This photo came from among many excellent entries, but it seemed to suggest an EPIC 9th season of the Wild & Strange contest. All you have to do is turn it into some sort of artwork and reply with your entry below to enter.

Here is the progression that this contest follows.

---

ROUND 1 = PHOTO – Take a photo to enter – COMPLETED

---

ROUND 2 = ART – Use winning photo from Round 1 to make a piece of art - BEGINS NOW!

---

ROUND 3 = MEME – Use winning art from Round 2 to make a meme

---

ROUND 4 = POETRY – Use winning meme from Round 3 to make a poem

---

ROUND 5 = SONG – Use winning poem from Round 4 to make an original song

---

Here are the official rules for Round 2:

---

• Using the winning photo provided by @chrisroberts from Round 1 as the inspiration, create your own original artwork.
• You can use any medium, such as paint, pencil, clay, digital, coffee, etc, to create your art.
• The winning piece of art will be used as the inspiration for the meme in the next round, so you may want to keep that in mind.
• Enter original work and provide your entry in a reply to this post.
• You can still make a post out of your entry, but your post does not count as an entry, only your reply.
• Keep everything kid-friendly and G rated.
• You must enter by midnight this coming Monday (CST) in order for your entry to be considered valid.
• By entering, you are giving me full permission to use your entry however I wish.

Have fun and get creative! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Also, if you enjoy making posts with stuff like this, why not make a post out of your entry as well. For one, it raises more awareness about the contest. Also, it gives you another chance to gain some STEEM for your efforts, and many times steemians have made more off of their posts about a contest entry than the winners of the contests did! What a crazy place this steemit is!

The winner of this round will walk away with all of the liquid STEEM/SBD from the author rewards of this post.

Until next time…

Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
