Dear Steemians,

I apologize for not posting anything about #self-portrait #photo #contest for more than 10 days. I've been on holidays for 10 days & didn't take my laptop cause I wanted to rest properly!

But, I'm back now & continuing with the #contest!

By organizing this #contest I wanted to contribute to the further development & growth of the #Steemit community!

There was only one awarded entry in the 9th week - results are here: https://steemit.com/contest/@careassaktart/results-of-the-9th-week-of-self-portrait-photography-contest

INSTRUCTIONS:

Be creative & make self-portraits not in that common way as the trendy "selfies" but in a high quality way partly describing yourself & your way of life. Every each of us has many different roles to play in life: worker, sportsman, soldier, writer, driver, lover, husband, father, wife, mother, artist, model, waitress, lawyer, dancer, actress, scientist, doctor, singer, musician, politician, manager, nurse, porn star, prostitute, gigolo, pimp... or some kind of an imaginary character - somebody who you would like to be... There is plenty of inspiration for the theme!

Nudes are also very appreciated & welcomed as well as the conceptual & art #photography.

#Photo can be full color, b&w & #monochrome tones.

How to apply for the #contest:

1. Use a #self-portrait tag as one of your tags in the post.

3. Ad a short story / explanation / description to the photo.

4. Your #self-portraits must be your original work as well as the text following! Stolen content will be immediately reported to @steemcleaners.

Example:

Space Travel: Saturn

Saturn is another giant of The Milky Way. A wacky giant. It’s light and cosy, surrounded by his ring, married, it spins and juggles with the hula-hoop. No worries for tomorrow. Its invitation for the party is always opened for all space wanderers, without making any difference between them. It doesn’t evaluate or judge the lost wanderers, but provides them a home, not asking anything in return. Sometimes I get tired of travelling in this physical dimension and in the retrospection of the vastness of my soul, so I accepted the invitation and decided to sit and take a deep breath, satisfied with the goals I achieved and ready for new ones. I ignore the red lights which are blinking constantly because they cannot stop me. Even if they capture me physically and take my freedom away, I will remain free in my heart and mind, since death is only a transformation of energy, just as birth! Thus, both need celebrating!

On the edge of the lips you can see a tiny smile, fascinated and amazed by the beauty of life… With joy and happiness, in unity and trust I hold the hand of a stranger, an alien, and in the dance, in the ring and the circle – the perfect shape – I celebrate life! With a blissful face, every day...

Space Travel is my multimedia project which appeared to me in the spring of 2014 when I came back from India & was visiting my friend in Zadar. I borrowed her bicycle & drove myself all the way to the interactive installation called "Greetings To The Sun" created by the Croatian architect Nikola Bašić... & then it struck me! Suddenly the words were coming to me - the words above - following the 1st portrait - The Sun - out of the Space Travel series...

It would be nice to have a #sponsor who would #delegate some SP so that this #contest can develop further more & that the prizes can be bigger...

By #delegating SP to me for the purpose of this #contest, you become a #sponsor / supporter & you will be mentioned in every next #self-portrait connected post of mine!

I'm looking forward to see your entries!

Please resteem & upvote cause in this way you're surely helping this initiative!
