So how about a contest with photos shot only on smartphones?

This should level the field a little bit and everybody, from amateurs to professionals, can have a go at it.

Every weekend I'll announce a new theme and you have until the post pays out to submit your entries.

The total amount of STEEM that this post receives will be shared with the winners as follows:

• 1st place will get 50% STEEM reward
• 2nd place will get 30% STEEM reward
• 3rd place will get 20% STEEM reward

I'd like to take this opportunity to give a special thanks to our sponsor @Partiko for supporting this contest since day one.

If you're looking for a fast, beautiful mobile client for Steem, that also offers native notifications, give the Partiko App a try. You can find it over here and it's totally free (no hidden fees or commissions).

And now, without further ado, here are winners from week #8:

1. @zaraa15 - 2.367 STEEM
