Edit: We'll let this round go another two weeks, as there have been no responses and we've been a bit low staffed and low on time.

Last round @iodacasamia was carrying the torch with some great feedback and a great contribution for the Mind topic It was great to see the creative process for the image which made for a well rounded post. It's well worth a look if you're new to Hive and would like to see an example of what voters like to see in a post.

Anyway, we'll take something from the HBD pot this week and send 6 HBD as a thank you for all your effort. 🙂 You have also been added to the beneficiaries for this post for the valuable feedback in the last round.

As per Iodacasamia's suggestion, I've expanded a little more on the Mind topic prompt to give an idea of what type of blogs you might be aiming for. We'll also keep the Futuristic topic in this round. How do you picture the future? Is it high tech, utopian, apocalyptic or something else?

How it works

The challenges will run every two weeks. Each round we will have a topic or two for our contributors to try their hand at. We invite everyone to give their feedback on any entries and the best one will win Hive. Meanwhile, we ask anyone who has been looking to use images to tell us what they are looking for in the comments on this post and these suggestions will be put forward as the challenge topics for future competitions, with the suggesting account added as a beneficiary of that challenge post. They will also be invited to judge any entries and pick their favourite submission. If they also choose to use a submission, then all the better. You don't have to be currently looking for images to suggest them, you can suggest anything you may have used or wanted to use in the past or that you think might be in demand.

We invite people to add an upvote to their favourite suggestions and this will play a part in which ones will be selected first for the next challenge.

This round's challenge topics will be:

1:

Swimming pool

2:

Mind (for blogs about mental health and psychology)

3:

Futuristic

Rules

• No plagiarism (obviously).
• Think quality. Will someone want to use your image if it's blurry or badly laid out? Low quality posts will be muted in the search feature
• Make sure you're tagging your submissions correctly.
• Make sure your images fall within legal restrictions for stock images.
• Submit your entry links in a comment on this post, so we don't miss it.
• All images are accepted, not just photographs, as long as they are your own.

We have Hive for the winning entries. All quality entries will be nominated for curation if they aren't already well rewarded. Votes will be given on all good suggestions for images, with the chosen suggestion/s added as a beneficiary on the next challenge post.

Are you looking for specific stock images to use? Please view the Stock Images Main index where you can search by alphabetical order genre. This will be updated periodically as more images are added. We also now have a search feature, which is being improved as we go, so please feel free to give feedback on it.
