REMINDER:
Hi gang! Just wanted to put out a reminder that there is only around 2 days left to enter the Abandoned Shit Weekly Contest. The current week's theme is "interiors". Simply put, the photos should be showing the inside of the abandoned object. It could be a building, it could be a vehicle, it could be a mine, whatever. Here's a refresher of the contest info:
** Guest Judge! ** @kommienezuspadt!
We've got another guest judge this week! This time it's a Steemit OG and the one who introduced me to this whole site, and cryptocurrency in general. @kommienezuspadt specializes in dark pinup photography. Every few weeks I see him post on social media looking for interesting, unique, and/or abandoned places to shoot his models. Seems like he'd be a guy who knows cool interior photos! He's also my brother! (actual sibling)
The Contest:
This is NOT a photography contest. The subject matter is what's being judged with the Abandoned Shit Weekly contest, not one's skills with a camera. Honestly, I just want to see some cool abandoned shit. lol HOWEVER, as with any photograph, the "wow factor" can certainly be enhanced with a technically sound execution. Simply put, winners won't be chosen strictly on artistry.
The Prizes:
1st Place = 15.000 SBD
2nd Place = 10.000 SBD
3rd Place = 5.000 SBD
The Theme:
This week's theme = INTERIORS! The photos must be of the INSIDE of the abandoned subject. This theme is pretty broad, so hopefully we'll get a lot more entires! It just needs to be the inside of the abandoned thing. Building, vehicle, mine, well... whatever. It just has to be a man-made thing.
The Rules:
Rule #1 = Your abandoned shit photo must be posted using the tag #aswcontest for one of your tags. This is crucial so that your entry can be seen/found!
Rule #2 = Your photo must be taken by YOU. If you take an imagine from the internet and use it as your entry into this contest, you will be disqualified and I will flag you.
Rule #3 = Only ONE entry per user, per week. Save some content for future contests! Multiple images of the SAME place/object in one post is OK though.
Rule #4 = Tell us what we're looking at! You don't have to write a novel, but let us know what the picture is of, and where you found it. That's the most interesting part! Equipment and camera settings can be included at your discretion, but is not necessary.
Rule #5 = Stick to the weekly theme!.
The Time:
When = New ASW contests will start on TUESDAYS and will end at 11:58pm EST on SUNDAY. Winners will be announced on Monday with awards distributed then as well. I figure it's a good way to start the week!
The HELP:
HELP! - I'd really like this contest to become an established, weekly feature. Resteeming the official contest announcement post here would be a huge help in getting the word out, though you do not HAVE to in order to participate in the contest. I'm just asking as a favor. Also, just mentioning the contest in/on your entry post would help a lot!

^^^Here's the photo used for the contest logo above. It was taken inside the ruins of a centuries old cottage in western Ireland, right on Galway Bay. It was located in the woods near a castle that was built in the early 1500's, so I'd assume this cottage was from the same time period. This photo is looking at the fireplace area.
