HEADS UP FOR A NEW THEMED WIWCONTEST!

---

I thought I would give you the heads-up for next week's wiwcontest! Going forward, I will be choosing a theme each week, and you will be able to submit up to three images for the theme, either in separate posts, or all in one post.

Starting at midnight EST tonight, I will accept only images following the contest theme for the week, which is ANIMALS.

Tomorrow, I will announce the winners of this week's contest and give another reminder about the theme. The guaranteed award for this week's winners is 2 SBD, thanks to a generous contribution by @ shadowspub. Thanks also to @saffisara for her generous monthly contributions which give the awards a boost on one week per month!

Winners will be chosen from all the entries for the week and will be chosen based on:

1. Technical merit
2. A predominance of white in the image
3. Being pleasing overall to the eye.
4. 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.

1. Here are the rules:Photograph an image with a PREDOMINANCE of white (This means YOUR OWN WORK!)
2. Enter up to 3 times following the week's theme.
3. Add the #wiwcontest tag to each entered image
4. 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 award money!
