I believe I have it back under my control.. I am removing spam posts and trying to reconstruct the original post.
Please don't remove upvotes :)
Would you be interested in a Steemit Photo Challenge?
Let's say that we choose a list of photograph challenges to showcase our original photography skillzz, any format and any medium — iphone, ipad, film, digital, potato. Actually, let's not post potato quality images.
For example, I'll post the challenge on a Friday, you then have until Sunday night to post your images using the #SteemitPhotoChallenge tag. As many images that relate to the challenge as you want, in the same post. I'll most likely choose either my favourite or my top three to highlight in a post.
Examples of challenges could be: Black & White, or Portrait, or Colour Abstract, or Sunset, or Long Shutter Speed, or Must Contain A Box Of Cheerios
Only original photographs, please.
You can take them from your previous photos, but it would be pretty sweet if this was a completely new photo done just for the challenge.
Of course, we won't know for sure that they are all original but let's just try to have fun without trying to game the system. If your post history is a bunch of spam, I'll be suspicious, just saying.
The point is to generate more content for the #photography tag and interaction on the posts.
Critiques of photos should be welcome
Let's get better together.
So what do you think?
#SteemitPhotoChallenge starting this Friday?
I will donate 100 STEEM to the winner of this challenge and 50 STEEM to the runner up of this challenge, plus any SBD earned by this comment.
People like @berniesanders are what make the Steemit community amazing! I tip my fedora to you good sir. And as a gesture in return:
I will donate 25 STEEM to the third place runner up
edited due to @moose 's generosity
Count me in..
I will donate 10 STEEM to 4th place. Hey it's small but heck why not!
How are you rating the photographs?
I've rewarded the winners from my account, you can send it to me later. [check my recent transfers]
wow completely forgot about this.. So you gave 4th place 10 Steem?
If so I'll go ahead and send you what I promised
I gave fourth place 25 steem in the end but you donated 10 to the fourth place winner, thanks! You can check my transfers for the proof that I sent it.
Sent! :)
How I feel about my chances of winning.
There you go, a .09c upvote to buy you a bottle-cap's worth of beer for the show =P
Thank you! My blogs make less than that :D
I'll put that in my collection jar and maybe i'll be the first to buy a Steem-beer one day.
Lets up-vote Bernie so the cheese wont have to come out of his wallet :)
Save yours. He can afford it. :)
:)
The challenge is on Steemies - thanks @berniesanders
Iphone photography can join @berniesanders ?
MAKE IT RAIN!
I think this post will fly, waay high
That's very generous! And I like ideas like these springing into life! I will add any amount of SD this reply makes and on top of that all SD I make if I would be one of the winners this weekend.
And another 10 SD of my own shared between number 4th -13th! Rankings depend on votes they get.
Watch out, the Finnish sunsets are insaaaane ;)
Very generous of all these fellow Steemers to get behind this upcoming contest with their SD $$$. I will definitively be submitting a photo (or more if there is no limit).
Hi berniesanders, by the way, i love your name :) please check my latest post out. I wrote it to you and the other whales. Maybe you agree :)

Perfect idea.
I'd like to edit one of your last lines though: "The point is to generate more 'ORIGINAL 'content for the #photography tag and interaction on the posts."
I'm seeing so much stolen content in this tag lol...
So.. WHEN ARE WE STARTING? :)
(cleaning up spam from compromised account)
I would suggest everyone who participates also posts the images to instagram with the same hashtag #SteemitPhotoChallenge so we not only get the word out but also maybe who knows, we could get some really cool photographers onboard :)

Don't forget to credit me ;)
Wonderful idea! I have bought a new camera last winter and since then, I am shooting as much as I can trying to learn how to do it right. I am planning to post some of my pictures from various locations soon. A contest like this is a surplus motivation to grab my camera on saturday and go hunting for some nice pics. I am so in :D
Edit: typos
Totally doing this great idea!
Sounds like fun!
Why did you remove the prize listings? =(

The post was hijacked by somebody and replaced with memes, I tried to recreate the post that was there as quickly as possible.. Please see the new post with the theme announcement here
The rewards have been increased! :)
A great idea. I guess you've started an avalanche of photography challenges :)
Congrats! I will join it, of course.
By the way, I did a post about your post. Check it out here.
I do hope that tomatoes will be a theme for a future challenge :)
Excellent idea! You have thought it through well. When I post photography I am going to provide some kind of proof. Today I took some photos and one of them has my piece of paper with the date and the Steem logo.
Great idea. Is post processing acceptable?
(cleaning up spam from compromised account)
Wow! This is fantastic! Looking forward to it!
it looks like there will be a lot of master photographers who will reveal himself in steemit the next few days .... social media is sure to be filled with lots of amazing photos ... sorry if my English is bad hehehehe
I'm not a photographer myself, but I love looking at awesome photos! I'd love to check out the best of Steemit's photography.
Finally putting the steem dollars to work :) I shoot with a Medium format Pentax 67II but im sure that anyone with a gopro can achieve great quality work.
This week I talked to a friend that's a Photographer and I'm trying to make him join steemit, maybe this will help.
Steemit is such a terrible platform for photographers. All these copyright issues, lack of an organized way to show work, etc... Hope your idea picks up.
Licensing is huge because I'd be pretty pissed if someone took my photo and made money off of it on Steemit. Is it the honor system for this contest or do we link to our verified accounts somewhere?
I'm not sure how it will work yet. There will be rules in place and I will try my best to avoid rewarding a stolen image, and I'm sure the community will be keeping their eyes open for signs of plagiarism as well.
I'll join this contest ............ :D
i'm not photographer, but i love about photography.
am i late? this is interesting. i follow this challange.
this is one of the my picture taking shoot with camera.

Super Idea
Can't wait to bring out my inner hipster/photography side
This would be fantastic!
let's do this!
This is a very good idea. However Users of Steemit live in Europe too.
I think it is necessary to specify the time format AMT and GMT. ⏰
AMT to GMT Converter - https://savvytime.com/converter/amt-to-gmt

that's a good idea!
This is such a great idea and I plan on participating. I hope you don't mind, but I took your idea and brought the challenge forth to the artist (illustrators, painters, etc.) community. https://steemit.com/art/@brianblackman/calling-all-steemit-artists
