Can I use a different title in my story/post?
No. You should use the title mentioned in the rules with no additional text_
Can I use other hashtags?
Yes. You can use four other hashtags. Just make sure you include #steemphotoawards as the fifth tag. This tag should appear in the body of your post.
Are watermarks on my images allowed?

I want to enter multiple photos. Can I do this?

I have transferred 2 SBD to @myday and I have included two or more images in my post. Will my entry still count?
No. Your entry will not count. This is a violation of the rules and will be disqualified. To be eligible with more than one photo, you have to transfer 2 SBD for each additional photo. So, for the post to be eligible with two photos you will need to transfer 4 SBD (2 SBD per photo).

As a person who's always been interested in photography and been too unmotivated to do it I'm so glad to see this! I'm more excited to have the chance to enter my photos just to see what people think, as well as see other people's style!
I plan to enter every month which should force me to improve in an area I've always wanted too. Thanks for this chance @myday!
No problem @majimbuu. I look forward to seeing your entries
Should I just place my entry URL at the MEMO section, @myday?
Not sure I understand @littlenewthings?
This way you know whose 2SBD belongs to what entry. Easier to keep track of this way I would think.
Exactly. :p
Ah that makes perfect sense now thanks! Yes that is a good idea! I should update the rules with that.
Is watermark allowed, @myday ?
Absolutely yes it is @littlenewthings.
ok. submitted. :)
(thanks for the initiative)
No problem :)
Hey if I already posted the picture on Steemit, can I still use it? I'll repost it as a "Steem Photo Awards" photo separately.
Thanks for submitting an entry. :)
Good idea! Hope I will find one that is good to participate.
Thanks @dijana969. Good luck :)

Well thanks for resteeming this @stresskiller. Older photos can be entered too so don't discount any shots on film or hard drives!
need to verify with models if they agree or not :)
For sure!
Great idea @myday. You should apply for Team Australia and I will promote this monthly comp in your intro. See here for how to apply.:https://steemit.com/teamaustralia/@choogirl/team-australia-new-recruits-update-02-07-17
Thanks @choolgirl! I'll do that right now!
@choolgirl I have completed everything :)
This is awesome my friend, you are making me want to setup a portrait session now, this is good for the community, Well done.
Thank you @ogmatador. I just hope that I can highlight the great photographers here on @steemit and award them with something.
Getting the word out to photographers will be the hardest challenge.
Maybe we should start a nomination comment thread to communicate this...
Here's the first one... I nominate @photo-trail to think about participating in the Steem Photo Awards. Who do you nominate @ogmatador? #steemphotoawards
very cool! upvoted, followed! and, looking forward
Thanks @ilanaakoundi!
Man, hefty rewards! Count me in! Can't wait to see what kind of results this gets!! Good on ya for creating another contest.
Thanks @chrissymchavez. I can't wait to see the photos I'm sure there will be some incredible ones! Since I've been here I know there are so many talented photographers. I just hope they get recognised with these awards. Thanks for commenting and resteeming.
