CONTEST: Younger Than Yesteryear | 15 Steem Giveaway!!
Update!!
Contest Now Ends on the 26th!!!
~15 Steem! Contest: Harkening to Yesteryear~
This week we are going to bring some FUN & HUMOR to Steemit!
And we are the punchlines!
Welcome to the Contest "Younger Than Yesteryear"
Winner Gets 15 Steem!
I was inspired to do this contest after seeing a friend of mine reproduce a photo of her family (her + two sons and husband) from over 12 years prior! In it her husband was holding their now 15 year old son on his hip - just like he was holding his younger son in the photo. It gave me a deep belly chuckle! I immediately knew I wanted to do a similar contest on Steemit!! Depending on how this one goes, there may be more renditions of it. The first one is "Younger Than Yesteryear" and focuses on just you remaking a past photo - no family members or friends (complete details below).
This photo was taken when I was 2 years old and living in Indiana with my mom and dad. They were out gardening and I wanted to help. Well it turned out that not only did I want to help, but I wanted to eat the potting soil! From what I've heard, I loved to eat the potting soil often when we all were in the garden. Judging by my recent photo, not much has changed!
The Objective
Take a photo from your childhood and reproduce it as best as you can.
Only remake a photo featuring yourself (there may be more contests in the future depicting those with your family and friends, so we will keep this one specific.)
Guidelines are as follows...
Read Carefully!
Choose 1 photo from your childhood (up to 12 years old) to replicate & include this in your entry post.
Take 1 photo for this contest that reproduces the image from your childhood as closely as possible!
Tell us the story in a paragraph or two of what was happening in this photo - where were you, about how old, context, etc.
Resteem this post! The more people who participate the more humor we all enjoy!

Contest ends when this post pays out!
We will decide the winner on three categories
- The best execution of the rendition - Attention to detail is the key here. Pay attention to your clothes, objects in the photo, facial expressions, etc.
- The Funniest - Judged by original photo and how funny your older self looks reproducing the photo.
- Most original story - The context written in the description paragraph(s).
With these three categories fulfilled with excellency, we will subjectively choose the post we find the most delight in!!
This is a contest designed to get Steemians Laughing at themselves and with each other!
We're so excited to see what everyone comes up with!
You must fulfill each of the guidelines to be considered as winner!
As usual in our contests, there may be BONUS winners that pop up throughout the contest...
In the past, we've given BONUS winnings to people who encouraged others and engaged on the original post and other Steemian's posts, so stay commenting and upvoting on each other's posts too! You can find them in the tag yesteryear.
Its a really tough challenge and it took 3 days of preparation to come up with this. That is the best i could . I have reteemed the post and even told my friends to join the challenge. Here is a link to my entry: https://steemit.com/yesteryear/@focusnow/younger-than-yesteryear-today-and-18-years-ago
thank you @focusnow for your entry. You put in a great effort, well done. You obviously studied that photo hard because you nailed that posture!
Thanks for that opportunity to recreate the past. I was really challenged by this contest and decided to put all the effort
Isn't it fun! We both had a blast recreating past moments through this contest. NO holding back right?
No holding back. I am ready to follow up on any challenge. Its a nice way to learn about people, places and things. Apart from the small bucks we make if we win, contests give us the opportunity to grow on this platform. I am just 2 weeks old here. Forward ever!!!!
great job. taking part of contests, responding to comments, networking and making high quality content all contribute. Well done so far! <3
Here is my entry. thank for pushing me out of my comfort zone by publicly sharing my dorkiness! https://steemit.com/yesteryear/@walkerland/younger-than-yesteryear-alien-antenna-head-bands-are-cool

Resteemed and I will add it to tomorrow's prompt. :)
haha! too funny! thank you so much. I think your resteem has brought many eyes to this and for that i am very thankful. I think it will bring us all a lot of laughs!! <3
This sounds like so much fun! I also can’t wait to see results. 💗 Resteemed
YES!! Thanks @alaskahippie! So glad you like it! Do you think you'll participate? :)
I unfortunatly don’t have any child hood photos, thieves and moving took most of them. I do have one, but dont have a salmon to replicate, not until the summer 😕
I remember some of the funnier ones, but dont actually have them.
oh sorry to hear that! hmmm well if you wanna try to replicate the salmon one, i wont hold it against ya if the salmon is like a cardboard cutout you drew a salmon on! lol ! :D
Oh this is so wonderfully funny. I think for me, you already won the contest haha. The remake is hilarious and so adorable. I'll definitely be doing this one.
hahah! YAY! so happy to hear that! We are going to share one of Ini, too.. I think there will be many hilarious ones.. can't wait to see what you come up with :D!
So this finally clears up my confusion on that you two share the account :)
Hahha yes! We do share the account. It’s our homesteads name ❤️
Such a beautiful name! I love the name Jewel. Maybe if I ever have a daughter, I'd name her that.
