My winning contest entry picture for @Papa-peppers Wild and Strange Contest! Then I couldn't beleive what happened next!
My Winning Picture In @pappa-peppers contest
Recently @papa-pepper had a contest called wild and strange photo contest! The rules were simple: 1) You had to take a photo of yourself by a tree, 2), You had to be anonymous, & 3) You had to have the steemit sign or logo showing in the picture.
I Had All of these thing in my recent winning picture. Lots of trees in the background, trees next to me, I wore a mask, And I had a sign propped against the tree with the word steemit and the steemit logo on it.
I actually was inspired to make my own contest, for 3 chances to win up to 50 steem Here in this post. It is very similar to @papa-pepper's contest. The rules are mostly the same except instead of a picture by a tree instead you have to take a picture while you are jumping on a trampoline. Here is an example I created in the form of a gif (gif not required for contest)!
There was multiple contests @papa-pepper was running at the same time on his wild and strange photo contest post, So I actually decided to enter his BIGFOOT GAME 2 first because nobody had even made an entry. The goal was to figure out who made this GIF on steemit. I did a google reverse image search to figure it out!
Then after I won that contest I felt encouraged to enter into his other Photo contest. So I decided to go outside and have a photo shoot! Here are some more of the picture that I took that I didn't make the cut for my entry post. Had to make some tough decisions about which one was the right picture to choose!
First I had to put on my mask
Then Levitate up to the broken tree branch (no pictures of levitation taken)
To crouch or to stand?
Should I look at the tree or the camera? I think eyes on camera & crouching!
No, Wait I should be standing, If I don't They won't be able to see my Steemit shirt and Steemfest belt (scarf)! I should be close to the sign and tree!
No, I've got to stand tall and proud with my torch up high!
The torch needs to be even HIGHER!
Even better I'll create an action pose with the torch
Ok, I am just going to look up at the sky, thinking deep thoughts
.
Then I could not believe what happened next!!!!
No seriously, It was really a surprise for me. @papa-pepper surprised me with a creating wild and strange contest round 2 art! After reading in this post that I won
After a lot of help from the steemit community, I determined that @ballinconscious was the winner with this entry:
I continued to read to find out an even bigger surprise.
The next round of this contest is the art contest, where you get to create a piece of art based off of this photo. The artwork can be in any medium. Here is an example of a drawing and some digital art.
Those were pictures @papa-pepper made based off my picture, and since it was a contest other steemit users would be making art based off my photo too!
This is what I saw as I scrolled down into the comments. So many contest entries, so many images!
So many steemit users had already entered the contest with their image creation based off of my picture!
