-Howard Schultz
Engagement
We won’t give you a chance to forget that SteemIt is a social platform. Posting quality content is not enough to grow your account. To succeed on SteemIt, you need to interact with others, engage in the community.
The SteemIt community is full of wonderful people, you’ll find out when you get to know them better.
And we here at @newbiegames are going to help you to do just that.
The Contest
A picture is worth a thousand words...
You can tell a lot from looking at a person’s profile picture: is he or she romantic? All about business? Or maybe all about fun?
This contest gives you the chance to tell the story behind your profile picture and allow others to get to know you a little better.
So tell us about your profile picture. Why did you pick that one? What does it represent? Where was it taken? ...
We want to know everything there is to know about your profile picture.
And if you have a question about another contestant’s profile picture, feel free to ask. That’s the only way to get an answer... ;0)
The Prizes
@newbiegames is still a small account, so we can’t go around waving with loads of SBD.
But we can give you the opportunity to expand your network: to get to know each other better and to meet new people.
And we’ll be giving away 2 @steembasicincome memberships amongst all contestants. Winners will be randomly chosen after post-payout.
A membership of @steembasicincome will basically give you 1 share in the initiative, which will give you a small upvote on all your posts. The more shares you get, the more this upvote will be worth. You can read more about the @Steembasicincome initiative here.
Requirements
There are no real requirements, but to have fun and build your network.
Of course, an upvote and/or a resteem would be appreciated, but is not required to enter this contest.
(Read: Most SteemIt Game And Contest Hosts Are Breaking The Rules! Are You?)
There is also no maximum nor minimum reputation level you need to be eligible to join. We do not discriminate: we are curious about EVERYONE!! ;0)
This is the time to get started! Tell us the story of your profile picture in the comments section below!
My photo was taken at my grandsons 6th birthday - It was of my daughter, grandson and myself but I have cropped it to just be me :)
It's very nice of you to join 'Play 4 a newbie', @andysantics48.
Thanks for joining the contest.
My profile photo was taken at a friend's service apartment when they visited Singapore. It was a series of candid shots and I picked this one to post.
In the light of dark times ahead (for me anyway), I thought a more happy and candid photo is in order for Steemit.
By the way, how does SteemBasicIncome work? I've sent and sponsored someone using 1 STEEM, then what happens? takes a few days?
About SBI: you will get a message in tour wallet about the enrollment. From then on they will upvote your created post once a day!
The registration is still a manual process. I do think that they area little overwhelmed by the success.
The casual look is a good one. Hopefully the light times come again soon. Thanks for sharing and for entering the contest!
As @fullcoverbetting said, they're still manually managing enrollment, so it may take a few days.
Ai hope u reading this cos would be like the most sincere stuff i write. My profile picture show a samurai with a katana in a forest. Laudable right ....how does it represent a person's personality. Thats my life and how i feel about stuff more like a man incapable of redemption and only hope he got is in himself, his sword nd his zeal to conquer no matter the circumstances. The picture represents my fears nd highlights my imaginations. The artist possibly will not know his arts means a lot.....but am just a man, maybe just another man. But if a picture is worth a thousand words it show the introvert , a narcissist with a god complex .....kamiikazer "the divine wind".
Thumbs up @newbiegames .....nd @simplymike for being the vessel.
Hope u proud of me @mirrors .
Its really nice to know what your profil pics means to you, its good that you trust and believe in yourself because with that you can achieve great things. Thanks for the insight
That looks like the character from Samurai Champloo, are you a fan? The character that the silhouette portrays is rather deep but an interesting reference :)
What do i know..? I never knew that....plus am a lover of the japanese culture nd art. Now i gatz to check out samurai champloo.. @plushzilla.
That's great that you've learned to rely on yourself and your talents even when things are difficult. Thank you for sharing with us and for entering the contest!
My profile picture is that of an origami crane made from a flower petal sitting on a finger (I don't know of anyone else that has managed to do this). Don't believe me? Here's a close up of the image:
That's really impressive. You have quite the talent! Thanks for entering the contest!
my son was simply amazed by this! he loves origami but he couldn't even comprehend how you made this one so tiny!! lol so cool :)
If you start with a normal piece of paper and keep reducing the size of the paper each time you finish a paper crane then eventually you will get there :) Once I couldn't make it any smaller without using tools, I decided to try other materials and found flower petals something that I wanted to try. The rest is history!
wow! that is so amazing! :-O
What a beautiful origami @plushzilla. However were you able to make such a small piece of art? That is some meticulous and detailed work!
It's great to be able to make something like this with a natural piece of material. It actually surprises me that I haven't been able to find anyone else that has done this before. If you can make an origami crane, then you can make a miniature origami crane, and then it's just a step to using flower petals instead of paper :)
First I love this game... Now my entry!
My profile pic was taken for my social media sites for my campaign for US Senate in 2016. Mainly facebook and twitter. As you can tell by my picture, I am not one who cares too much about having a professional slick marketing campaign. My focus was just to let people know that I am real, which I am.
Truth be told, I actually hate taking my own picture. I don't know why completely, but part of me is just a bit shy. So I did what I needed to do and that is it!
The picture is taken on the deck of my house and since I live on top of a mountain, you can see the many trees in the background!
My entry is on behalf of Play 4 a Newbie Challenge. All proceeds will go to a newbie Prize Pool and hopefully you will get other players to join in your game too!
Hey @davemccoy are you on any discord channels so that I can chat with you?
You can find @davemccoy in the Newbie Resteem Discord channel: https://discord.gg/h9WfHrE
The story behind Dave McCoy. He is real! :)
I don't like taking pictures myself, but photos are a great way to memorialized a moment. You will have always have this photo to remember your political days.
I will enter this one and play for a newbie too, at least you can put me down for one game. ;) I can give you my first Newbie Nickel..one and only though, lol.
Would be great to see your photo in full size @beeyou 😊
It's on my intro post which I have linked to the about me section on top of my blog @happysmileyman. A more recent photo of me is posted below as my entry for this contest. :)
I eventually got to the post, its a long way down the page 😊
Such a great contest @newbiegames I've really enjoyed reading all the amazing entry's as each and every one is so thoughtful and unique!.
The only wish is that I could have seen all of the profile pictures full size along with their wonderful descriptions
My photo was taken at the famous Glastonbury festival here in the UK
I'm a qualified laughter yoga teacher and one of my missions in life is to raise as many people's vibrational frequency through this happy medium.
The name @happysmileyman i have used for many years for an old blog at blogspot and my name is the same on Instagram and farcebook so naturally I wanted the same for my steem name.
I hope my picture brings happy smiles to people's faces when they see it on here, and people that follow me know I blog every day about my interesting off grid life, and original posts about unusual things.
Wishing you and anyone that takes the time to read this post a wonderful day filled with many smiles 😊
This picture was taken when my girlfriend, who I met online and in person for the first time in Paraguay, came to visit me in the Netherlands.
I was showing her around in Amsterdam and were having a great time just strolling around and stopping by some places to have something to drink and a bite to eat. I will be applying for her permanent visa at the end of the month.
Uploaded it in full size, I forgot where it and some other pictures were so, after reading your comment I felt triggered to look for it. Fortunately I managed to find it, and more!
This is a very nice picture... you can see what a happy day you both had for sure! Thanks for sharing your story and entering the contest!
This is so much better to see your photo in the large format @wrath-of-grapes you both look so happy too 😊😊
lol... I've liked your profile pic ever since I first saw it... It really fits your username for sure ;) Thanks for sharing your story and entering the contest!
The magic of happiness is working...Yay 😊😊
Very nice to meet your happy self @happysmileyman!
Very nice to meet you too @beeyou 😊
Wishing you a wonderful day
Hello, My profile picture is pretty simple. I was looking for a logo that would relate with my Tinkering Persona. It is a variation of the jolly rodger but with a white field a saw blade for the skull and a crossed spanner and soldering pencil.
The other logo that I use is one that I drew up for my firefighters tattoo. most firefighters have a St Florians Cross tattooed on them someplace.
Mine is a red St Florians cross, with a blue (Star of Life) and a green historical Mjolnir. With the red hair and my study of Nordic mythology they started calling me Thor in my first station house. That and it didnt hurt that I could swing a sledge and bust down a door usually in one stroke.
The TinkerGnome is stronk like bull
Thanks for sharing. It sounds like you're quite the character yourself. It's nice that your picture is so meaningful to who you are. You're entered in the contest!
Well my profile photo was taken on a planet call Earth. After joining this community and realizing that steemit had a under the sea theme, I wanted to join in the fun. Learning that in this steemit ocean swims whales, dolphins, minnow and plankton. I found some stuffed toys to represent the diffrent groups, knowing that I am not a whale and hating thinking of myself as a minnow or worst plankton. I wanted to find a sea creature that fit the image I have for myself. Also it is not so easy to find a lamprey plush so between the clown fish minnow and orca whale sits "me" a hand made cuttlefish. Thats the story of my picture, thank you for having this contest. Upvoted and resteemed to all 70 of my followers, haha.
nice one,,,hahah...
Wish we could see your profile photo full size @lordzugg 😊
@happysmileyman yup should of posted this at the start.
That’s such an original idea, @lordzugg. I think my stuffed animals just all fell in love with you... ;0)
This world needs more love so I take what I can get. Good thing I am a monster for love. Thanks, this is why I care about this community lots of ideas and great thinkers are here.
I can only second that :0)
That's more like it we can see them now 😊😊😊
Wishing you happy smiles
With a name like @lordzugg you must be unusual like me, I'm following you now 😉
I saw a meme the other day that said somthing like "you have to be odd to be number one". I got the odd part down, thats for sure. Thank you so much.
Haha, touche!.
Looks like were in the same boat @lordzugg 😊
Wishing you a happy day 😊
Very cool @lordzugg!
That's a great story! It's very creative of you and fun that you were able to find so many stuffed animals that worked for your theme. Thanks for sharing and entering the contest!
My profile picture is of a little black cat, because.... I AM a little black cat!
Seriously, though, my Human got this really cool Tibetan cloth to hang over the drafty door in his office, next to my cat tower... and thought I looked great against the pale and deep red, so it became a photo op. This is the original photo the thumbnail portrait was created from.
Black cats are lucky @curatorcat 😊
Cool! I love black cats. Every cat has personality, but black cats... they are always just that little bit more human.
Thanks for joining the contest, @curatorcat
Ha, ha, ha @newbiegames! I was going to say my profile picture was taken on a beach in Dorset but then I noticed what I am wearing and realised it is not the picture I thought it was. 😂
I had to go and find the photograph on the computer but I am still none the wiser. I think I can see some sea in the background but where it was actually taken I can't remember.
That's pretty par for the course with my Steemit experience so far. I post photographs but can't remember where I took them! 😂
However, where ever it was taken it is fairly representative of me in that I adore being by the sea.
I love the water too @gillianpearce!
Something else we have in common @beeyou! 😁
That's quite the journey we got to go on with you as you searched for the photo. We'll mark you down as enjoying being in close proximity to the sea. Thanks for sharing and for entering!
It was fun @newbiegames. Thanks for the opportunity! 😊
