Hello Nature Lovers !
I would like to cordially invite you to another great week of the Amazing Nature Contest. There were already so many excellent entries regarding how amazing nature is in the past episodes, thanks to all of you, but there is still so much more to see! ^^ To participate in the #amazingnature contest just write up a post and explain how amazing nature is for you personally ^^
What is the Purpose of the Contest ?
I am a huge nature-lover and really enjoy taking pictures of all the lovely things that surround me every day, no matter if plants, animals or landscapes. Hive is a brilliant place to watch these while simultaneously reading and learning about nature from all over the world. There is such a diversity of great content, thanks to all of you, from different perspectives and out of various motivations. This contest attempts to collect all those beautiful snapshots and their amazing stories in a weekly compilation so that you all can benefit from the beauty that we are facing all the time, but so often are not able to appreciate in the modern and fast paced times we are living in.
#amazingnature is at home in the DNA-Discord, a organization run by people for the people, with the aim to foster and densify nature-appreciation in the blockchain. DNA is also the home of the #fascinatinginsects, the #featheredfriends and the @fungilovers communities.
Contest Rules :
- POST your entry INTO the AMAZING NATURE COMMUNITY. You can also use the #amazingnature TAG if you like to ^^
- CLEARLY MENTION that your post is an ENTRY for this contest.
- All pictures have to be your own. You can use the amazing nature banner if you like or create your own.
- STATE IN THE TEXT why those pictures are representing YOUR AMAZING NATURE. This is an ESSENTIAL part of this contest.
- Drop the LINK to your post IN THE COMMENTS. You can add a picture if you like. It is NECESSARY as I have to post a link in Discord on Friday, 5 days later for voting and also for my own compiling purposes.
- The entry window is open for ~ 5 DAYS. Watch out for the -CLOSED in the title.
If you miss the entry, please wait for the next round. As I have to work and also to manage a family there are no fixed UTC times.The window can open in a wide range between 10 am - 10 pm and also close accordingly ^^
- The AMAZING NATURE COMMUNITY is there FOR ALL POSTS ABOUT THE AMAZING NATURE AROUND YOU. We would highly appreciate it if you share your great nature content there with us! .. The contest is located there as an integrated part and special community feature ^^ It also features the Amazing Nature Challenge (@bucipuci), the Nature News (@juangb) and various Curation Reports (@nelinoeva, @redheadpei, @tinta-tertuang) !
Possible Topics :
As nature covers an incredible wide range there is really anything possible. Amazing Natures categories could be anything from the following topics:
- Botany
- Zoology
- Geology
- Landscapes
- Philosophy
- ... Surprise us ^^
Prizes to Win :
- 1st : 3 HIVE
- 2st : 2 HIVE
- 3st : 1 HIVE
I will present all participants in the entries section of the announcement posts that will be published roughly one week later on Sunday (depending on my time schedule this may shift ^^). This way you will have a nice compilation of them all. As an special feature, the new title picture will be created from the entry of the contest winner. This time it is from @redheadpei.
How are the Winners chosen ?
The voting on the winners will be done by the whole DNA community. Therefore we created a special contest channel in the DNA Discord (Amazing Nature Contest). Here I will post the announcement post including the winners (Announcements) EACH SUNDAY together with all your entries (Entries) EACH FRIDAY. Every member of DNA will be able to assign "voting emojis" under the entries for 24 HOURS. In the end those three with the most are the lucky winners. I will engage as a judge in case of a draw ^^

DNA - Densifying Nature-Appreciation :
DNA is an organization to foster and DENSIFY NATURE-APPRECIATION which aims to establish REPORTS OF BIODIVERSITY DATA that is contributed by all of us Hiveans and subsequently cataloged.
Therefore DNA searches for HIGH-QUALITY posts that aim to DESCRIBE and determine the BIODIVERSITY AROUND YOU with added EXPLANATIONS and INFORMATION. For these informative posts they offer a CURATION SERVICE using the @dna.org account. It is also a CURATION TRAIL. Just add the #dna TAG if you think that any of your posts is what they are looking for.
At the moment DNA is also the home of the #amazingnature for all your post about the amazing nature all around us and also the home of the #featheredfriends hosted by the lovely @melinda010100 🦢 for all you great posts about our feathered friends and the #fungifriday hosted by the amazing @qwerrie 🍄 for all your posts about fungi and mushrooms ^^ But we hope that more nature related communities will join, or maybe some Hiveans start their own little project there ;) .. Maybe even you?

Hahaha, ou are very welcome ! But actually we all should be far more honored that you decided to contribute to Amazing Nature so much as a curator and early day supporter ;) .. I remember all the great posts with Tiny which I always loved to go through ^^
Thanks so much @adalger.🙂 Tiny was such a sweet little red squirrel. I'm pleased you remember her. One of Tiny's descendants was coming up to see me quite often but as long as the feral cat, Friday, is on the deck, he won't come near..smart squirrel. 🐿
Thank you very much and congratulations to the winners on the wonderful stories from nature. ❤️ Greeting! 😀

Thank you very much for this great about the beautiful and useful birch wood @antikus369 ^^ .. I am so super sure that @bucipuci will like your entry too, hehe 🤣
:-)
I like birches. It is a universal tree and illuminates the forest :-)
When you plant a birch tree and take care of it, it is able to indicate to you how you are doing in terms of energy and health.
Thank-you for choosing my post to be among the winners and congratulations to the other winners @redheadpei @joanstewart - lovely posts! Also the honorable mentions!

Thank you for your entry about the leaves and their importance in nature ^^
Thank you @adalger my pleasure happy you liked the post 😉
Hi all. This is my entry for the contest. Click here for the link. Hoping you enjoy it.
Thank you very much for your maiden entry @gems.and.cookies ^^ . If you ever have a finished garden full of roses I would really love to see it in one of your posts .. I suppose a rose filled garden will be something that @nelinoeva will find highly enjoyable too to watch ;)
Thanks @adalger for the mention. I am happy to greet an old friend in our community.
@gems.and.cookies, you have beautiful roses and I am sure you will have very beautiful garden with them.
Thank you for a very warm greeting. I really am excited to see how the garden will look. My daughter has over 20 new plants from her stem cutting. And she's still at it. When they flower they make the garden look so beautiful.
The pleasure in posting to the community is all mine @adalger. Most definitely I will be posting more about the progress of our rose garden. Thank you for your kind and enthusiastic welcome.
Hi Chief!
I apologize, from a while ago I've tried to join discord but failed. Maybe there is something I should learn about that. But even so here is my entry for this week's AN contest: A hilly area in the morning, how does it look?
Thank you very much!
Thank you for your entry @keuudeip ;)
I can't stay away from the Amazing Nature contest, sir!😁 Always thank you for the opportunities you give!🙏
