<p><center><h1>MyPictureDay #9 Contest Winners</h1></center></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><em>Thanks to everyone who participated in the ninth round of the MyPictureDay photography challenge on Hive. You made it difficult to pick the winners but here they are! As in the last round, I also decided to tip all honored mentions 1 HIVE for participating and thereby creating an incentive for everyone to join. So even if you don't make it to the podium there is most likely a prize in for you too.

<br><br>Read the following rules carefully to avoid being disqualified! Some entries only contained one picture, so make sure to stick with the rules. MyPictureDay is all about being creative, taking pictures and share your passion. It's about telling stories and capture moments for us
<p>There were many great entries and I proudly present you the first three places and some honorable mentions!</p>
<p></p><h1><center>The Rules!</center></h1><p></p>
<p>Let us know how your Photography day looks like! Grab your camera (or mobile phone), take some shots and share them on Hive!<br />
</p><p>The best MyPictureDay post gets <strong>20 HIVE POWER</strong> to his account, the second place <strong>10 HIVE POWER</strong> and the third place <strong>5 POWER HIVE</strong>. This contest is supported and sponsored by @blocktrades and @theycallmedan! Dan and I will be the jury and decide together who will win some Hive. Thanks for the big help and making this contest possible.</p>
