How did you celebrate the Christmas holidays and the beginning of the new year? Did you manage to rest and are you looking forward to the next continuation of the competitions on ANC?

Greetings to all supporters of the Amazing Nature Community and I wish you a successful 2023.

As the new year begins, competitions begin again. Maybe you still remember (;-)). that there are two competitions.
The first competition, called FREE TOPIC, does not have a specific focus and is "open" to all possible topics and topics related to nature.
The second competition, Thematic Challenge, will challenge you to complete challenges with a nature theme.
For now, I'm keeping the practice from last year's competitions. This means that both competitions will alternate after a week.

We will start the new year of competitions with a Thematic Challenge.

And we will start with a topic that was already here at the beginning of last year. Why?
I want to make it a "tradition" :-).
In the Czech Republic, the ornithological society announced the fifth annual bird census. It will therefore be the second year at ANC.
The topic of this challenge is:

BIRD‘s HOUR

Your tasks for this challenge:

• set aside an hour one day this week to watch and count birds in one place of your choice
• try to make an easy table with the numbers and names of the birds you saw during the observation hour
• take documentary photos
• add a description of your "event" according to the rules for ANC competitions

You have a lot of work. So check the functionality of the cameras, sharpen the pencils, choose the best place for observation and start completing the tasks of the challenge :-).

I wish you many pleasant viewing experiences.

Rules for participation in the ANC competitions:

• Publish your contribution IN AN AMAZING NATURAL COMMUNITY. You can also use TAG #amazingnature if you want
• CLEARLY state that your entry is an ENTRY in this competition.
• All images must be your own. You can use an amazing nature banner if you like or you can create your own.
• In the TEXT Indicate why these pictures represent YOUR AMAZING NATURE. This is an ESSENTIAL part of this competition – 200 WORDS MINIMUM
• Place a link to your post IN COMMENTARY. You can add an image if you want. It is NECESSARY because I have to publish a link in Discord on Sunday, 5 days later for voting and also for my own compilation purposes.
• The entry window is open ~ 5 DAYS. Pay attention to - CLOSED in the title. Pay attention to the time bar (PeakD)

Prizes to win:
1st: 3 NC
2nd: 2 NC
3rd: 1 NC
I will introduce all participants in the entry section of the announcements, which will be published about a week later on Tuesday (according to my schedule, this may change). This way you will have a nice compilation of all.

How are winners selected?
The entire DNA community will vote for the winners. That's why we created a special competition channel #challenge-entries in DNA Discord (Amazing Nature Contest). Here I will publish a post with the announcement including the winners (Announcement) EVERY MONDAY together with all your contributions (Contributions) EVERY SUNDAY. Each DNA member will be able to assign a "voting emoji" under the items for 24 HOURS. In the end, the lucky winners are three of them. In case of a draw, I will join as a judge.

Note: The above channels on the DNA discord are for voting only! Do not post links to your competition articles and photos here!
I ask the participants of the competition NOT to VOTE for their own article at the discord !! It's not compatible with good manners :-)
