HEADS UP FOR A NEW THEMED WIWCONTEST!

---

I thought I would give you the heads-up for next week's wiwcontest! Going forward, I will be choosing a theme each week, and you will be able to submit up to three images for the theme, either in separate posts, or all in one post.

Starting at midnight EST tonight, I will accept only images following the contest theme for the week, which is ANIMALS.

Tomorrow, I will announce the winners of this week's contest and give another reminder about the theme. The guaranteed award for this week's winners is 2 SBD, thanks to a generous contribution by @ shadowspub. Thanks also to @saffisara for her generous monthly contributions which give the awards a boost on one week per month!

Winners will be chosen from all the entries for the week and will be chosen based on:

1. Technical merit
2. A predominance of white in the image
3. Being pleasing overall to the eye.
4. Visual IMPACT

The three WINNERS will receive an equal share of 100% of SBD from the previous week's winners' announcement post plus any donations that come in for the week, or 1.0 SBD each, whichever is greater.

1. Here are the rules:Photograph an image with a PREDOMINANCE of white (This means YOUR OWN WORK!)
2. Enter up to 3 times following the week's theme.
3. Add the #wiwcontest tag to each entered image
4. Upvote this post, so that we can spread the word and earn some more SBD for the prize money. ONLY THOSE UPVOTING THIS POST WILL QUALIFY TO WIN. THE MORE THIS POST IS WORTH, THE GREATER THE PRIZE MONEY WILL BE_. Resteeming is not required, but would help to raise awareness and hence raise the award money!

Hi Diane! So from now on the themes are weekly?

[dmcamera]

Yes, correct. There are far more people entering now, and with a potential of 7 entries each person per week, it has been getting more difficult to manage. Choosing winners with flowers, architecture, animals etc. all in the same pool, has become more difficult than it was at the beginning when there were just a few entries.

[kunschj]

Will the themes rotate through the wiw categories you have already established?

[dmcamera]

Yes, for the most part. I'll announce it each week though, so it may not be in the same order as whiteiswhite. It's going to be easier for animals to compete against animals etc., and definitely easier for me to choose winners from within a category.

[maruharraca]

It is totally understandable! You are awesome! :)

[dmcamera]

LOL! :-)

[ninahaskin]

I saw your post on Discord and came over to upvote. I had to change the hashtag in my last post since it wasnt an animal- darn. I understand your reasons for doing things this way @dmcamera How's the chrysallis?

[dmcamera]

Thanks! Sorry about that! I’ll go check outyour post! I tried to give enough advance warning for today. Lol! The chrysallis is still doing ok, i believe. I bring it indoors on very cold nights. It’s taking a while, but cooler weather makes it stay like thst for longer periods.

[tattoodjay]

I think thats a god idea for changing to a weekly theme :)

good luck and I hope you get so many entries

[dmcamera]

I believe so too. The contest is evolving and change is inevitable! It should be better for competition now. I won’t have to choose between a building and a flower. Lol! I had to start the way I did to get enough entries, but now it’s time to move on!

[tattoodjay]

Yes that makes such sense I need to start something up soon

[deadgrlsuppastar]

Thanks... I am doing this 7 days of love contest.. and it's been mind boggling time consuming. I don't know how you do .. mad props!

[dmcamera]

hehe! Those who do the contests big time use bots to find the entries that qualify. Out of my league, I'm afraid. It's blood, sweat and tears for me! LOL!

[putry01]
