PAPA TURNS 70 - SO YOU GET A NEW CONTEST - A WILD & STRANGE PHOTO CONTEST FROM @papa-pepper TO CELEBRATE HIS NEW REPUTATION - With 95 STEEM to be Given Away!!!
Look, there is no way that @papa-pepper could have accomplished all that he has here on steemit without all of you. I know that as well as you do, so I'm not about to try to take the credit for reaching a reputation of 70 last night.
To add some more community interaction to this platform and to bless some of my faithful followers and supporters, I'm going to start "PAPA'S WILD & STRANGE CONTEST".
This will be the beginning of Round One, the Photo Contest.
The "requirements" of this contest are simple.
You will need to submit a photo containing three (3) things.
1- A TREE
This can be any tree of any size, or even multiple trees. Just make sure some sort of tree is in the picture.
2 - A STEEMIT LOGO
I don't care if it is a professional print or a hand-drawn scribble, just make sure you get the steemit logo in the picture.
3 - BE ANONYMOUS
Yes, the goal is that you will be the one in the picture with the tree, but, for fun, be anonymous. Bandannas, sunglasses, masks, whatever it takes, just hide your actual face for the photo.
To enter ROUND ONE of PAPA'S WILD & STRANGE CONTEST, just post your original photo of you being anonymous with a tree and a steemit logo in the comment section below. Please keep all photography safe for children and G-rated, but feel free to have some fun and get creative.
The judging will be done by myself, and it will therefore be subjective, but you can help influence the decision by commenting on the pictures submitted. Voting can be done by bots, so I will use the number of comments on the photos to help influence which photo will win. I'll also wait a few days for entries to get in, since not everyone can run outside immediately, get anonymous, get a steem logo and a tree, and take a picture.
Also, be safe, I may have hung upside-down by my feet from the tree, but I was comfortable with that. Only do what you are capable of.
Basically, you are competing with one another and my photo to come up with the best shot!
I WILL AWARD 50 STEEM TO THE WINNER LATER THIS WEEK.
Then, we will move on to Round 2, of PAPA'S WILD & STRANGE CONTEST!
I think you guys will like how the contest develops as we move forward.
Example of an entry:
Just to make sure that you all have a chance to win some STEEM and have some fun, here are some open contests that @papa-pepper still has from earlier:
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS?
If you can tell me what this is a picture of, I'll give you 5 STEEM (First come, first serve).
Also, the first person to link one of my posts that contain whatever this is will also get 5 STEEM.
I'll reply with the photo below, and you can guess or post the links in replies to that comment for your chance to win.
BIGFOOT CONTEST
Follow the link above for the full details, but reply to one of my "BIGFOOT CONTEST" comments below for your chance to win 5 STEEM and a handmade Bigfoot shirt exclusively from @papa-pepper. Just check out the games below, and see if you can figure out any of the answers. (1 winner per game, and only 1 win per user.)
YOGART
A long time ago, on a steemit far, far away, @papa-pepper made some yogart, which is basically art made out of yogurt. I offered 1 STEEM to the first three people that would made some yogart themselves and reply with a photo of it.
I'll reply below with a photo of some, and if you reply with your own photo of some yogart, I'll give you 5 STEEM. The photo must contain three things to be eligible:
- A bowl of Yogart
- Your username written somewhere in the picture
- My username written somewhere in the picture
FIRST THREE REPLIES WIN 5 STEEM EACH! (1 win per user)

Thank you!
You made it... Fully entered!
Yay! Happy To be a part of your contest! Actually I think it's inspired me to make my own contest.
Actually, you might be in the lead for the popular vote right now... not that it entirely matters, but it helps.
Make sure you link-drop your contest for me, at least in chat, so I don't miss it!
Cool. I am looking forward to the result!!!
I definitely will, I haven't had time to make the post but it will be coming up in the future.
Right on!
I'll take the 250 steem, but I'd rather win it!
Oh I am so excited for you! Congratulations on the big "70"!!
Now...SHOW ME and MY MONEYTREE the Money...!!!
Great contest! I'm still LMAO.

Excellent entry.
Glad to see you had a photo that qualified laying around.
Well, it wasn't exactly laying around...I'm not going to tell you what I had to do to borrow the "leaf"...and I also made this post to drive some excitement and publicity around your big news and contest.

Hi @papa-pepper, I just stopped back to let you know your post was one of my favourite reads yesterday and I included it in my Steemit Ramble. You can read what I wrote about your post here.
Thanks for letting me know!

Keep doing what you do.
You are a huge help to Papa!
Sorry for the delay. Here is my anonymous photo entry!
Man, you sure look like a weirdo!
HAHA, thanks! Just an ordinary redneck!
LOL!
Takes one to know one, I guess!
That's a lot more impressive skull!
Is that better?
Very charming!
;-)
papa, here is the promised entry: SMALL TREE HUGGER
[edit note] due to some reasons, this submission is withdrawn. still, good luck with the contest!!
Happy weekend!! btw, good work on explaining Steem! :)
That was not what I was expecting to see!
Here is my image for the contest.
"Grow Faster!"
Just trying to help the little tree Grow!
That is such a ridiculous photo!
It's perfect!
I just took it tonight, had no idea what I was going to do. I just saw the tree there and thought it would work out. At least I had my phone for the Steem logo.
It qualifies, and I really like it!
Are there tunes coming out of your phone? I read in an obscure circular, that playing small-scale musical botany videos to your tropical's in the evening, while giving physical support, will help them through the wintertime blah's, but I've never actually seen anyone demonstrate it. Thanks for the entry, really gave me a good laugh. Happy Thanksgiving.
Well no music. But I like the idea will try it out. This was just a random tree at the park.
Good idea, at home I suppose. Think standing in the local park, with a coat on your head, playing music to their plants in the middle of the night might get you more attention from the local gendarmes than you need ( :
Congratulations on Rep-70 and 10K SP! You do a lot for the Steemit community. Here's to you getting to 75 - and maybe even that ethereal 79 again!
I guess I should put a bow on my hat,- haha. And nothing beats wool for rooting around outdoors in the winter-time!
LOL!
I love the entry!!!
Well done!
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS?
BE THE FIRST TO GUESS WHAT IS IN THE PHOTO CORRECTLY AND WIN 5 STEEM.
ALSO, 2 OF MY PREVIOUS POSTS HAD THIS IN IT, LINK A CORRECT POST AS A REPLY TO THIS COMMENT AND WIN 5 STEEM.
THREE WAYS TO WIN, ONLY ONE WIN PER USER WILL BE VALID!
Looks like Armadillo Scales to me. Although it could be A lizard of some sorts. The white mixed with the Grey makes me think Armadillo though.
It is an Armadillo, but that contest was already won.
Will you be entering the photo contest for a chance to win 50 STEEM?-
Yep, I was already looking over the rules. I think I can do this one, we will see. :P
Good, I'm waiting until Monday to post on it!
The picture is scales, from a snake?> from here?
NOT A SNAKE, BUT GOOD GUESS!
Keep looking, you'll find your answer!
