Bitcoin Forum

Inspired by so many lovely photographs of our little coins, we've decided to host an official Bitcoin Penny™ photo contest! So grab your camera and a Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coin, open your favorite photo editing program, and start sharing those awesome photographs!

The Five (5) Photo Contest Categories

• NATURE
• TECHNOLOGY
• CURRENCY
• DONALD TRUMP
• MISCELLANEOUS

The Official Rules

The official rules are subject to change. The submission deadline is June 30, 2016. One entry per category per person. Participants may edit/change/substitute any or all of their photo submissions until the contest deadline, at which time the last submitted photo will be considered the valid photo submission. Five winners will be selected. One winner from each category will be chosen by the community. The official community vote will begin after the submission deadline. In the case of a tie, the deciding vote will be cast by The Bitcoin Penny Company. Participants may win in no more than one category. If any participant receives the most votes in two or more categories, that participant will be deemed the winner of the category in which he received the most votes. The winners of the other categories will be the participant with the second most votes, and so on. By participating in this contest, you agree to give The Bitcoin Penny Company permission to use any or all of your submitted photos for promotional purposes. All submissions must adhere to BitcoinTalk policies and may not include offensive or derogatory language and/or visual expression in regard to any race, religion, sex, sexual preference, or country of origin. Making fun of Donald Trump is totally acceptable.

The Prizes

Each of the five (5) winners will receive a very special roll of 2016 Bitcoin Penny™ DAVE coins featuring his or her winning photograph. (Please see the example below.)

Shit... I'll think of something and get back to you. ;D

Good timing, according to tracking, mine arrived today.
Will take some time to think and add my entries in the regarding categories below.

To start things off, here's a quick snap of some 2016 coins in a pair of GH Bass Weejuns camo penny loafers from the Spring 2013 collection. (Look closely, because they're camouflaged.) I'll place this photo under Miscellaneous.

Too bad my feet are a smidge too wide for these 10D, because I'd totally rock them! :'(

What shoes?   ???

I love you TheNewAnon135246.

i havent a really good camera ( as i took it with my phone  ;D ) but i share it !

MISCELLANEOUS category.

<Reserved>

But is it necessary to have a BitcoinPenny coin? Or should I just somehow photoshop it in a pic I snapped in my vacations?

yeah ! trash category if you prefer :d

https://i.imgur.com/NOgSz4r.jpg?1

Defcon23, that's an AWESOME photo! I love it. ;D


grtthegreat, We're happy to allow photoshop'd images of our coin. (No purchase necessary.) Please feel free to use any of the images which have been provided directly by The Bitcoin Penny Company (on our website, Instagram account, etc). However, if you'd like to use the images provided by any of our past or recent customers, then you will have to get their individual permissions.

We look forward to seeing some clever photoshop'd photos. ;)

Regards,
Chris

Yes, we'd prefer the actual coin, but we'll accept photoshop'd submissions for those without coins.

However, there's really no good excuse for not having a coin, since our forum member minerjones has generously offered to send one. Thank you, minerjones!  :)

As for the photos... I love gnomes! (You gnome-y so well, minerjones! ;D)

Keep those photos coming!

Regards,
Me

Love the Superman photo submission! ;D

Me

The photos are really nice, I think I need really good pictures to beat you. :P

And wow, that was a real generous offer from your side, but unfortunately I'm not from US and the customs duties here in India are a lot too.

Thanks for the permission for the usage of images. I'll try my best to cleverly Photoshop the coin. :P

We have several customers from India, and we've sent all sizes of packages to them. If the coin is inside a simple envelope, such as a yellow 7x4" bubble mailer, with a short letter / card /note inside, then it'll post for about $3-5 USD to India and arrive within 7-10 days. Maybe if you paid for the shipping? Just an idea...

Regards,
Me

Here is my Trump entry:

https://i.imgur.com/7IjY14t.jpg?1

Seems like he can't handle the Bitcoin Penny greatness!

I've added my first entry to the thread, more to come soon.

(My camera isn't the best either, as quickly I took that one with my phone, but welp...)
You don't want to see what happened after that, but I can tell you, it got pretty graphical between those two!

I didn't quite get the bolded text part. Please elaborate sir.

It's just for ease at custom
but nevermind if you can PM me your address in India - i will send you one :)
I'm from India

Sent you a PM.

I am thinking of photoshop-ing some pics back from my vacations because they highlight the Nature theme.

Nature:

Trees have started growing a new fruit this year and they say it tastes like COPPER. :P

HIGH RES IMAGE (1000px) (https://i.imgur.com/TXAKA8c.jpg)

Technically speaking, if the envelope is sent as a letter as opposed to package, then it should have some sort of letter, note, or card inside. That's all. Sky is correct, it's an international customs thing. ;)

And that is a generous offer, Sky. Thank you. :)

Keep those photos coming, everyone!

Me

They do look different and great!
Love the Black and Reddish one :D

I will take some better pics soon

Here's my entry for NATURE... Edit - Titled "Penny & The Pitchfork" :)

https://i.imgur.com/YLrFeO5.jpg

very nice ! well done.

That's really cool it looks like it went through a 19th century fire. I tried blasting one using a propane torch on high, but it just charred it and didn't work out well  :'(

A slower & shorter heat gave me this, which is overall a bit nicer.. the back is sort of bland though, just darker like a normal, older US penny.

Can't think of better ones. Haha. :)

Great uploads bro!

Lovely  :o

To make it easier during the public vote, please add titles to all your photos. (You can even title it something like "Untitled #5," if you'd like, as long as it has a title.)

Then during voting, we don't have to keep re-posting our favorite photos. We can simply write something like:

Technology -- minerjones -- "Mr. Robo-Raptor"
Miscellaneous -- defcon23 -- "Dancing Shiva"
Etc.

Sound good?

Regards,
Chris

Sounds good, I already did that.
"Penny in the Nutcracker"

Updated mine, as well. :)

I love this photo, Sky! And that coffee grinder doodle is one of my favorite doodles of all time! ;D

Thanks for sharing,
Chris

PS -- As for the deadline, let's make it flexible with regard to the contestant's local timezone. If it's still June 30 where you live, then feel free to still submit. ;)

Thanks ;D
That's my whole collection , look at the egg like NFC chip :D


Yeah, it was my first doodle - it's the best grinder i had so far for my Espresso beans  ;)

~Sky

Kudos for this one. Seeexyyy! Maybe calls for a retake on the lighting on that top coin. But this one's still by #1 for sure.

*** No more photos, please. The submission deadline has expired. ***

Well, it's time to start the vote. ;D

Let's allow the vote to run for one week with a vote deadline of July 7, 11:59 PM EST (Check the time HERE (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/usa/new-york).)

Please vote for one photo per category. The categories are:

• NATURE
• TECHNOLOGY
• CURRENCY
• DONALD TRUMP
• MISCELLANEOUS

When voting, be sure to include the category, the contestant's name, and the title of the artwork. For example:

Technology -- minerjones -- "Mr. Robo-Raptor"
Miscellaneous -- defcon23 -- "Dancing Shiva"
Etc.

After the voting deadline has passed, we'll tally the votes and announce the winners. :)

Good luck, everyone!

Regards,
Chris

can we vote for ourselves ? ;D

And i hope non-active and total noob accounts vote do not get counted :/

Don't forget this is public voting, everyone can see you! :P

Can we buy votes for the Donald Trump category? (#topical?)

---

Time to have a look at all the entries once again.

I was just curious :D :P

---

Thanks :D

will put up for rest  soon :D

So hard to decide ;D

PS - didn't know we were allowed to do more than one pic per category :'(

Ok, this pretty much killed an hour, and it was really really really DIFFICULT to choose from most categories, so many were so good!

NATURE - Lost penny in the woods - wtbbs
TECHNOLOGY - Mr.Roboraptor - minerjones
CURRENCY - World Hand - chronicsky
DONALD TRUMP - A realisitic (terrible) cartoon - miffman
MISCELLANEOUS - Blacklight Special - minerjones

Thanks!  :)

My Vote:

NATURE - Rock solid! - Lutpin
TECHNOLOGY - Scaling Factor Penny - defcon23
CURRENCY - World Hand - chronicsky
DONALD TRUMP - THE TRUTH - minerjones
MISCELLANEOUS - The Bitcoin Penny postcard - Mitchell

It's too difficult. Too many amazing options to choose from. :D

I vote

TECHNOLOGY -
Mr.Roboraptor - minerjones

DONALD TRUMP -
A realisitic (terrible) cartoon - miffman

You didn't know correctly, my friend. ;) One pic per category per contestant. That's the rule. In the case that someone may have submitted more than one photo in a single category, that someone must decide which photo they'd like to officially submit, then officially withdraw the others from the contest. As stated in the OP:





Absolutely! Please feel free to vote for yourself. I would! ;)

And I agree on the new accounts. Let's say, votes are valid only by accounts created prior to the official announcement of the contest on June 6, 2016. Accounts created after that date are not eligible to vote in the contest. I believe that's fair. Agreed?



LOL  ;)

Regards,
Chris

Thanks for the list, minerjones! ;) Although, we'll need to adjust it once some of the contestants withdraw photos from the contest. One photo per category per person. That's the limit.

Regards,
Chris

Not a submission, but a quick photo from this afternoon... ;)

Regards,
Chris

https://i.imgur.com/SBb2eTB.jpg

I just envision you right now working on an excel sheet tallying up votes and such in cool colors and then posting a screenie later! :D

Just kidding. Well.. maybe not!  8)

Thanks, just checked mine, going to edit my post and vote for myself on nature I guess, sorry! I don't really like how we are choosing the winners here to be honest, but hey, not my contest!

Thanks again to both miner and Chris!  :)

I have not submitted any photo here, but I like the submission from the participates, if I am eligible to vote here are my votes:

NATURE - Plant #2 - minerjones
Technology - Penny Tunes - Lutpin
Currency - World Hand - chronicsky
Donald Trump - Strohdumm - Lutpin
MISCELLANEOUS - SUPER-BITCOIN PENNY MAN -  minerjones

Thanks again, minerjones! You're the best! :)


You're totally eligible, and we thank you for participating in our little photo contest by casting a vote. ;)

Regards,
Chris

So that's how we do it now? Alright, two can play that game.
Not a submission, but a quick photo from 5 minutes ago :P

https://i.imgur.com/0P1kM34.jpg?1

hahah great :D

That should be good :)
I need to edit mine , since MJ removed the one i had chose in misc category

---

I'm with you on my currency one ;D

---

Thanks for your vote :)

---

sorry to see that you won nothing :(

Putting my vote again after revision ;D

NATURE - Penny & The Pitchfork - owlcatz
TECHNOLOGY - iPenny - Cryptoheadd
CURRENCY - Euro Penny's - defcon23
DONALD TRUMP - A realisitic (terrible) cartoon - miffman
MISCELLANEOUS - Blacklight Special - minerjones

It's alright, I lost with bitcoin swag. And I had luck with the coins themselves, so I guess you can't have both.

---

Anyway, to not completely derail the thread, I still can't decide who to vote for, there are several awesome entries in all categories, I have to agree with cryptoheadd on that.
Also thanks to all who have so far voted for mine, I'm not the most creative guy, but I gave it a shot. I'm glad some of you like them.

Here`s my votes:

NATURE- Plant #2 - minerjones
TECHNOLOGY- Penny Tunes - Lutpin
CURRENCY- World Hand - chronicsky
DONALD TRUMP- Sweet Tooth - defcon23
MISC- Penny in the Nutcracker - Lutpin

I'm still out of town with limited time and wi-fi access, but I'll be casting my own votes (they won't count, but I want to play too!) when I return home on Tuesday morning. I already have a few favorites, but I'd like to refresh my memory. And it may take a long while to sort thru all the great photos! :)

Thanks again, everyone!

Regards,
Chris

@minerjones, Thanx for this awesome list you have made !  :D

by the way , as i have saw halving having 2 submissions in trump category , i wil keep only "sweet tooth" , in this category please remove: "I am looking soooo good"  ;)
Thank you in advance !


 my submission Vote:    

MISCELLANEOUS / SUPER-BITCOIN PENNY MAN / MINERJONES
NATURE: Rock solid! /LUTPIN
Currency - World Hand - chronicsky
Donald Drumpf: Strohdumm /LUTPIN


 ;D

Thanks ;D

Only a few more days to cast your vote, and everyone is welcome! (Voting is for everyone, not just for contestants.)

Good luck! :)

Regards,
Chris

Chris : one important point ... i think people how have submited  pics , should MUST vote... ( excluding their own submissions , indeed...)
cause if  only few participants submit their vote , users who particiate and dont have voted are indeed avantaged .... this would not very fait for user who have submited their pictures and their votes.... indeed...  dont you think?  ::)

Totally the same for me and if there was an overall Winner i would chose

Nature - Minerjones !

Jokes aside i don't think  that someone would vote for themselves :D

I should probably bring in my votes before the deadline runs out.

NATURE - Boudah pennytation - defcon23
TECHNOLOGY - iPenny - cryptoheadd
CURRENCY - Coins, The Old and The New - wttbs
DONALD TRUMP - Can't Handle It - TheNewAnon135246
MISCELLANEOUS - Blacklight Special - minerjones

---

You should post them yourself instead of quoting, just to make sure.
Also be aware that Plant #2 is not up for votes, the official entry from minerjones is "Copper Gnomes, Ahoy!!", all other pictures in that category are retracted/not voteable.

wow! it's so hot i want to touch it :D

yeah indeed... but they could choose to dont vote , and then to be advantaged in comparaison to people who have voted ... ( and by the way ,  gived their vote to over participants .. )  understand ?

hu ! ;)

maybe good thing to edit the title and add something with VOTING or VOTE NOW

Wait, I thought Chris said to go ahead and vote for yourself? Did that change? I can change mine, not a biggie if so. ;)

Nah! you can still vote for yourself , we were just talking about how no one would :3

yeah ! ( doodle idea)

That is however, according to my count, and up for possible errors.

defcon,

Thanks for the comment. I definitely see your point.

However, I'm not sure that I'm comfortable with forcing contestants to either vote or be disqualified. I think the best solution is to allow any contestant (who may be concerned about an advantage) to either simply not vote or vote for himself.

On a side note, I admire your ability to notice the little loopholes. You'd make a great lawyer! :)

Regards,
Me

This is the last day to vote (or to change your votes), so good luck to everyone! ;D

I already had included the votes by yogg via edit, so some (little) changes to the winners.
My Rock Solid! entry doesn't win, wttbs is the sole winner in that category.
There's however a tie between Xprim777 and minerjones in the misc category.

UPDATE: Regarding the final totals for the NATURE category, I've re-counted and quoted the following votes:

Penny & the Pitchfork - owlcatz (4) -- WINNER






Lost Penny in the Woods - wttbs (3)





Therefore, according to my official count (and re-count), the winner in the NATURE category is owlcatz with four (4) votes for "Penny & the Pitchfork.

As for the tied categories of DONALD TRUMP and MISCELLANEOUS, I have casted my own votes to decide the winners of those categories.

Thank you for everyone who participated in our little contest! So many great photos, everyone! ;D

(Winners will be hearing from me shortly via PM.)

\o/ Amazing !
Thanks everyone for voting, congrats to the other winners, and to minerjones too, it was close between us :)

If we're 100% correct, it wasn't.
You can only win one category, which is the technology category in the case of mj.
Regardless whether the tie was being broken in favor of mj or you, you would have won the misc category.
If a user wins 2 categories, they are chosen winner in the one with the most votes and the other category moves to the user with the second most votes.
You were winner even before cjb announced the winners of the ties.

Anyhow, this is supposed to be fun and I'm riding the rules again, doh!
Thanks to everyone who voted for me, congratulations to the other winners and to everyone who didn't come out on top, I hope you win something in the next one (*wink* to BitcoinPenny).
This was fun, I'm glad I took part.

Oh you're right,  I didn't notice he won the tech category ( I'm tired )  :D. Whatever, great contest :)

Congrats to all! We were close Lutpin  ;)
