Greetings from Steem Summit organizers!

This is the second call for submissions for the Steem Summit Exhibit. The exhibit will highlight the best of Cebuanos' passions and talents under the four categories namely: art,
photography, poetry, and travel posts. This post serves as a contest to choose the photos to be showcased in the summit proper.

If you are a Cebuano, someone who has been living in Cebu and its vicinity, or someone who scheduled his/her April 22, 2018 to be part of Steem Summit, then you are invited to submit your entry in Photography. Who knows? The panelists might choose your photo(s) to be showcased in the summit.

Expression of Gratitude


The organizers of Steem Summit would like to express their deepest gratitude to @donkeypong for his generosity in sponsoring the rewards of all Steem Summit contests, including the four calls for submissions under performing arts. To the Cebu community, let's be grateful to @donkeypong for being not just a supporter, but also a great mentor. His inputs have been crucial to the formation of Steem Summit.

Submission Categories


This contest is different from the three other categories because this is actually two contests in one post. The two categories under Photography contest are:

(1)Smartphone Photography
(2)DSLR Photography


This means that the rewards for this contest is doubled and you can join both categories. Meaning, you can submit two entries for this contest, but those entries should belong in the two categories mentioned above.

Submission Guidelines


The general guidelines are almost the same with Steem Summit's Call for Art Submissions. These guidelines will just be reiterated for formalities. While the guidelines are not requisites to assure your winnings, these would help the panelists in choosing the winners. Following the guidelines will also make your entries official.

  • Resteem this post. This will serve as exposure of the contest to all Cebuanos who wanted to join. The organizers don't want to hear stories that many wanted to join, but the information didn't reach them.
  • Make an entry for your photos. This will serve as your entry in Steemit. While a detailed write up is not necessary, it will be an added bonus. Much better if you can mention the settings used in your photo(s). While there are no minimum number of photos required for a single entry, three photos from different angles of your subject is suggested. A compelling caption of each photo is also highly recommended.
  • Use #steemsummit as the main tag of your post. This will make your post easier to find. This will also create a noise about @steemsummit.
  • Use #smartphonephotography or #dslrphotography as your second tag. If you are joining under Smartphone Photography, use #smartphonephotography. If you're joining DSLR Photography, use #dslrphotography. This will separate your entry from other entries under the other categories. The three other categories are poetry, travel posts, and art.
  • Comment below the URL of your post. This will lessen the work of the panelists. This will also allow everyone to see your photo(s). Keep the highest resolution of your photo(s). The organizers might request for them later on.

Submission Criteria


This will serve as the basis for the panelists in choosing the winners and rank the entries based on the scores given to the individual entries. The same criteria will be used for the two categories.

  • Visual Storytelling - 40%
  • Technique - 30%
  • Technicalities - 20%
  • Overall Impact - 10%

It is up to the panelists' interpretation of the criteria above that will determine the winners. The organizers have no influence in choosing the winners. Also, to avoid bias and influence of choice, the panelists don't know who are the two other panelists. The rankings are based on their opinion only.

Rewards


There are multiple rewards in these contests so everyone is urged to give their best.

  • Post Payouts - This is inherent to every posts in Steemit depending on the upvotes. You'll even get noticed by @curie if your post is really interesting.
  • SBD Rewards - This is courtesy of @donkeypong. All SBD rewards are from his donation.

First Runner Up - 3 SBD

Second Runner Up - 2 SBD

In DSLR Photography:

  • Exhibit - To be showcased in the exhibit is an exposure and a prestige to the winners. Their work will be marvelled at the exhibit.

Deadline


The contest will run for one week. So, the deadline for submission of entries will be on March 27, 2018 (next Tuesday) at 9:00 PM. The announcement of winners will be done on the next day; Wednesday, March 28, 2018. Heads up panelists! You are only given one day to rank the entries.
