Street photography can also be called "candid photography." It is all about capturing a moment that is unscripted. You don't need to be on the street to do this style of photography. It is a style of documentary photography that is all about capturing what is going on and trying to tell a story through your photographs. I think this type of photography is where the phrase "a picture is worth more than a thousand words" must have come from because a good street or candid photographer can take a picture that tells a story and can have wanting more.
So grab your cameras and hit the streets or a public place to tell some stories through your pictures. I love this style of photography because in this competition we all get to see stories come in from all over the world.
The contest will be broken up into three different tiers. Each will have a different payout for the winners based on what tier you enter into. Here is a breakdown of the winning based on the tiers:
| Place | Professional | Amateur | Beginner |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 1.25 SBD | 1 SBD | 1 SBD |
| 2nd | 0.75 SBD | 0.5 SBD | 0.5 SBD |
| 3rd | 0.5 SBD | 0.25 SBD | 0.25 SBD |
Each contest will be open for submissions for 5 days after the post is made and then closes at 0100 UTC (1800 MST) on the 5th day.
This will give me and any guest judges time to judge the submissions and create the post announcing the winners.
When you enter a photo in the competition, you will state what tier you want to be judged in and locked in for the month at that level.
For example if you enter a photo, you drop the photo in the comment section, state what level of photographer you are, and then give a description of the photograph.
If you want to make your own post and reference the contest in your post, that would be awesome, just remember to post your picture in the comment section along with your post link. Who knows, you may get a visit and an upvote on your post as well as an upvote on the picture. Use the tag #derangedphotography to make it easy to find your posts.
Only one submission per contest. Extra submissions will be ignored.
You can switch your tier ONE time per month, but only if you are moving up into a higher tier, for example if you are currently in the amateur tier, but you think that you have a photograph that you want to enter in the professional tier, you can state that you are changing your tier to professional. You will then be locked into the new tier for the remainder of the month. You are not able to move down to a lower tier, like going from amateur to the beginner tier.
If you do not state wish tier you want to be judged in for the month, I will leave a comment to remind you to do so, but if you don't respond, you will be assigned to a tier and locked in for that month.

I hope you are all excited about this new contest. The contest themes will be different than what you are used to seeing on Steemit, and I am doing this to encourage everyone to get out and shoot new pictures. If you are a life long professional nature photographer, some of the themes may push you to try and learn something new. If you are just a beginner photographer, this is a great place to have fun shooting all sorts of exciting styles and learn in the process.
I am looking forward to seeing all of your great submissions. Have fun taking those pictures!!
. Thank you all for everything. You are awesome.
