THE DAILY STEEMIT SELFIE CHALLENGE – AN ELIMINATION CONTEST FROM PAPA-PEPPER – 50 SBD STARTING PRIZE POOL
Are you willing to take one selfie, every day, for a chance to potentially win hundreds of SBD?
If so, then this contest is for you! Are you an anonymous user and don’t want to get left out? Ski mask selfies or “bandit” style selfies could also count, so don’t let not wanting to show your face stop you from entering.
REGISTRATION
To register for the contest, the rules are simple. Also, it’ll be some good practice.
If you would like to try to play, then you have between now and midnight (CST) on Sunday to enter. All you have to do to register for gameplay is take a selfie of yourself with a piece of paper with your username on it in the photo. If you can manage to take a photo of you with your username and reply to this post with it prior to midnight (CST) on Sunday night, then you will be officially entered.
Once the contest begins, I will make requirements for each round. Perhaps your selfie will need to include a hat for one round, or a type of plant for another. Either way, you’ll have to do your best every day to take a selfie that meets the gameplay requirements or you’ll be eliminated.
This contest will also be a great opportunity to win some SBD, since the prize pool will start at 50 SBD and grow daily from there!
OFFICIAL CONTEST RULES
As some people, like @quinneaker, have noticed, I like to run my contests a little differently. For instance, to participate in this contest, you do not need to follow me, you do not need to upvote my post, and you do not need to resteem it either. In fact, you don’t even need to make a post to enter. All you have to do is reply each day with a selfie that meets the requirements in order to avoid elimination.
Once players have registered, the need to keep an eye out for my daily contest posts. Once the post has been made, all players have 24 hours to take a selfie that meets the requirements. If the photo does not meet the contest requirements or if the player takes too long to reply, they will be eliminated from gameplay.
The prize pool for this contest will continue to grow in each round, and bonus points will be handed out in each round as well. Each bonus point will be worth one SBD, and will be paid out after the player has been eliminated, or when they win the contest. Much like with my STEEM-Pocalypse game, the last person(s) standing will receive 75% of the total prize pool while whoever gets eliminated immediately prior will receive 25% of the same, split between however many players there were.
By entering this contest, you are giving me full permission to use your selfies in contest related posts. Though you do not need to make posts featuring your entries to this contest, you are certainly free to do so if you wish.
HEALTH & SAFETY REMINDERS
Each person has their own comfort level, and I will not encourage people to risk their health or life just to play this game. If you think that you are unable to safely enter a round, then refrain from participating at that point and choose to be eliminated instead. It is better not to play this game than to get hurt or die.
Since we are playing with a global audience, I’ll try my best to have requirements for each round that will work for the majority of people. If, for instance, I chose to have the requirement be that the selfie had to have askyscraper in the background, many of us would be very hard-pressed to fulfill that requirement within 24 hours.
Also, I will not be requiring players to put live scorpions in their mouths for the selfies or things like that, since doing stuff like that is just weird.
Since this is a potentially lucrative contest to be a part of, I am making the official request ahead of time that players not try to take advantage of me. Please be honest and avoid photoshop or other digital editing tools.
Let’s get registered people!
Also, if you want to tell your friends or even do a promo post featuring your registration selfie, please do. The more people that we get playing the more fun that we can have, and perhaps the longer the contest will go, allowing the prize pool to grow even bigger!
I will make sure to allow a minimum of 24 hours after each post for players to participate, but the ones from Friday to Saturday may be a little longer. I just wanted to mention that ahead of time.
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Here's my entry selfie:
Thanks for being such a thoughtful, caring "Papa" and helping Steemit to grow! I look forward to the challenges of the next few days.
In case some newbies don't quite know how to paste an image into a comment, here are some detailed instructions:
(A) go to postimg.org
(B) Select or Copy-Paste your image into the light blue box above
(C) After you are sure you have chosen the correct picture, click on the second link
(D) Click on Reply just below @Papa-Pepper's post and paste in the link corresponding to your image
(E) Verify once more: is this the correct image? Can your ID be seen clearly? If so, click on the blue POST button. Don't switch off until you are sure everything has been correctly uploaded (glitches have been known to occur, so don't wait until the very last minute [2359 CST]).
Good luck to all of you!
Very nice of you. I'll upvote for greater visibility! Thanks.
Wow! You've done me a great honor by promoting my post even above yours! I'm always glad to help fellow Steemians in any way I can.

I'll give it a try.
I'm 3 days into steemit...how exactly do I upload a image on a comment like this?
There might be other ways of doing it as well, but for me, I upload my image onto imgur.com and copy and paste the .jpg image link into the comment box. Hope that helps :)
Thanks to you both! I'm going to give it a whirl!
Rank 50 in just 3 days!!! WOW!
Anyway, just drag the photo from your computer file into the text box. Very simple!
I upload mine to imgur.com or postimg.
I have the Imgur link but than what?
...then cut and paste your link into the comment.
I used postimg.org
I used the 2nd markdown code and it worked for me.
Cut and paste the code into the comment.
Check the preview to make sure your picture is showing up.
If your picture doesn't show, try to cut and paste one of the other options.
One of the top 4 options in postimg.org should work.
Cheers.
Hey! Go to a new tab and post new article.
Upload an image into that new article with normal button.
Copy the code into this comment, then never post new article.
Good luck!
Good point!
Hi, I am so excited to participate in this selfie things! I can share this experience with my husband. Thanks papa-pepper for making different and special activities!
Thanks papa - this is one of those things we can do as a family!
Aha! There will be two players from your family! Wise choice! More opportunity to win!
LOL! Good! Can't wait to have you in!
This seems like a fun and harmless contest :) I'm in it to win it!
Wow. You are so beautiful
I was going to say the exact same thing
Thank you :)
welcome
You are way too beautiful. I think we should all just go home. I have found the winner. I dont want to compete with you. Lol..
Thank you. :) This should be lots of fun! Best wishes.
I left a comment in one of ur post at ur blog
I'll try to keep it harmless!
Make sure to integrate glitter to one of the selfies...please :) lol
My phone takes such high rez pics I had to shrink it... and it's still kinda big!
Lol!
Thanks for the contest. Selfies are my game. 😎
I feel like those glasses might be photoshopped @carrieallen.
;-)
OMG! How could you tell?!
I kid. Those are pretty much a permanent fixture on my face... unless I feel like falling. LOL! 😆
Alright! Be ready Monday to get started! Remember to watch every day for the new theme so you don't get eliminated!
I shall do my best! 🙃
how do you upload images?
To upload in a comment you need to put the pic somewhere so you can copy the web address.
I use Google Photos, as my phone is already connected. I just have to go to photos.google.com and my most recent pic (selfie I just took) is there. Click on it to view THEN right-click and copy image address. Then you'll need to paste it in here with the the markdown code for a picture.
Pictures in markdown:
![title of pic](image address)
You don't NEED a title, but DO leave in the brackets.
You can also upload images to Imgur and get a link that way.
Good luck!
You start a Post.
You upload the image clicking on "selecting them":
Insert images by dragging & dropping, pasting from the clipboard, or by selecting them.
You copy the code and you paste it in your reply.
agreed! We run our photos through microsoft paint, which has an option to change size, we put it down to 33 percent, which means we only are uploading one/ninth of the original resolution!
Sounds really good.
Will give it a try.
Oh, @papa-pepper, thanks for this contest!
I'll try my best (rhyme :)
And I upvoted/resteemed/followed
Very nice! Glad to have you joining in!
Aha! The man himself! Ready for action!
@happymoneyman Selfie Contest
Honored to finally play an @papa-pepper game!
Lol! I almost did one upside down! 🙃
Haha, awesome and random. I liked your shot too.
This contest will be fun.
LOL! You're getting ahead of the game!
haha, I was inspired. Hopefully I didn't use up all my selfie mojo on the intro.
Wow I love your style
Thank you. This contest will be a good time for all of us. Can't wait to see your selfies too.
Lol
Wow
This is creative!
You would have laughed seeing me try to line up the phone and paper upside down. It would have been funny as a video with me fumbling around.
Hahahaha...
Ur effort is highly appreciated bro
But please don't set the bar too high for the rest of us.
I don't want @papa-pepper to start asking everyone to do that upside down thing lol
haha, thank you. I think I spent most my creativity on that one, so don't worry.
What an eye-catching picture! Upvoted!
Loving your sunglasses
I hope that you will like it too!
