We are back!

I am happy to announce that the Deranged Photography Contest is back! There will be a few changes from the previous contest.
- Due to time constraints, the contest will go back to being weekly.
- I will no longer be running the contest from the @derangedcontest account. This decision was made because I have more of a following on my main account, so the contest will get more exposure from this account.
- Rewards for the contest will also be changing and there will only be two tiers (pro and amateur).
- I may tweak this over the next week or two until I am happy with how the contest will be set up.
Animals

This week's theme is ANIMALS. It does not have to be a wild animal. It can be a pet, a stray animal, it just has to be an animal. The more creative you are with your entry, the more of a chance you have of winning. Use elements of framing, good lighting, and try and tell a story through your image.
How is the Deranged Photography Contest set up?

The contest is broken up into 2 different tiers. Each will have a different rewards for the winners based on what tier you enter into.
Here is a breakdown of the rewards based on the tiers:
Place | Professional | Amateur |
---|---|---|
1st | 5 Steem 150 Staked CCC | 4 Steem 100 Staked CCC |
2nd | 3 Steem 100 Staked CCC | 2 Steem 50 Staked CCC |
3rd | 2 Steem 50 Staked CCC | 1 Steem 25 Staked CCC |
Each contest will be open for submissions for 6 days and close on the 7th day so that winners can be picked and the new post can be made.
There will be a new theme announced each week. I am hoping to have the whole year planned out and will be able to have that posted for you all to prepare images for the contest.

How to enter

When you enter a photo in the competition, you will state what tier you want to be judged in and locked in for the month at that level.
For example if you enter a photo, you drop the photo in the comment section, state what level of photographer you are, and then give a description of the photograph.
OCD Community and make your post to the OCD Community. You can join the OCD Discord and be a part of our discord community by clicking the link.That's pretty much it, drop a photo in the comment section of this post and state your tier. If you want to make a separate post for your entry as well, that is fine, but for your entry to be valid, your photo and tier must be in here in the comment section of this post. If you do make a separate post, be sure to use the #creativecoin and #oc tags. You are also encouraged to join the
Additional Notes

Only one submission per contest. Extra submissions will be ignored.
You can switch your tier ONE time per month, but only if you are moving up into a higher tier, for example if you are currently in the amateur tier, but you think that you have a photograph that you want to enter in the professional tier, you can state that you are changing your tier to professional. You will then be locked into the new tier for the remainder of the month. You are not able to move down to a lower tier, like going from amateur to the beginner tier.
If you do not state which tier you want to be judged in for the month, I will leave a comment to remind you to do so, but if you don't respond, you will be assigned to a tier and locked in for that month.
Plagiarism will not be tolerated in any form. All submissions must be your own work. I will investigate every entry and if you are caught plagiarizing, not only will you be blacklisted from competing from any future contests, but you will be reported to @steemcleaners as well.
You are encouraged to share your posts on social media sites like Twitter, Instagram, etc. If you do so, use the #posh tag on your post and share the link of your share in the comment section of your post for a chance for extra curation from curation projects that are curating posts that are promoting Steem to sites outside of the blockchain.
Thank you to everyone that will be participating. The contest wouldn't be around without your great submissions!

So glad to see you back on the game Wess!

Beautiful shot.
Good to have these contests back. And they even start with one of my favorite themes :) Let me find something special for you. How about a couple of tropical grasshoppers enjoying... well... themselves :D in the jungle of Costa Rica.
Amateur tier.
Hello ! here is my participation in the amateur tier ^_^ BTW, I love it that you reduced the tiers to 2 instead of 3...I think it's less difficult to decide which tier, in any case it made me want to try my luck ;-)

This is my puppy Mono, (Monkey), that's what the blond-haired are called in Colombia.
Beginer tier.
This is Rusty. We took care of him 3 times already and will do again in may this year. I love this dog, he is awesome but the most stubborn dog I know. He was sitting there while my girlfriend was preparing dinner and patiently waiting for a little treat. The most important things in Rustys life is food and belly rubs.
Tier: Amateur
Super cool shot , he is cute 😊
thank you
I would like to join this contest under the amateur tier.
This is a photo of my cat name thumberlina. We called her thumber. I got her from a friend and she is a very naughty cat but one thing that made us love her so much is that, she seem to be an understanding cat.
She also took care of our little girl while she is still small and often save her from all the bugs that come near her.
Though she is currently playful with our almost 2 years old daughter, and sometimes left a scratch on her skin, my daughter still love her so much nad the first word she pronounce quite alright other than mommy and papa is...
Meoow... 😅😅
Here is my entry - our newest family member - cuteness personified - her name is Zara
Please judge me as an amateur - this was taken by me with my Huawei mobile phone
This is Chico, my little parrot, he don't have a bird cage, he is wherever he want and many times if we put him in any place he jumps to us, don't like to be to far from us ;)
Photo was shooted with my mobile phone and my skills are amateur.

Amateur for sure. I don't even know the name of this thing but I know it is a rodent. I saw it at an indoor zoo I went to with my family and it seemed all it did was sleep. Maybe it is nocturnal ( LOL why have it at a zoo).
Cool contest. Found you from Steem News.
Tier: amateur

Zoo birds.. Either they are being affectionate with each other or plotting against the hoomans.
Ok
