Hello Nature Lovers !

titleAN.jpg

I would like to cordially invite you to another great week of the Amazing Nature Contest. There were already so many excellent entries regarding how amazing nature is in the past episodes, thanks to all of you, but there is still so much more to see! ^^ To participate in the #amazingnature contest just write up a post and explain how amazing nature is for you personally ^^

What is the Purpose of the Contest ?

I am a huge nature-lover and really enjoy taking pictures of all the lovely things that surround me every day, no matter if plants, animals or landscapes. Hive to be a brilliant place to watch these while simultaneously reading and learning about nature from all over the world. There is such a diversity of great content, thanks to all of you, from different perspectives and out of various motivations. This contest attempts to collect all those beautiful snapshots and their amazing stories in a weekly compilation so that you all can benefit from the beauty that we are facing all the time, but so often are not able to appreciate in the modern and fast paced times we are living in.

#amazingnature is at home in the DNA-Discord, a organization run by people for the people, with the aim to foster and densify nature-appreciation in the blockchain. DNA is also the home of the #featheredfriends and the @fungilovers communities.

I will present all participants in the entries section of the announcement posts that will be published roughly one week later on Sunday (depending on my time schedule this may shift ^^).

How are the Winners chosen ?

The voting on the winners will be done by the whole DNA community. Therefore we created a special contest channel in the DNA Discord (Amazing Nature Contest). Here I will post the announcement post including the winners (Announcements) EACH SUNDAY together with all your entries (Entries) EACH FRIDAY. Every member of DNA will be able to assign "voting emojis" under the entries for 24 HOURS. In the end those three with the most are the lucky winners. I will engage as a judge in case of a draw ^^

THIS WEEKS WINNERS


The winner of this weeks contest is @derekrichardson with his entry about hiking in the Grand Canyon. The posts is about the hike from the Royal Arch to the South Bass on the South Rim where he also set up a camp together with his mom. It is a super beautiful photographic tour that manages to capture the beauty and the diversity of the whole area in a fanstastic way .. Thank you for another of your awesome hiking tours ;)

@derekrichardson


In his entry @pablo1601 shows us in a great way that you can find nice walks where you can enjoy nature without getting too far from our cities. He shows us some beautiful walks through fields full of trees and many birds, that at this time of the year are giving the first flying lessons to their chicks. We get so beautifully reminded, that we can simply take our children outdoors, not only do they learn a lot through observation, but also get encouragedto enjoy and love nature which is very important since they are the future and need to learn the value and importance of keeping our planet safe in order to continue enjoying it .. Thank you very much for this breautiful and thoughtful entry ^^

The entry from @popurri is about a family of ducks and the love that the parents give while taking care of their six ducklings. The scenerey was pictured in the Rosedal Park in Palermo, Buenos Aires, and shows us how nature can provide us with the tranquility we need in such difficult times .. Thanks you for the entry ^^

DNA - Densifying Nature-Appreciation :



IMG_20200208_120948.png


DNA is an organization to foster and DENSIFY NATURE-APPRECIATION which aims to establish REPORTS OF BIODIVERSITY DATA that is contributed by all of us Hiveans and subsequently cataloged.

Therefore DNA searches for HIGH-QUALITY posts that aim to DESCRIBE and determine the BIODIVERSITY AROUND YOU with added EXPLANATIONS and INFORMATION. For these informative posts they offer a CURATION SERVICE using the @dna.org account. It is also a CURATION TRAIL. Just add the #dna TAG if you think that any of your posts is what they are looking for.

At the moment DNA is also the home of the #amazingnature for all your post about the amazing nature all around us and also the home of the #featheredfriends hosted by the lovely @melinda010100 🦢 for all you great posts about our feathered friends and the #fungifriday hosted by the amazing @qwerrie 🍄 for all your posts about fungi and mushrooms ^^ But we hope that more nature related communities will join, or maybe some Hiveans start their own little project there ;) .. Maybe even you?


FEATHERED FRIENDS COMMUNITY

FUNGI LOVERS COMMUNITY

If you are INTERESTED in DNA, please do not hesitate to ask about it, or directly JOIN US in the DNA DISCORD ;)

The Terminal & Discord :







There is another initiative here on Hive that I would like to bring close to you as I absolutely love them, The Terminal:

THE TERMINAL DISCORD

It is a great location for LEARNING ABOUT HIVE, Discord, and Hive-related communities, full of nice people that you may ask if you need ASSISTANCE, with nearly everything ^^ You will find documents to assist you, a place to learn and practice, and find out about the many opportunities to form CONNECTIONS with other Hiveans.

It host the REDFISH RALLY, a funny challenge for all those that are new here to the world of Hive. The Terminal also hosts the HEYHAVEYAMET project by @heyhaveyamet, which introduces all new Hiveans on a daily basis, so that you don't have to search for them ^^


THE TERMINAL COMMUNITY

So why not joining us in the THE TERMINAL DISCORD? You will not regret it ^^

Hi there everyone ^^

Congratulations to the winners of this round, @derekrichardson, @pablo1601 and @popurri ^^

Also, the restructuring of the new moderator system is fully implemented now. @bucipuci @nelinoeva and @redheadpei are doing a great job in curation. You can watch their weekly curation posts that are always pinned in the community channel. @juanbg also published some awesome nature-news post already, which are so well researched and presented and a joy to read through ;) .. Thank you Mod-Team for this amazing work in initializing the new setup .. its great ^^

In addition we are thinking about the proper use for the OCD curation that we are allowed to give to some posts withing the AN community. So far we like to forward these posts from the curation and contest posts to OCD that we really enjoy watching .. We also created a special #curated-posts channel in the DNA discord where you can look all curated posts up if you wish to ^^

Everything is still in early stage and we are trying and discussing around a lot, but are on a good way! If anyone of you has a suggestion or critic regarding the current system, please leave it in the comments for us ^^

This said, enjoy the next week of the AN-contest !

Best wishes,
Adalger
