It's time to wrap up the second round of the challenge and it's nice to see some more entries for the topics. However, I'm still a little disappointed we aren't seeing much from the image users side. It's actually really easy to suggest topics and you will get votes on it plus a chance of being a beneficiary in the next challenge, so don't be afraid to step up and give it a go.

This week we had two entries for crypto:

https://peakd.com/hive-118554/@iodacasamia/crypto-challenge-hive-stock-images-engita

Both superb!

Then for climate we had three:

https://peakd.com/hive-118554/@asklanbudi/stock-images-fog-covers-the-mountains
https://peakd.com/hive-118554/@naisfreedom/hivestockimages-or-two-seasons-in-the-tropics

A nice variety of images from weather to its effects when we get extremes.

I'm going to select a winner from each category and for crypto I think @iodacasamia offered a great selection and for climate I liked the quality captures of @lifeskills-tv.

Congrats to both of you, 10 Hive has been sent your way.

This week's suggestion came from @ligayagardener who is looking for more images to use in his ongoing extreme climate fiction story. Thank you for the suggestion, you will be this week's beneficiary.

How it works

The challenges will run every two weeks. Each round we will have a topic or two for our contributors to try their hand at. We invite everyone to give their feedback on any entries and the best one will win Hive. Meanwhile, we ask anyone who has been looking to use images to tell us what they are looking for in the comments on this post and these suggestions will be put forward as the challenge topics for future competitions, with the suggesting account added as a beneficiary of that challenge post. They will also be invited to judge any entries and pick their favourite submission. If they also choose to use a submission, then all the better. You don't have to be currently looking for images to suggest them, you can suggest anything you may have used or wanted to use in the past or that you think might be in demand.

We invite people to add an upvote to their favourite suggestions and this will play a part in which ones will be selected first for the next challenge.

This week's challenge topics will be:

1:

Fire

2:

The second is more complex and there's a bonus if you can come up with something @ligayagardener can use: A city scene in a world where temperatures have risen and people are struggling to get food, water and survive in general.

Rules

• No plagiarism (obviously).
• Think quality. Will someone want to use your image if it's blurry or badly laid out? Low quality posts will be muted in the search feature
• Make sure you're tagging your submissions correctly.
• Make sure your images fall within legal restrictions for stock images.
• Submit your entry links in a comment on this post, so we don't miss it.
• All images are accepted, not just photographs, as long as they are your own.

We have 20 Hive for the winning entry. All quality entries will be nominated for curation if they aren't already well rewarded. Votes will be given on all good suggestions for images, with the chosen suggestion/s added as a beneficiary on the next challenge post.
