BTCC held a contest from September to October 2016 to celebrate the best of bitcoin fandom. In the contest, we asked people worldwide to submit photos of their physical bitcoin collectibles.

We received 109 photo submissions from nine countries. A five-member panel of BTCC’s photography and design team judged the photos based on their aesthetic and technical appeal. The top ten photos are below.

The top three winners will receive a BTCC Mint One Bitcoin titanium coin, worth 1.15 BTC ($835).

All top ten winners will receive a BTCC “Make Bitcoin Great Again Cap,” a BTCC T-shirt, and a BTCC pen.

Transcript of what I thought when going through the pictures:

Code:
- Shit, I want that cap/T-shirt and pen
- Nice, Blazed got sixth!
- Many pictures from China
- Not sure why Samantha is in the top 10, but okay
- How does Simin's picture of a cat win from Blazed? You can't even see the coin properly
- Lincoln6Echo is second, nice.
- Damn coin@coin, your pic is niceee. From the ten pictures I have seen this definitely should have won.

Anyway, congratulations to all the winners. Enjoy the BTCC swag/coins!

Code:
- Shit, I want that cap/T-shirt and pen
- Nice, Blazed got sixth!
- Many pictures from China
- Why is that Samantha chick in the top 10? Is she even holding BTCC coins?
- How does Simin's picture of a cat win from Blazed? You can't even see the coin properly
- Lincoln6Echo is second, nice.
- Damn coin@coin, your pic is niceee. From the ten pictures I have seen this definitely should have won.

Hi, the contest wasn’t restricted to BTCC collectibles. The second- and sixth-place prizes went to photos with Casascius coins in them, and the seventh-place prize winner was holding NastyFans coins.

Oh WOW what can I say, I'm humbled... it's the first time I ever won anything! And a 1 BTCC coin is definitely a worthy prize BTCBTCBTC  Grin
Also thanks to BTCC for organizing this, hope we'll see more such competitions in the future. Everyone can take pictures and it's a fun way to spend some time finding the right spot.

As for my entry it was taken on a Samsung Galaxy S6 (on a tripod), this shows that it's not the fancy equipment but the idea that counts sometimes. Of course better cameras can produce amazing results too. However the best camera is the one that is always with you. Smiley

This made my day... Actually my week!

PS: Congrats to everyone else too, hopefully we'll see even more participation in the future.

Oh yeah, I forgot that that requirement was dropped. My apologies for that and I've updated my original post.

Funny enough, that is what I mentioned in the email with my submission: wanted to show the contrast between "The Old Finance" and "The New Finance". Go Bitcoin! Just in time for a nice bull run!!! Smiley

I noticed the well known authentic "blazed table". If that table could speak about the coins lying on that table over the years, then would it tell grand stories Cheesy

- Lincoln6Echo is second, nice.
Lincoln6Echo has finally shown their true face.

... Wondering if "Samantha" is how the average female bitcoin user looks like Cheesy
I know a certain someone from Slack who would not mind.  Lips sealed

Funny enough, that is what I mentioned in the email with my submission: wanted to show the contrast between "The Old Finance" and "The New Finance". Go Bitcoin! Just in time for a nice bull run!!! Smiley
Very Bitcoin friendly background with Citibank and HSBC.  Cheesy

For some reason the pictures loaded very slowly.

What is that BTCC gold coin the 9th place winner is holding?  I need it.

BTCC produced some prototype coins before releasing the Titanium ones. I believe that is a plated coin.

It was featured in their Aprils Fools video: Bitcoin Mining Documentary Aired in China (2m30s mark)

yeah this kind of doggie is not really made for posing because they hate not to move so it was really difficult to get a clear picture.

She would never peel a coin. Waaaay to shiny! Wink

Hah definitely, wasn't sure if there was a NYC town in China similar to "Chinatown" in NYC.
