Hi, travelers and photo lovers!

Today I am very happy to announce the great news that your beloved travel contest on the HIVE platform just got a new shiny sparkling sponsorship, courtesy of @Ecency!

As you know, so far the winners have been sharing 50% of the rewards of the post, announcing their winning entries and the new theme. It has been distributed as 40% for the big winner and 10% for the Honorable Mention.

The winners' cut remains the same 50% and from now on, the big winner will get extra 150 Ecency points and I am rebalancing the beneficiaries to 30% for the big winner and 20% for the entrant, who is selected as the Honorable Mention. This change will come into effect with the next round of the contest. I really hope this makes TravelContest much more appealing!

Let me here express my sincere gratitude to you, @melinda010100, for making all that possible. I really hope this turns into a long-term fruitful partnership!

Here are the freshly updated terms of the TravelContest:

Rules:

One entry per person.

No NSFW content.

Prizes:

One Winner gets 30% beneficiary of the post including the winners announcement plus 150 Ecency points, courtesy of @ecency, thanks so much!
One Honorable Mention may get 20% beneficiary of the post including the winners announcement.
