Hello World!

This is the 48th Edition of the PhotoChain challenge. The PhotoChain Challenge is a blockchain-like photography contest. If you would like to know more about, read the PhotoChain Challenge INTRODUCTION Post on HIVE. There, I explain the functioning of the contest and how to participate.

In this post, I'll announce the 2 winners of the 47th Edition of the Contest. Within the next 48 hours, I'll reward both of them with 1 HIVE SBI - as explained in the rules - and will post in the comment section of the 47th EDITION the confirmation of transactions.

And the Winner is...

The 47th Edition counted 11 (Eleven) valid participants...

The two Key-Subjects were:

Window and Wood

These are the 2 Winners of the 47th Edition:

Winner 1

Almi

with a fascinating view from the Zurich Christmas Time

The personal subject is Winter

Winner 2

Pavelsku

with a foreground of wood and window, quite minimalist

The personal subject is Ancient

I'm very very sorry for the delay, but my internet connection wasn't in so good conditions, so I waited for the new edition. Thank you very much to join in, this time I many appreciated the photos you submitted, and I decided to add A NEW RULE after awarding a photo I think maybe with a more creative rate than the other ones: the @zoricatech's photo

And now...

As I previously did on the Steem Blockchain, I decided to add another special prize for the next editions. The winners will each receive 1 HIVE as a reward, for a total of 2 HIVE. If they wish, they can ask me to receive 1 Hive SBI instead of a HIVE, writing it in the official post's comments in the first 36 hours from the announcement of the winners: otherwise, they will be awarded 1 Hive as the regulation saying. In addition, 2 Hive SBI will be assigned, 1 for each of the 2 photos that in my opinion will have stood out within the edition, for creativity or merit.

Congratulations!

Thank you EVERYONE for participating in this week's contest!

Prize for the next edition: 2 HIVE SBI, as I explained in the Transfer on Hive Introductory Post

Recapitulating:

This is a WEEKLY PHOTOGRAPHY Contest.

This is for EVERYONE on the Hive platform.

2 HIVE + 2 HIVE SBI PRIZE

No required UPVOTE, REHIVE, FOLLOW or BID to participate.

I explained in the Introduction Post that everyone can participate by submitting his/her own photo in the comment section. The photo must contain the 2 Key-Subjects that will be communicated in each post of the New Edition and another key-subject at your choice (contained in the photo). I also explained there how the key-subject will change and the criteria with which I'll choose them.

Are you Ready?

START!

This week's edition is the:

48th Edition

The KEY-SUBJECTS for this week are:

WINTER and ANCIENT

Maybe without the coronavirus pandemic the edition could be more crowded, but I hope in you also this week. Take the phone or the cam in the more or less meters you can cover and use it. I wish you a good luck, and we'll meet again in the hours before Christmas ;)

GOOD LUCK!

-- --- ---- STEPS ---- --- --

1) SUBMIT IN THE COMMENT SECTION:

• The photo that contains the two Key-Subjects;
• A Comment with the two Key-Subjects + another subject of your choice contained in the photo. (If you posted the image in your blog, you can post the link to that page, but you must add your photo anyway in the comment)

2) ONLY IF YOU WANT: mention another person you think would like this challenge.

3) NO FOLLOW, UPVOTE, RESTEEM REQUIRED.

4) WAIT FOR THE NEXT WEEK: time limit fixed to 3 hours before the Post Payout

I'll write a post for the weekly edition start and I'll announce the Winners of the Previous Week Edition. There I'll communicate the 2 Key-Subjects.

If you have any doubt, follow the practical example in the Introduction Post. Furthermore, I add a practical example in the comment section of the Zero Edition Post and you can consult the previous edition to know more about how can the comments be.

Rules

• One entry each participant

• NO PLAGIARISM!

• The duration of the contest: 7 days, from the start announcement post to 3 hours before the Post Payout Time.

• GIFs are allowed only 1) if the duration is less or equal to 10 seconds; and 2) if the key-subjects remain in the foreground for the whole duration of the GIF.

• Editing is allowed, but not creations such as graphic design: this is a PHOTOGRAPHY contest.

• Every Color Cover is allowed, including Black and White.

• Every Theme is allowed: no censorship except for extremely explicit content. The nsfw contents are allowed but I will not utilize the nsfw tag for the PhotoChain Post: so, if I choose a nsfw photo as a winner, I will not insert it as an image in the official post (only as a mention or a link to the original post)

• IMPORTANT: I invited the participants to use fairly large categories as subjects so as not to sabotage participation. You haven't to use proper names (of cities, places, mountains, species, etc)
  For example:
  Don't utilize the subject snow bear but only animals; naturally I will give more importance to the photo of an animal that is not often photographed compared to a simple domestic cat.
  REMEMBER! The more general the category used as a subject, the greater the participation in the competition, the greater the prizes in the future.

• Finally, I'll advance with the prizes awarding 2 days approx after the finish of the weekly challenge. I'll write the transaction ID in the winners' announcements post.

TIME TO JOIN!

Now it's your turn.
