The theme for this week:

And then for the theme of this week of the #POBPhotocontest
What could I have chosen other than HALLOWEEN?
I know Halloween isn't celebrated everywhere, but you may also choose to submit anything scary or spooky. Just be creative! A foggy meadow can be spooky too!

And I also have found a photo in my own archive that fits the subject. A couple of years ago I spotted this creepy pumpkin in a front yard in the neighborhood. I find it a very creepy way to celebrate the birth of a baby.

Looking forward to your entries!

About the POBPhotocontest

The #POBPhotoContest is a weekly photography competition featuring a new theme each week. It runs from Sunday to the following Sunday, closing at 8:00 PM CEST.

This contest is open to everyone—whether you're an experienced photographer with professional gear or a beginner capturing shots on your phone. All are welcome to join!

Each week, you can participate by creating a blog post featuring at least one photo that aligns with the current theme. Make sure to place your themed photo as the first image in the post. While you can submit an archived photo, it’s more engaging to head out and capture something new!

Your photo should tell a story on its own, but add context in your post. Share background details about the subject, location, techniques you used, and your inspiration for selecting this photo. Don’t forget to tag your post with #POBPhotoContest so I can find your entry!

You’re also welcome to leave a comment on this post with your photo and a link to your blog entry.
Comments with entries that are posted within the first three days after the announcement post will get an upvote and share 100% of the author rewards of this post via the @commentrewarder initiative!

The contest ends next Sunday at 8:00 PM CEST, after which I’ll review the entries and select three winners. Judging will be based on both photo quality and originality, as well as the accompanying background information in your post.

Winners will receive POB tokens and Ecency points.

Rules in short!

• Create a blog post featuring a photo that fits this week’s theme.
• Be sure to tag your post with #POBPhotoContest.
• While archived photos are allowed, I recommend sharing a recent shot.
• Add details about your photo: What do we see? Where was it taken? What inspired you to capture it? Which techniques or equipment did you use?
• You may include additional photos in your post, but only the first image will be considered for the contest.
• Optional: Add a link to your post and the photo itself in a comment on this announcement post.

The top 3 will receive both POB tokens and Ecency points.
