Beach Wednesday edition 3 is live
Glad the new old tag is welcomed by some of you guys - appreciate every submission and all entries get some rewards, not only the top 3. Please join our re-vamped contest around the beautiful beaches of our beautiful planet. Read on for the background of this, what we want, the rules and what you can win apart from being recognized as a great photographer.
More background
Guys, I decided to re-vitalize my #beachwednesday with an official bi-weekly contest like #SunThursday. It was about time to do so. The guys that know me from pre-blockchain communities are aware of that photography challenge I invented ages ago. I also introduced this to Steem / Hive early 2017 and was thrilled by all the great people using it posting about beaches around the world. At that time it was a fun photography challenge I curated with my votes and engagement - the lovely @lizanomadsoul took it over to curate after 2 years but we hardly had any posts since one year.
Why a contest now?
Given the #SunThursday contest is now running since nearly 6 months with great submissions, a lovely small community and I often get asked how we can reward great photography on the blockchain I decided to also run a little bi-weekly contest for Beach Wednesday starting NEXT Week, Wednesday, March 3!
Check the tag #BeachWednesday and jump to 2017
To get a feeling about this please search the tag via "recent" here on Peakd / Hive to see many submissions from 2017-2019. Even there was no prize money involved - many people joined as they love to post for fun. This one as well as my SunThursday and DanceWeekend challenges have their special little places in my heart and will always try to submit posts ongoing (sentimental moments lol - I know!).
I still believe these little tags and micro-communities are fun and can connect many people from different regions - kind of small communities. BeachWednesday is not totally new - even before Steemit abd later Hive I hosted this on other platforms. Feel free to keep using the tag and who knows, maybe this will become a Hivemind community soon 😂. I am always delighted to see the great moments and stories you post weekly.
I hope this contest will drive again some engagement around its niche topic and attract photography junkies (amateurs and professionals) to use this blockchain and this tag to show the beauty of our lovely world.
This contest will have some rules, prizes for the winner (hope you read on) are some decent votes from @theycallmedan - so the Top 3 will get some vote between 7.5 to 20% by one of the driving forces behind our blockchain - just as a small hint - a 10% vote currently is worth around $4 aka 20 Hive.
And here are the rules
Please create a post using the tag BeachWednesday showing your own original photography or video work covering the beaches from lakes, oceans etc or write about the topic, short or long stories are also welcomed. The three best submissions will receive their winner upvotes within one day after the winner post.
Post photography, video or written content covering the topic BEACH
Use the tag #BeachWednesday as your first tag
Add link to your submission in the comments on THIS post
Consider to "vote&reblog" this post to spread the contest (not mandatory but it might help)
Only original (your own) content will qualify
GOOD LUCK!
Contest submissions will need to be made until April 5, 10am CET to make sure we have enough time to select the winner
Decision on the winner will be made by myself for now.
What to win (contest will be handled every two weeks)
This is a fun contest where I still am searching for sponsors - for now this is what the top 3 will receive:
1. Prize: 20% Upvote by @theycallmedan - worth around $20
2. Prize: 15% Upvote by @theycallmedan - worth around $15
3. Prize: 10% Upvote by @theycallmedan - worth around $10
Always open for community sponsors
Please comment or DM me if you want to support great photography content creators. Ideally a community or whales join the party so we do not get stuck with small user pocket money only :-).
Nice - its a pleasure to take part on this one today :) !

My friend, your post was great as usual - I am not skilled to judge given there are so many great posts, therefore I will have the winners to judge next editions. My heart breaks to only select three :-). Thanks for attending and looking forward to your next posts.
Thank you very much for your appreciation. There are, indeed, many very valuable posts and I am glad to see that. I think I will keep up the pace harder but participation is important and I will be in these competitions of yours all the time when I have something good enough to be exposed..
I'm excited for Beach Wednesday!

Thx for submitting a great post - I really like it and I hate to judge and decide for 3 "best" posts only. therefore I will have the winners to judge next editions. My heart breaks to only select three :-). Thanks for attending and looking forward to your next posts.
Hi, Thank you!
Is it time for a new post? I'm a little confused on the timeline for posting.Thanks.
It's a couple years old but I'm looking forward to a weekly contest here
Nice one, would be also cool for SunThursday but we need a post link :-).

So nice to see this contest back! Here is my submission:
https://peakd.com/beachwednesday/@pardinus/beaches-portuguese-edition
Great one, Portugal - missed to visit the country as one of the few from Europe. Thx for submitting, I really liked it and hope you come back for the next edition.
If you ever come to visit and you like beaches, be sure to check Alentejo! ;) Thanks for organizing this cool contest, cheers!
Damn, an hour to late.
Anyway - plenty of Beach here and I love to join next time. Why not tagging a few people who like to be tagged to get noticed

Thanks for this my friend - tagging is a special think - I try to avoid mass tagging to be honest but maybe you are right. I also realied that I actually think all submission this time would deserve to be winners so I will go back to the system like on SunThursday to give the judging role to the winner of the previous edition.
