Hello Nature Lovers !

VLOG: I would like to cordially invite you to another great week of the Amazing Nature Contest for Vloggers. There were already some excellent entries regarding how amazing nature can be in in this very first episode of the vlog format and I am sure that there is still so much more to see ^^ .. To participate in #amazingnature just create a video that shows how amazing nature is for you personally. This can be anything from a beautiful film about a walk through botany, a visit to the zoo, or whatever comes to your mind when you think about nature.

What is the Purpose of the Contest ?

I am a huge lover of nature and really enjoy to take pictures of all the lovely things that surround me every day, no matter if those are plants, animals or landscapes. I found Steemit to be a brilliant place to find and watch nature pictures from all over the world. Now that I got in touch with one nature vlogger here on steemit, I found that I enjoy this too ^^ There is such a diversity of great content out there, thanks to all of you, from different perspectives and out of various motivations. I would like to collect all those beautiful and amazing stories in a compilation, also I am not sure if this will be a weekly, monthly, or occasional one on the end, so that you can all benefit from the beauty that we are facing all the time, but so often are not able to appreciate in the modern times we are living in.

Contest Rules :

• Use #amazingnature as FIRST TAG and topic of the post and CLEARLY MENTION that your post is an ENTRY for this contest. This assures that this contest can grow and reach out to as many nature lovers as possible.
• As an ALTERNATIVE you can also use the #hive-127788 TAG prior to #amazingnature as the first one. It is the tag for the AMAZING NATURE COMMUNITY.
• The video that you use in your post have to be your own. You can use the amazing nature banner in your post if you like or create your own.
• Please to SHOW US YOUR AMAZING NATURE in your video and STATE IT IN YOUR TEXT why it is representing your amazing nature. This is an ESSENTIAL part of this contest.
• Drop the LINK to your post IN THE COMMENTS below so all participants can find it easily and fully enjoy this weekly collection. It is also NECESSARY as I have to post one link to the Terminal on Wednesday, 10 days later, for voting and also for my own compiling purposes. Also, please add a picture that I can use for the next announcement post.
• Please submit only one post per contest. Of course you can do more, but I will stick to the first entry per Steemian.
• The entry window is open for 10 DAYS.

Possible Topics :

As nature covers an incredible wide range there is really anything possible. Amazing Natures categories could be anything from the following topics:

• Botany
• Zoology
• Geology
• Landscapes
• Philosophy
• ... Surprise us ^^

Prizes to Win :

• 1st Place : 3 SBI
• 2nd Place : 2 SBI
• 3rd Place : 1 SBI

I will always try my best to link and present all participants of Amazing Nature Vlogging format in the entries section of the announcement posts that will be published roughly TWO WEEKS LATER ON A SUNDAY (depending on my time schedule this may shift some time ^^). This way you will have a nice compilation of them all. As an special feature, the new title picture of the contest will be created from the entry of the contest winner. This time it is from @.

How are the Winners choosen ?

The voting will be done by the members of the Steem Terminal community. For this purpose the Steem Terminal was so kind to create a special contest room in their Discord. Here I will post the announcement post (contests-and-such) ona a Sunday together with all your entries (adalger-contest) on the WEDNESDAY 10 DAYS LATER. Every member of the Terminal will be able to assign "voting emojies" under the entries for 2 days and in the end those three with the most of them are the lucky winners. This I hope should lead to a more objective consideration than just involving myself as a judge ^^

Steem Terminal Discord Server:

If you want to vote for the entries, feel free to join us on the Steem Terminal Discord:

It is a great location for learning about Steem, Discord, and Steem-related communities, full of nice people that you may ask if you need assistance, with nearly everything ^^ It also host the Redfish Rally, a funny challenge for all those new here. You will find documents to assist you, a place to learn and practice, and find out about the many opportunities to connect with other Steemians. So why not joining us? You will not regret it ^^

The first winner of the #amazingnature vlogging contest ever was chosen to be @bambuka. He is a Russian nature blogger, and if he wouldn't have entered here already, I definitely would have featured him in the picture contest ^^ His post is dedicated to our cute little fury squirrel fellows. It is a very cute one. So give his entry and his whole blog a visit. You will like it for sure :)

Here is the link ^^

Here we have the entry of @sallybeth23. I actually only knew here for beautiful pictures of landscapes and for being a lover of cats and naturalmedicine, but I am glad she tried a video here. Her entry shows some footage of the wildlife in the Jungle of Costa Rica. It is soo beautiful and every second of it highly enjoyable ^^ .. Thank you very much for this great video. Please go on with that. You have a hidden talent there :)

I thank all of you who so greatly supported the Amazing Nature Contest so far. I never expected that it would evolve like this, or that I would even handle vlogger, hehe ^^ .. Lets us see how this format will evolve. Together we can make it a place as great as the regular contest already is, thanks to you all :) .. Of course this new format is open for all kind of critics that can increase the quality of the contest and I am always happy about anyone who wants to join us on this little adventure. Let's see how this vlog contest will work out ^^
