I think you get the idea about the possible topics, there's endless ideas. Just make sure the topic fits the core-theme of the community and ask me in the comments below if you're unsure.
A few suggestions for your post
- Don't plagiarise photos or text - It won't end well for you
- Use your own photos as much as you can over stock images
- Present your post well, in-focus images and great text
- Ask me in the comments below if you want more information
The prizes - 30HBD
I'll be selecting the winners and my decision will be final of course. The three sponsors of the prizes are @meesterboom, @tarazkp and me, @galenkp and I'll be distributing the HBD between the winning posts. I will also being curating on the really good ones.
The winners will be announced in a post soon after the contest deadline and the HBD transfer will happen subsequently.
Remember, this is a contest, so take your time and bring your best effort to maximise your chance of success.
