Binary Stars: Collaborative Contest Round 1 Voting [Theme: EQUINOX][Prize 1000 SP]

The aim of this new contest is to encourage collaboration between content creators on Steemit.

The prize will be 1000 SP delegated for 4 weeks, to be shared between the two winning collaborators.

Funding for this Contest has been generously provided by @eturnerx. One important rule is that all participants must be members of the Minnows Accelerator Project (MAP); if you are not yet a Member, then please request to become one at the current Signup page so you can participate next month.

We have finally reached the Voting stage for Round 1. Because there are few entries, the TOP 3 shall go on to the FINAL Round 2.

Please read the rules in the Pre-launch article. There is no need to repeat them here unless there are changes. Those who are not currently participating can prepare for the next contest at the end of October.

Please also read the Theme and participation rules in Binary Stars: Collaborative Contest Round 1 Call for Content [Theme: EQUINOX][Prize 1000 SP]

Contest Theme: EQUINOX

The autumn equinox will take place on the 22nd September 2017 at 20:02 UTC. It is the traditional end of summer and beginning of autumn. It is defined as the time at which the path of the Sun crosses the celestial equator. Although defined in terms of astronomical phenomena, it is popularly thought of as the date on which we have 12 hours of daylight and 12 of night; this isn't quite right and the day known as EQUILUX is distinct from the EQUINOX. All of which is worth considering in your interpretation of the Theme.

References to EQUINOX need not be strictly scientific, but can be metaphorical, psychological or cultural. There is no need to place limits on your expression of the Theme. Collaborating pairs must be from different creative fields, and may include writers, artists, video and audio producers and any other expressive art that I can't think of!

How Voting Will Take Place

Below are listed all the collaborating pairs of content creators. One person from each pair must create a comment with a link to their article.

Everyone can now upvote the comments and leave a "vote comment". MAP members also have an additional vote within the MAP chatroom.

To join the Minnows Accelerator Project (MAP) just see the link in the footer.

Remember, the TOP THREE pairs will go through to the final round, which will start the day after this Voting Round ends. The theme shall remain EQUINOX, but collaborators will be expected to produce a new interpretation.
