Hello, everyone I have been thinking about this for some time now and wondered if it would work. There are a lot of different contests that require one to take photographs, but there have not been that many here in the homesteading/gardening community. Recently, there have been some great contests and giveaways and I think that if we can add some more it will help our community grow.
The idea is to offer a photography contest that will take different aspects or themes of homesteading, gardening, outdoors, etc. One does not have to be homesteading or gardening to enter, but most will try to incorporate some aspect of it. It will be a weeklong event and the winner will get 50% of the post payout and runner-up will get 25% of the post payout. After the post payout, I will look through all the entries and select our winners.
The requirements to enter are:
It has to be an original photo
Be related to the theme of the contest
Upvote this post (and not required, but a resteem would be appreciated)
My hopes are that we can get a big response and that this can become a continued weekly thing. So, for the first week, the theme will be Animals. This can be any animal that you currently have or would see around on a farm/homestead.
Here is an example:
Please leave a link to all entries in the comments below. I cannot wait to see all of them. Best of luck!
I'll promo this contest tomorrow and drop in an entry! I thought about something similar a while back, but never ran with the idea. Great job getting this going!
That would be great and the more the merrier! I really just want to build the homesteading community and I thought that something like your contests might raise retention and create some discussions/bring awareness to other homesteaders. Thanks again!
I agree. Great idea, and I like it. Also, although I did a promo post that included an entry, please do not choose my photo for a winner. I am officially withdrawing my entry. ;-) Thanks!
Thanks for the contest. Here's my entry for the week.

This is a very good picture! The one on the far right reminds me of a Jersey that we once had.She was probably the nicest animal that we have ever had. I always like it when photography brings back memories of the past. Great Job!
He actually is a Jersey, and thank you!
I never thought I would say this but...Thats one good looking cow right there!!
Yeah, lol
Great idea!! This is my best pal!

Awesome idea, I posted two pictures. First is a turkey with a chicken and the second is a German Shepherd for protecting the livestock.

Thank you for hosting this competition. I love an excuse for posting a good photo. Here is my entry, Hopi the Shetland pony.

Hopi is adorable!
Thank you!
Is there a tag you want us to use or just post in comments?
For this time around, you can put your entry in the comments below. For the next one, I will probably use a tag. Thanks
Just a thought, but perhaps you/we could use the tag homesteadingphotography or something similar. It doesn't seem to be in use and it would make it easy to find entries.
That is a great idea! I will have to use that for the next one. Thanks
