The Official Bitcoin Penny™ Photo Contest =)

[BitcoinPenny]

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.)



Good luck, everyone!

Regards,
Chris

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!

Chris

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

[defcon23]

Man, this sounds exciting.
Looking forward to this.

Category: Donald Trump?

Haha.  

yeah ! trash category if you prefer :d

grtthegreat, We're happy to allow photoshop'd images of our coin. (No purchase necessary.)

I think it is part of the contest to actually have the coin itself in the photo.

I would be happy to send you one if you are in US for this contest

And here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1501251.msg15104069#msg15104069
Enjoy some of my photos!!

Thanks

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! )

Keep those photos coming!

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

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.

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.

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...

Here is my Trump entry:



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

[Lutpin]

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

Misc: Penny in the Nutcracker

(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!
