wee kitten (Going to make a post about them, too... but wanted to share this):
Awesome! You are definitely in, @curatorcat! I love it when cats are besties like that. Maggie and Yuan mostly just tolerate each other, and other times they bicker like siblings. 😹
D'awwww....this is so great! #HugContest <3 <3 <3 Way to spread the Love, I know I'm smiling :)
😊
Kitten hugs! (may or may not be judge bribery...)
I could only catch 3 out of 4, and by the time the camera clicked I was losing another one. Here is our (sort of) group hug!
Squee! I love it! 😻😻😻
You look so happy to hug them my sister😊 I know it is the true happiness that you show it😍
