Hi everyone! Today's the day... the beginning of the fourth Abandoned Shit Weekly Contest! Lots of cool abandoned vehicles were posted last week. I cant wait to revisit that theme in the future! This week we'll be back to me doing the judging... so much pressure! Let's dive right in:
The Contest:
This is NOT a photography contest. The subject matter is what's being judged with the Abandoned Shit Weekly contest, not one's skills with a camera. Honestly, I just want to see some cool abandoned shit. lol HOWEVER, as with any photograph, the "wow factor" can certainly be enhanced with a technically sound execution. Simply put, winners won't be chosen strictly on artistry.
The Prizes:
1st Place = 20.000 SBD
2nd Place = 10.000 SBD
3rd Place = 5.000 SBD
The Theme:
This week's theme = Commercial/Industrial! The photos must be of abandoned commercial or industrial facilities. Factories, malls, hotels, mills, stores, mines, etc. Basically, any place that someone would go to when they said they're "going to work".
The Rules:
Rule #1 = Your abandoned shit photo must be posted using the tag #aswcontest for one of your tags. This is crucial so that your entry can be seen/found!
Rule #2 = Your photo must be taken by YOU. If you take an imagine from the internet and use it as your entry into this contest, you will be disqualified and I will flag you.
Rule #3 = Only ONE entry per user, per week. Save some content for future contests!
Rule #4 = Tell us what we're looking at! You don't have to write a novel, but let us know what the picture is of, and where you found it. That's the most interesting part! Equipment and camera settings can be included at your discretion, but is not necessary.
Rule #5 = Stick to the weekly theme!.
The Time:
When = New ASW contests will start on TUESDAYS and will end on SUNDAY. Winners will be announced on Monday with awards distributed then as well. I figure it's a good way to start the week!
The HELP:
HELP! - I'd really like this contest to become an established, weekly feature. Resteeming the official contest announcement post here would be a huge help in getting the word out, though you do not HAVE to in order to participate in the contest. I'm just asking as a favor. Also, just mentioning the contest in/on your entry post would help a lot!

^^^Here's the photo used for the contest logo above. This was an abandoned 5-star hotel we found on a mountain top in the Azores. Millions of dollars and several years went into building it. It opened in 1979 and closed in 1980 or '81. From what I've read, it was in good shape until 2011 as it was maintained and guarded. Then the powers that be didn't want to pay guards and upkeepers, so it slipped into decay.

Another picture of the abandoned psychiatry in east-Germany/Leipzig.
It was founded 1901 and used til the 90s.
I have one question ^^
I did the "power up"- vote for 100%, just to try what is does :p
What does it?
Well, by default the payout is in half steem dollars, and half steem power. 100% power up means that all of it will go to steem power. :)
Ahhh okay. Thank you ^^
Does this mean we'll finally see the ultra-creepy photos of the psych wards?! Honestly I've been waiting! I don't have any, just want to see them
Likewise! Here's to hoping... 🙏
Now I wished I lived in Detroit. My city demolishes vacant buildings so fast
This contest isn't important enough to wish to live in Detroit. lol
Lol

the blooming sari building built by the wife of Indonesian president Suharto. I've been there in 2016 ago
I'm confused. Is that place abandoned? Why would they keep the waterfall running?
Cool contest! I have a target in my mondo!i Will come back soon!😉

One of my favourite contests on Steemit. Glad to be able to challenge myself to get new views.
Loved taking the picture instead of staying in the office 😂 I have to admit.

Very interesting contest , will try to participate !
Can I use older photos, or do they have been taken the week of the contest?
Old photos are fine!
This is from a couple years ago, I believe it has since been torn down. Anyone familiar with the north side of Madison, WI should recognize it. It was right next to Olbrich Gardens. I thought it was really cool, but I guess these abandoned buildings all have to go sometime.
