# Hello World!

This is the ***85th Edition*** of the Photochain challenge. The *Photochain Challenge* is a blockchain-like photography contest. If you would like to know more about, read the [Photochain Challenge INTRODUCTION Post on HIVE](https://peakd.com/hive-194913/@davidesimoncini/photochain-is-back-transfer-on-hive). There, I explain the functioning of the contest and how to participate. I changed the rules of the winner prize some editions ago.

In this post, I'll announce the 2 winners of the **84th Edition** of the Contest. Within the next 72 hours, I'll reward both of them with 1 HIVE SBI - as explained in the rules - and will post in the comment section of the [84TH EDITION](https://hive.blog/hive-190931/@davidesimoncini/photochain-challenge-84th-edition-start) the confirmation of transactions.

Furthermore, I add a practical example in the comment section of the [Zero Edition Post](https://steemit.com/photography/@davidesimoncini/photochain-challenge-zero-edition-start) and you can consult the previous edition to know more about how can the comments be.

# Rules

- One entry each participant

- **NO PLAGIARISM!**

- The duration of the contest: 7 days, from the start announcement post to 3 hours before the Post Payout Time.

- GIFs are allowed only 1) if the duration is less or equal to 10 seconds; and 2) if the key-subjects remain in the foreground for the whole duration of the GIF.

- Editing is allowed, but not creations such as graphic design: this is a PHOTOGRAPHY contest.

- Every Color Cover is allowed, including Black and White.

- Every Theme is allowed: no censorship except for extremely explicit content. The nsfw contents are allowed, but I will not utilize the nsfw tag for the PhotoChain Post: so, if I choose a nsfw photo as a winner, I will not insert it as an image in the official post (only as a mention or a link to the original post)

- IMPORTANT: I invited the participants to use fairly large categories as subjects so as not to sabotage participation. You haven't to use proper names (of cities, places, mountains, species, etc)
For example:
Don't utilize the subject ***snow bear*** but only ***animals***; naturally I will give more importance to the photo of an animal that is not often photographed compared to a simple domestic cat.
REMEMBER! The more general the category used as a subject, the greater the participation in the competition, the greater the prizes in the future.

- Finally, I'll advance with the prizes awarding 2 days approx after the finish of the weekly challenge. I'll write the transaction ID in the winners' announcements post. Excuse me for the delay I sometimes encounter in the transactions.
