Another week means another #swmchallenge. I'm thrilled about the fantastic turnout we had this week beating the 25 entries we had last week with record-breaking 46 entries!
Woohooo!!!! Thank you peeps, you are awesome! Keep them coming as there are and will never be any limits to how many entries you can make and I'll reward you for each one you make!
I really enjoyed reading your entries and seeing where my fellow steemians travel and all the awesome places they have visited.
For all of you who still may not know about SteemitWorldMap is a great tool made by @blueorgy and @martibis that allows you to pin your posts to a specific location or browse the world map where ideally every place on the map is a Steemit post. This contest is all about making it popular and encouraging more people to contribute their posts to the map. Let's make this happen!
I must state that all entries were very high quality and far beyond from what I expected to get. It was visible that all of you put a lot of time and effort into making your posts and for that I'm really thankful.
After carefully curating and reading through every single contribution I was left with 5 candidates to chose 3 winners from. You made it so hard that I couldn't decide who to throw out as all entries were so great, so I decided to go with 5 winners for this week :)
#1 @theexplorer
Beauty in the Shadows - Nong Nooch Tropical Gardens in Pattaya, Thailand
#2 @dejan.vuckovic

#3 @rosethiyada

@runicar - Wow - I was not aware of such a steemit map existing. That is a seriously cool idea and it is great that you are making it popular through the contest.
I travel a lot but I usually post about my wildlife pics connected to life thoughts and not necessarily about places. Do you think I could still enter the challenge with pinning my posts to the places where I took the wildlife pics?
Thanks for this intiative. Upvoted full

@vm2904
Glad that you found out about it :) Thanks for the support and yes I would love to see your posts on the map, that would be a cool addition. Very unique and special as I never seen anyone put wildlife pics on the map.
Looking forward for your contributions.

I would vote your post, but I hate contests and other people's posts.
ou are making a great article I wish I could become as successful as you and get a voice for me
I recently read cheetah's post which contained a list of 1500 people copy pasting from websites in a single day. Then here are these people who are doing to ton of work to earn a honest living. It is these people who deserve a lot.
Having met @martibis in Malta, I became a keen user of the map :)
Yep, it's an awesome app. A shame I can't contribute so i decided to at least promote it untill I get the chance to make my own contributions :)
This is a great idea. I have been using smw in my travel blogs and I have shared it to my workmates as well. I'm so glad to see contests like this. Smw is truly a great tool. Kudos to @blueorgy and @martibis. 🙌🏻 I'm definitely joining this. Told my friends about this as well. yey!
Lovelots,
@nikkabomb
Yes it is :) Glad to have you onboard dear!
I can show off some of the best highlights in Philippines with #iphonephotography during the grandest Sinulog Festival. yay! I'm so excited to share to the world the rich culture of our country. 😍
Never heard of the Steemit World Challenge, but then again I've only been on here for like a week and change. Definitely going to put together a post to submit :) Thanks for all your hard work on putting and keeping this project going!
