Hi everyone! Today's the day... the beginning of the third Abandoned Shit Weekly Contest! I'm really excited about it and I hope some of you Steemsters are too. We had a great turnout last week for the "homes" theme and hopefully we can keep that momentum going. Lets get right into it!

**GUEST JUDGE! - ***@donvee

This week we're going to have our first Abandoned Shit Weekly Contest guest judge! @donvee is new to the Steemit community, but has been a good friend of mine for at least two decades now. He's the embodiment of rusty old vehicle gems and I'd be hard pressed to think of a better judge for this theme.

The Contest:

  This is NOT a photography contest.  The subject matter is what's being judged with the Abandoned Shit Weekly contest, not one's skills with a camera.  Honestly, I just want to see some cool abandoned shit.  lol  HOWEVER, as with any photograph, the "wow factor" can certainly be enhanced with a technically sound execution.  Simply put, winners won't be chosen strictly on artistry.  

The Prizes:

1st Place = 20.000 SBD
2nd Place = 10.000 SBD
3rd Place = 5.000 SBD
Bonus! = 5.000 SBD - Simply Resteem the contest's official post with your entry!

The Theme:

This week's theme = VEHICLES! The photos must be of abandoned vehicles. Cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles, trains, airplanes, boats, zeppelins... space ships. Whatever. Any vessel of transportation.

The Rules:

Rule #1 = Your abandoned shit photo must be posted using the tag #aswcontest for one of your tags.  This is crucial so that your entry can be seen/found!
Rule #2 = Your photo must be taken by YOU.
Rule #3 = Only ONE entry per user, per week. Save some content for future contests!
Rule #4 = Tell us what we're looking at!  You don't have to write a novel, but let us know what the picture is of, and where you found it.  That's the most interesting part! Equipment and camera settings can be included at your discretion, but is not necessary.
Rule #5 = Stick to the weekly theme!. 

The Time:

When = New ASW contests will start on TUESDAYS and will end on SUNDAY.  Winners will be announced on Monday with awards distributed then as well. I figure it's a good way to start the week!

The HELP:

HELP! - I'd really like this contest to become an established, weekly feature.  Resteeming the official contest announcement post here would be a huge help in getting the word out, though you do not HAVE to in order to participate in the contest.  I'm just asking as a favor.  Also, just mentioning the contest in/on your entry post would help a lot!

Sort:  

a work of art!

I think that must qualify as one of those "turning refuse into new wildlife sanctuaries". I've seen them do it for underwater reefs and stuff but it's fun that there's one we can see without learning to dive!

You are invited to my town, it is something impressive

I DONT KNOW WHERE OR WHAT THAT IS...and at this point...im too afraid to ask!!!

Great pic though!!!

I will start sorting through my abandoned zeppelin photos immediately! It will be so hard to choose! ;) So glad to see this contest is building momentum...keep up the good work. Upvoted & resteemed!

lol I'm glad someone caught that.

Great post, @vascoracing! If you haven't already, I would suggest that you post your link in a reply directly to @customnature rather than my comment just to make sure it gets seen.

The discord invite link didn't work for me, it says that it is expired.

Thank you for informing me! Can you try it now and see if it's fixed?

It worked for me this time.

This one already!! I makes me think about pirates and seabattles instantly! :)

It that in Bimini?

yup click the link to learn about it.

I love this contest! I've seen so many people posting over the last two weeks. I'm in awe of the amount of abandoned shit people see around. Sadly, I don't think I'll be contributing much to this but consider me a fan!

Well, thanks for supporting the contest either way! There's abandoned shit everywhere; its a hallmark of mankind. I'm sure you can find some... just start to keep your eyes peeled!

I better start searching if i want to impress @donvee

People are cheating please search Google for their images used

I've resteemed sorry I can't upvote my power is too low, and i will also tell my friends to resteem

Thanks for resteeming and spreading the word!
