I explained in the [Introduction Post](https://steemit.com/contest/@davidesimoncini/photochain-challenge-the-blockchain-like-photography-contest) that everyone can participate by submitting his/her own photo in the comment section. The photo **must** *contain* the **2 Key-Subjects** that will be communicated in each post of the New Edition.

# 7.Rules
- **NO PLAGIARISM!**

- When I choose a winner, I check his/her profile. If the author is to the attention of [@steemcleaners](https://steemit.com/@steemcleaners) or/and [@cheetah](https://steemit.com/@cheetah), I will not confer the title. If you are in the blacklist of these accounts, consult one of their [FAQ Page](https://steemit.com/steemit/@cheetah/faq-about-cheetah).

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

- For the firsts 5 weeks, there will be no restrictions. Later, the winners of the week cannot win the contest the following week; if they want, they can still participate, but not win.

- Editing is allowed.

- 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.
