11th Week Of Self-Portrait Photo Contest
Dear Steemians,
By organizing this #contest I want to contribute to the further development & growth of the #Steemit community!
There was only one awarded entry in the 10th week - results are here: https://steemit.com/contest/@careassaktart/10th-week-of-self-portrait-photo-contest---results
INSTRUCTIONS:
Be creative & make self-portraits not in that common way as the trendy "selfies" but in a high quality way partly describing yourself & your way of life. Every each of us has many different roles to play in life: worker, sportsman, soldier, writer, driver, lover, husband, father, wife, mother, artist, model, waitress, lawyer, dancer, actress, scientist, doctor, singer, musician, politician, manager, nurse, porn star, prostitute, gigolo, pimp... or some kind of an imaginary character - somebody who you would like to be... There is plenty of inspiration for the theme!
Nudes are also very appreciated & welcomed as well as the conceptual & art #photography.
#Photos can be full color, b&w & #monochrome tones.
How to apply for the #contest:
Use a #self-portrait tag as one of your tags in the post.
Clearly mention the #self-portrait photo contest in your post title or post body & tag me in your post - @careassaktart (As this will help to grow this contest). For example: "This is my entry for the #self-portrait photo contest by @careassaktart"
Ad a short story / explanation / description to the photo.
Your #self-portraits must be your original work as well as the text following! Stolen content will be immediately reported to @steemcleaners.
Post a link to your entry in the comment below this post.
Please write in English.
Deadline: Wednesday, 26th of June 2019, 8:00 PM Central European Standard Time zone in Zagreb (GMT+1)

Example:
Space Travel: Uranus
Rested, I dived into ether and all the way to Uranus I arrived. I came out of the filthy puddle of my destiny. Took me a long time to complete this great voyage of mine. I look back to see what I once was, to analyze what I’ve become today!
Corners of my lips hung to the ground – my face got a sad expression. Tired and sleepless ‘cause I wanted all at the same time, right now or right then, no postponing and delay… Every frequency was interesting, so I wanted to taste it, to feel the vibration of every taste, every smell, color and sound, but also to touch other forms, oh so many times by now. You can’t have it all, or maybe you can?! Everything is always everywhere and nothing is never nowhere!
Thus, I got all that I asked for because he who asks, need not wander! Without fear of any feedback, I constantly meditate. I learned many things and stopped being a fool who makes the same mistakes. No regrets and remorse! Everything is as it should be…
Dilemmas led me only to insecurity. Now, I stand my ground, with a guard that filters both good and bad, consciously letting go to the synchronicity of life. It becomes visible only when you open your eyes, when you look and see, when you are reborn again and awaken from a long dream.
At the end of the Milky Way I came. Or is it the beginning? Depends on how you take it! Far from a bun. Pardon me, I meant the Sun, and its warmth. But my mother’s sweater still keeps me warm.
Space Travel is my multimedia project which appeared to me in the spring of 2014 when I came back from India & was visiting my friend in Zadar. I borrowed her bicycle & drove myself all the way to the interactive installation called "Greetings To The Sun" created by the Croatian architect Nikola Bašić... & then it struck me! Suddenly the words were coming to me - the words above - following the 1st portrait - The Sun - out of the Space Travel series...
It would be nice to have a #sponsor who would #delegate some SP so that this #contest can develop further more & that the prizes can be bigger...
By #delegating SP to me for the purpose of this #contest, you become a #sponsor / supporter & you will be mentioned in every next #self-portrait connected post of mine!

Dear @angelro, thank you for this entry but I can't accept it cause I explicitly wrote in the contest post under the instructions:
"Be creative & make self-portraits not in that common way as the trendy "selfies" but in a high quality way partly describing yourself & your way of life."
If you don't know the difference between selfie & self-portrait, check this out:

Thats alright @careassaktart, Sorry for not doing much investigation from my side to realize what exactly is the difference between two. And many thanks for providing the link...
Have a great day
I'm sorry again for the inconvenience but I must be strict with the contest & its rules so that I can achieve the highest results.
Thank you for understanding & you're welcome to apply again now when you know what is a self-portrait.
Wow.. There is no need of any sorry again. I completely understood. Moreover it shall be like that Rules are Rules, whether it is online, offline or in real life... I am also have the same way of thinking... (Are you capriconian, if so it is by birth and I am, so hope you could Know what I meant)
Honestly I am still confused, especially after looking into another Prize winning photo, I could not find exactly what it makes... Sorry my inability orignorance..
I will learn more, Btw have a look at this photo, notContest oriented, but check if it will come underself Portrait category

I'm Aquarius (or just been said I am) 😅 But I understand you completely!
I must admit that I was a bit mild towards the winner in the last week.
Portrait is a picture, photo or sculpture of only 1 person. But you can also view on your photo as a "multi-portrait" photo.
Thank you. It feels good to have a healthy or constructive communication here. good to know about yourself too little bit.
I too believe the self portrait form can be defined easily to understand others. Many can interpret it in different ways, May be an own.painting to show the emotion/feeling/expression would probably make a self portrait in its true meaning. I think so.
Also good to hear that you also had some reservation about selecting few of your result with same manner I also might had been thought of.
Finally why cant' you think about another subject for your contest, like family pic or street side snap etc. Just some examples. In steemit there was even some contests with subject windows, steps, unused or redundt material etc.
Just saying: ... Have a good day... Cheers
