First of all, thanks to all of you who already participated in the first two contests!
It seems that me trying to keep the rules as short and as simple as possible was not a successful strategy so there was some confusion with regards to the format of the entry.
An entry matching the rules of the contest is a comment that consist of photo(s) and text and that comment is uploaded into the comment section of the corresponding contest post.
There is no need for a separate post!
Let me try to explain my rationale here.
You know the stigma on the platform that people who post more than 2-3 times a day are considered as spammers or farmers. There is no written rule about it but some receive downvotes for posting more frequently than others.
There are no limits with regards to the length of a comment, as far as I know.
There are certain expectations and rules when we all create new posts within certain communities. Those community rules often change without any notice. There is much more liberty when it comes to comments, don't you agree?
I don't want to jeopardize and change your daily routines for posting on Hive
Sometimes a photo tells the whole story. Sometimes a story may need few photos to illustrate it better. It is all up to you how your entry would look and how you interpret the theme of the contest! I just want you to have full freedom here.
I will update the rules and they will come into effect from edition #3 on. Please don't spend more time and update your existing entries, I will consider all of them. Thank you!
Here is how the updated Rules & Notes would look like, please let me know if there is anything that confuses you:
