Prizes to Win :

* 1st : 1 HBD * 2st : 0.5 HBD * 3st : 0.25 HBD _I will present all participants in the entries section in the announcement posts that will be published roughly one week later on Sunday (depending on my time schedule this may shift ^^). This way you will have a nice compilation of them all. As an special feature, the new title picture will be created from the entry of the contest winner. This time it is from @winner._

How are the Winners chosen ?

_The voting on the winners will be done by the whole DNA community. Therefore we created a contest channel in the **[DNA Discord](https://discordapp.com/invite/ATefGeY)** (Insects Of The World Contest). Here I will post the announcement post including the winners (Announcements) **EACH SUNDAY** together with all your entries (Entries) **EACH FRIDAY**. Every member of DNA will be able to assign **voting emojis** under the entries for **24 HOURS**. In the end those three with the most are the lucky winners. I will engage as a judge in case of a draw ^^_

DNA - Densifying Nature-Appreciation :

DNA is an organization to foster and **DENSIFY NATURE-APPRECIATION** amongst Hive and aims to establish **REPORTS OF BIODIVERSITY DATA** that are contributed by all of us Hiveans and subsequently cataloged. Therefore DNA searches for **HIGH-QUALITY** posts that aim to **DESCRIBE** and determine the **BIODIVERSITY AROUND YOU** with added **EXPLANATIONS** and **INFORMATION**. For these informative posts they offer a **CURATION SERVICE** using the **@dna.org** account. It is also a **CURATION TRAIL**. Just add the **#dna TAG** if you think that any of your posts is what they are looking for. At the moment DNA is also the home of the **#amazingnature** for all your post about the amazing nature all around us and also the home of the **#featheredfriends** ** for all you great posts about our feathered friends and **#fungilovers** for all your posts about fungi and mushrooms ^^ But we hope that more nature related communities will join, or maybe some Hiveans start their own little project there ;) .. Maybe even you? **[AMAZING NATURE COMMUNITY](https://peakd.com/c/hive-127788/created)**
**[FEATHERED FRIENDS COMMUNITY](https://peakd.com/c/hive-106444/created)**
**[FUNGI LOVERS COMMUNITY](https://peakd.com/c/hive-166168/created)**
If you are **INTERESTED** in DNA, please do not hesitate to ask about it, or directly **JOIN US** in the **[DNA DISCORD](https://discordapp.com/invite/ATefGeY)** ;)
**"By The People, For The People"**
