International Women´s Day giveaway: special “flower photo contest” for 30 SBD!
Hi everyone,
Today is the International Women´s Day so let me first congratulate all of our amazing female Steemians on this very special day of theirs. I wanted to come up with something unique today to pay tribute to the “gentler gender” and realized it is the perfect occasion for another special photo contest.
Undoubtedly, flowers are the symbol of the International Women´s Day as they are the most common gift that men give women on this day. Therefore, I decided to pick FLOWERS as the theme of the contest.

Happy Women's day to all the lovely ladies here (including me :D). I wish I could participate in this contest, but sadly, I don't have any picture right now.
The amount of entries is overwhelming! There are some really beautiful flower images out there. However, some great entries are not following the guidelines set in the post. Kindly go through it again to make sure your entry is in compliance. One of the common issues with some of the entries is a missing 50 word description. Have a great night everyone! Tomas
I noticed many do not include the description and I really enjoy the stories. I hope your reminder will prompt more words. Thank you for hosting this awesome contest. I've finally decided which of my flower photographs to share and I'll make sure to write at least 50 words. Following you for more great ideas!
You are going to have a lot of entries at the end of the week to go through. Prepare for a long day. I am guessing there will be around 300-400.
LOL, yeah, a lot to choose from with some amazing ones! I am dreading it already:)
Really a great way to honor women on women's day. keep it up @czechglobalhosts
This my today's photo for a competition and a congratulation of all women on the international Women's Day. The choice of this photo is connected with weather which was in Moscow today. The first days of spring this year were very cold and snow, but today at last there was the sun. And though on the street all the same for the present a frost, sunshine have added festive mood. And all city has been filled up with snow, ice and flowers today!)
For this special day, I have chosen a flower I've taken of a friend's special day - a flower of a wedding cake. In my opinion, everything in a wedding the bride will always remember as they have most likely would have put all their thoughts and energy to make this special day memorable for themselves and the rest of the guest. Then, the bride will start a new journey with her dream partner and live happily ever after :). Happy International Women's Day!
Thanks for holding such a meaningful contest. Here is my entry for it. Women's Day stands for equal rights and equal opportunities. On Women's Day, I had half a day off. So, I together with my colleagues went to the nearby park to enjoy the beauty of nature. Have you noticed the bee staying on a white flower? Hope you like it. : )

Very nice photograph! It's fun to find insects on flowers and get a close look. Happy to hear you had time off work to enjoy nature. I almost entered a photo I took in my sister's yard, with a bee on a flower, for this contest. Instead I chose a tulip photograph this time :)
Wow，it's cool！We took photo of the similar sight. Hope you can win this prize!😊
Photo of the Queen of the night. These flower only bloom at night and last one night. For this reason it is difficult to photograph them from the technical point of view. I took this photo back lighted and using a tripod. This flower is from my garden.
Neat! Thanks for sharing the information. This is an interesting species and excellent photograph!
Thank you for your nice comment.
Thanks for the info.
These flowers grow in my dacha. Every spring they bloom in purple. They are especially beautiful after the rain early in the morning. For this photo, I woke up around 6 o'clock in the morning just after a little rain.

Women love flowers. My main favorite are roses. Red roses have a special effect on me. That's why every Valentine's day, my dear husband don't forget to give me red roses just as a reminder of his love for me. This photo was taken on the recent Valentine's day this year and I displayed it in our dining room. And in life, you gotta smell the roses sometimes, there is truth on this saying.
@czechglobalhosts Gratitude for hosting this contest i.e. for recognizing and commemorating the value of women in our society.
