The Theme for the very first Steemit Photo Challenge is:
ANIMAL PORTRAIT
Here are some examples from David Boni
And some more examples
You have until Sunday night to post your entries using the correct tags, I will be watching the entries as they come in during the weekend and will announce my picks early in the week. Please be patient.
You can check the initial post here
The Rules And Conditions
Please read these carefully and adhere to them
All entries must be tagged both #photography and #steemitphotochallenge
The Title must contain "SteemitPhotoChallenge Entry" along with the title of your work.
Let us know the medium used to produce the photograph, it may be more impressive based on what it is.
Basic processing is allowed.
Any medium or format is allowed — iphone, ipad, film, digital, point and shoot, drone, whatever. Once it takes a picture. Note that image quality will be considered.
Multiple Entries can all go in one post, just put the details under the image.
I strongly encourage you to post work that is original to this challenge, in other words — take a new photograph instead of using an old one.
@steemr suggested that photographers with Instagram accounts tag their entries as #SteemitPhotoChallenge to draw more attention to the platform. This is applicable across social media.
Any attempt to steal others' work is considered a serious infraction by the community, so don't do it. Please don't waste your and our time by posting some image from the net.
Every effort will be made to ensure that we do not reward theft. All images will be reverse checked, if the image has been found on more than 2 “major” websites, it will be disqualified unless reasonable proof can be shown to prove ownership of the original. If there is any doubt whatsoever about the ownership of the photograph, I reserve the right to disqualify the image. It is in your interest to provide any proof necessary. I would appreciate any help from the community in finding plagiarism where I might have missed it.
The photographs will be judged on how well they met the challenge, the quality of the image, the composition, lighting, exposure, and the general aesthetics which means that yes, it is subjective.
Public votes will not be the highest consideration.
My decision will be final, I know that it will not please every one but I will try to be fair and unbiased.
The winners will be announced in a new post after a few days, the rewards of that post will help fund the next round of winners for Steemit Photo Challenge #2.
The Rewards
First Place 150 Steem
Second Place 100 Steem
Third Place 50 Steem
Fourth Place 25 Steem
Honourable Mentions will receive 10 Steem each.
Rewards for this Steemit Photo Challenge have been donated by @berniesanders (150 Steem), @discombobulated (25 Steem), @moose (10 Steem), and the remainder from the rewards of the first post.

Excited for this challenge- appreciate the opportunity
this is sick!! Good creativity:)
Sounds fun :) I never shoot animals so it will definitely be a brand new image! Excited to see what will happen with this challenge. Great idea!
I never shoot animals either. Hmmmm. Might have to ask around.
I live in Colorado, I'm sure I can find plenty of hunters to shoot me some animals. oh wait! lol ;)
I'm most likely going to go with my kitty, we'll have to see though :D
@jamtaylor Rock On! this is awesome! :D Thanks
Keep it Clean!

Good theme! Here is my entry for the challenge : https://steemit.com/photography/@marinabogumil/steemitphotochallenge-entry-lioness-kiara-and-marseille
Hi @jamtaylor I live in South Africa. Hence the time difference is about 12 hours( Assuming you're from the USA ). Could you pleas give me an exact time for Sunday?
I'm not good with time zones but I'm in Barbados and I'll make a selection Sunday night or Monday... So there isn't really a strict cut off, just post it before midnight Atlantic Standard Time whatever that is in SA
Next time pick a topic that is unique to this website. Animal portraits are everywhere...I would suggest to add 3 elements to the picture to make it original.
Hi @jamtaylor, here is my entry for the challenge :

Here is my entry, thank all for your attention
SteemitPhotoChallenge Entry - my one-eyed cat
I love animals!
Here is my entry for the challenge:
Why a thumbnail image doesn't display?
The image displays properly at the story, but is not displayed as a thumbnail when browsing articles.
Make sure you are using http://www.imgsafe.org
Thanks! I will give it a try.
Could you please explain why?
Hello! May i use in this challenge portrait of monkey, that i post 2 day ago, prior to the announcement of the theme?
https://steemit.com/photography/@sharker/monkey
This portrait I like very much, but I do not want to duplicate the posts.
I don't see why not, you can edit title and the tags to enter it.
Hey buddy, i have a suggestion. Why not, you add comment or drop a reply to every entry "reviewed" to notify the owner that it has been reviewed. :)
Old post can no longer be edited. I tried, but the error appears.
Go ahead and repost it with the tags, I don't think anybody will mind.
Once I can see it in the steemitphotochallenge tag it'll be fine.
I have a small problem. I chose the photos and make a several posts. With the title indicated "Steemit Photo Challenge # 1". These works will participate in the competition? All tags are registered.
sharker, can you please contact me at [email protected], I'd like to chat with you about something.

I have a question about the pictures we are allowed to upload! Can my friend submit a photo through my account? He runs his own photography business out of Vancouver and this would be a great way to help them get exposure as well! Check out some of their work here http://www.tnorthstudios.com/.
Thank you!!

good job, good luck :D
Hi @jamtaylor, what is your definition of basic processing? Cropping, colour adjustment? Is e.g. manipulating selected colours already more than basic processing?
Sorry, I missed this. Basic processing to me is pretty much what you can do in a dark room. Once it doesn't seem like a digital painting or something.

Here's my entry for the challenge. Good luck to everyone!
