** Submit your Abandoned Vehicle photos by 11:59pm EST, Sunday! Be sure to use the tag #aswcontest **
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 "vehicles". This can include any form of transportation: cars, trucks, vans, busses, trains, boats, airplanes, and of course zeppelins.
New BONUS Reward!
I really would like this contest to catch on and increase participation, so instead of paying out 5 SBD to promote the contest, I've chosen to give that money to the participants, if they're willing to help. ALL you need to do is post your contest entry with the #aswcontest tag, AND resteem this post or the original contest post here: https://steemit.com/aswcontest/@customnature/abandoned-shit-weekly-contest-3-vehicles-40-sbd-prize-pool-aswcontest
On Monday, when I announce the contest winners... I'll also enter all of the entires into a random number generator. If it selects your post, I'll check to see if you resteemed one of these contest posts. If you did, I'll be sending you 5 SBD along with the contest winner payouts! That's it! If you happen to be a contest winner as well, you'll still get the additional 5 SBD if you resteemed! Help me get the word out!
Here is a refresher of the contest info:
**GUEST JUDGE! - ***@donvee
This week we're going to have our first Abandoned Shit Weekly Contest guest judge! @donvee is new to the Steemit community, but has been a good friend of mine for at least two decades now. He's the embodiment of rusty old vehicle gems and I'd be hard pressed to think of a better judge for this theme.
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 = 20.000 SBD
2nd Place = 10.000 SBD
3rd Place = 5.000 SBD
Bonus! = 5.000 SBD - Simply Resteem the contest's official post with your entry!
The Theme:
This week's theme = VEHICLES! The photos must be of abandoned vehicles. Cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles, trains, airplanes, boats, zeppelins... space ships. Whatever. Any vessel of transportation.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.
Rule #3 = Only ONE entry per user, per week. Save some content for future contests!
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 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!

^^^This is the photo used for the ASW Contest logo above. It was taken in the ghost town of Leadfield in Death Valley National Park. Again, I'm not a car guy, but I'd assume the vehicle was some sort of truck from the 1910's or early 20's. It couldn't have been much newer as the entire town was gone by around 1927.
