Wildlife

Wildlife photography is one of my favorite genres to look at. I love seeing all the different kinds of animals from all over the world. It is so cool to me that some people get to see so many different types of wild animals each day. I would love to live somewhere exotic that has an abundance of different types of animals. Since I can't travel right now and see any cool animals, I am hoping that you guys will share some of the cool animals that you have seen lately. I am looking forward to this one.

I also want to take some time to reiterate the rules and how important it is that you follow them. Every week, there are multiple entries that do not qualify because you skipped some of the rules. So make sure to take the time to read and follow the rules before you submit your entry.

How is the Deranged Photography Contest set up?

Every Sunday, I will announce a new theme for the week and you will have until Saturday to get your submission in. There will be two tiers for the contest. A professional tier and an amateur tier. When making your submission, you must state which tier you will be competing in. I usually get a lot of entries, so make sure to follow all the rules or else your submission won't count and will likely be ignored.

I will not allow any entry that is not your own original photography. If you are caught plagiarizing someone else's work, you will be flagged and banned from participating in any future contest. So make sure that the photos you are submitting are ones that you personally take.

All entries must be done through the Liketu front end. One of the goals of the contest is to create more awareness of Liketu, so make sure that you create your post from https://liketu.com/.

You only get one entry per week, so make sure to spend some time on getting a good photo and creating a fun post about your entry. You will need to submit a link to your post in the comment section of the contest announcement post and you will need to include at least one image from your post in the comment you make. You are encouraged to share more than one image in your post. The more effort you put into your post, the more chance you have for curation and possibly winning your tier.

On top of a chance for curation from Liketu, the top three entries in each tier will be awarded as follows:

Place	Professional	Amateur
1st	8 Hive	4 Hive
2nd	5 Hive	3 Hive
3rd	3 Hive	2 Hive

Rules overview

• Your entry must be made on Liketu.
• No plagiarism. If you are caught plagiarizing, you will be flagged and banned from future contest.
• You must state the tier you are competing in, Professional or Amateur.
• You must comment on the weekly contest announcement post with a link to your entry and at least one photo from your post.

The rules are pretty easy, so make sure to follow them or your entry will be ignored.
