Congratulations To The Awesome Winners!
The choice was a difficult one, so I asked my son to be the judge this week! There were some terrific entries. The SBD generated from Week 8's Winners' Announcement post was 1.838, and there were donations of 5.1 SBD, so each winner will receive 2.313 SBD. That's worth $15.10 today!
Congratulations also to those winning an Honorable Mention. Your images are awesome too! You will each receive a tipu tip of 0.1 SBD.

PLEASE READ THE RULES AT THE END OF THIS POST IF YOU ARE SUBMITTING IMAGES FOR WEEK 10'S CONTEST! AND PLEASE BE SURE TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN WORK! Those submitting images grabbed from the web will be reported to @steemcleaners! Not only is this image plagiarism, but it is also copyright infringement and won't be tolerated in this contest!
Out of 58 submissions received, 13 images were swiped from stock sites on the web! That's a whopping 22%! You are not going to win by doing this, so please don't bother to try! If I don't already know you and your work, I am going to research every submission you make! Cheaters will not be tolerated! (My apologies to those who are doing this the right way. This is not aimed at you, although I may be preaching to the choir if those who need to read it don't!)

Week 10's contest runs from Sunday 14th January till Saturday 20th January.
By entering this contest you are agreeing to your image being posted on the announcement page next week if you are a winner. 100% SBD from each announcement post will go towards the awards for the following week's winners, so to be fair to those who read and follow the rules, ONLY THOSE UPVOTING THIS POST WILL QUALIFY TO WIN. I reserve the right to change the prize money to STEEM at any time.
Enter an image a day if you wish, in the following categories:
Monday: White Photographed Against White
Tuesday: Animals
Wednesday: Flowers
Thursday: Food And Drink
Friday: Architecture
Saturday: Water In Nature
Sunday: Anything Goes
Winners will be chosen from all the entries for the week and will be chosen based on:
- Technical merit
- A predominance of white in the image
- Being pleasing overall to the eye.
- Visual IMPACT
The three WINNERS will receive an equal share of 100% of SBD from the previous week's winners' announcement post plus any donations that come in for the week, or 1.0 SBD each, whichever is greater.
Here are the rules:
- Photograph an image with a PREDOMINANCE of white (This means YOUR OWN WORK!)
- Add the #wiwcontest tag to each entered image
- Upvote this post, so that we can spread the word and earn some more SBD for the prize money. ONLY THOSE UPVOTING THIS POST WILL QUALIFY TO WIN. THE MORE THIS POST IS WORTH, THE GREATER THE PRIZE MONEY WILL BE_. Resteeming is not required, but would help to raise awareness and hence raise the prize money!
