MONOMAD - October 5th - WINNING PICKS, HONORABLE MENTIONS AND NEW RULES!

MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS RULES UPDATE

In order to bring more visibility to this contest and also allow us to grow the rewards that we keep giving away, every single day to our participants, we need to slightly tweak our rules.

From next Monday on all the posts that won't follow these new rules will be excluded from the contest.

---

THE NEW CONTEST RULES AND ELIMINATORY FACTORS ARE:

• Use the #monomad tag as you first tag. (ELIMINATORY FACTOR)
• Clearly mention the #monomad challenge in your post title or post body. For example: "This is my entry for the #monomad challenge". (ELIMINATORY FACTOR)
• Upvote the #MonoMad post from the previous day. (ELIMINATORY FACTOR)
• The posts must be in Black and White or Monochrome tones. (ELIMINATORY FACTOR)
• Colorsplash edits are allowed.
• Every picture must be your own and that will be checked, so don't even bother posting Google images. Stolen content will be immediately reported to @steemcleaners.

DELEGATIONS:

There are a couple of new open slots. Current delegators will have priority in case they want to increase their position. Contact us in discord before delegating, so we can review your account and to make sure the slot is still available.
Keep in mind that our current VP limits us and only allows us to upvote delegations till 100SP (in order to keep a fair rate).
Please do not delegate over 100SP, unless you're just willing to support the project for what it is.

ABOUT THE #MONOMAD CONTEST:

Upvoting our posts is not mandatory but it will be deeply appreciated. It will allow us to progressively grow the account and increase the rewards. In case of doubt that will be taken in consideration while picking the winners. If you don't care why would we care?
There are no daily topics or any other creativity limitations. All you need to do is post black and white photography and use the #monomad tag.

IF WE SEE YOU USING THE SAME IMAGE TO ENTER MULTIPLE CONTESTS WITHOUT A CLEAR MENTION TO #MONOMAD WE MIGHT "ACCIDENTALLY" MISS YOUR ENTRY.

LET THE REAL MADNESS BEGIN!

DELEGATIONS :

By delegating a small SP portion to the @monochromes account, anyone can help the Challenge and, at the same time, earn some extra votes when using the #monochromes tag.
How?There will be a limited number of slots available:

25SP slots - At current rate each one gets a 10% Upvote every 22 hours
50SP slots - At current rate each one gets a 20% Upvote every 22 hours
100SP slots - At current rate each one gets a 40% Upvote every 22 hours

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THE UPVOTE VALUES ARE TIGHTLY CONNECTED TO STEEM'S EXTERNAL MARKET PRICE, SO IT WILL FLUCTUATE ACCORDINGLY.

-------
HOW WILL YOU GET YOUR DELEGATION EXCLUSIVE UPVOTE?

• There's a hardworking little bot that will give you one upvote every 22 hours, on the posts with the #monochromes tag.

-------

YOU POSTED BEFORE THE 22 HOURS COOLDOWN AND THE BOT MISSED YOU?

• NO PROBELM! You can always edit and save that same post after the 22 hours period to "call" the bot and get the upvote that way.

---

---

TAGS

As you already noticed, there are two distinct tags to use in order to get rewards from this @monochromes account.

• In case you are NOT delegating and just entering the #monomad challenge, use ONLY the #monomad tag.
• If you are delegating AND entering #monomad, use both of them, #monomad AND #monochromes.
