# Get rewarded for sharing
I have started rewarding Steemians who share their photos on a daily basis with upvotes and 'XP'. You can read more about this in the following two articles: [this](https://steemit.com/blog/@juliank/more-in-depth-xp-explanation) and [this](https://steemit.com/blog/@juliank/starting-tomorrow-you-will-earn-xp-each-time-you-participate-in-the-contests-1511279080-455031)

# Photography contests
You might know me from my two daily photography contests with exciting categories every day. These will stay the way they are. However, since photography is much more broad I want to add 37 new categories for which you will be rewarded with upvotes and XP. There are no contests running for these new categories. There is an overview below.

# How does it work?
 It is really simple start using the correct hashtags when you share your photography here on Steem(it). Twice a day you will receive an automated upvote by @photocontests and earn 5 XP per photo. As you gain more XP over time the value of the upvote will grow.

# TL:DR Share & tag your photography for upvotes & XP
