Gaming Photography Weekly Contest - Theme: Cinematic Shots.

After we had success in our first-ever contest (the New Year-themed contest), now that we've found a dedicated sponsor for the weekly contest, we've decided to announce a weekly contest every Friday with a dedicated theme for each week.

This theme is about you sharing screenshots that are taken from an angle that looks dramatic/cinematic. You need to focus on the composition and the angle of capture and if the scene has any dramatic story, that'll be good too.

You'll just have to show us your gaming photography including screenshots of Cinematic Shots by any means.

Rules:
As it's a contest, there should be some rules to follow, right? And these rules are not meant to be broken, lol.

• Publish a post in Gaming Photography Community showing some gaming photographs following the theme.
• Add the #gamingphotocontest and #contest in the first five tags and then add tags suitable to your post.
• The post must be written in English (you can use other translations alongside English if you wish to).
• The post should have at least 350 original words per language (excluding Hi, Hello, or some common things that you use in your post). You can talk about behind-the-scenes of how you implemented the idea to meet the word counts.
• Show at least 7 photos showing some Cinematic Shots. They can be photos from 7 different moments or can be a single moment from 7 different angles.
• Leave your entry as a comment to this announcement post so we don't miss your entry.
• Attach the link of this announcement post in your entry so your readers can check this out (not mandatory)..
• Mention some of your gamer friends in Hive in your post that you think might be interested in joining the contest (not mandatory).

Big thanks to @melinda010100 (from ecency team) for adding 10000 ecency points to our prize pool which will not be giving away in a single contest.

We'll have 750 points from that fund every week and if anyone else adds any more points then they'll be added to the weekly prize pool.

Do give them a thumbs up and I suggest everyone to use ecency to get a better experience of hive blockchain and earn daily rewards (ecency points) by actively using ecency.

We're looking for more sponsors and we'll keep looking throughout the deadline of the contest so there is a chance for he rewards to increase later. If you wish to be a part of the sponsors (no matter how little it is), send it to @gamingphoto with the memo "contest" and I'll update it in this post.

Deadline to join the contest is: 5 days (120 hours) after this post is announced.

We suggest you (members of the community and contestants of the contest) to check what others are contributing to this community and engage with them through your comments, upvotes, and follows which would make the community stronger in the long run.

You can help the community in several ways,

• Consider delegating a portion of your HP to @gamingphoto which will be used to reward good content.
  

  | 50 HP | 100 HP | 200 HP | 300 HP | 500 HP | 1000 HP |

• You can gift @ecency points to @gamingphoto which will be used to boost quality content or maybe to sponsor contests within the community.
