.:|Monthly prizes|:.




|Monthly Prize "Sweet Seeds® Grower of the Month|

500,00€ every month!!


Every month* we offer a fantastic prize to the "Sweet Seeds® Grower of the Month". The chosen grower will win 250,00€ in cash. The 2nd and 3rd places earn 150 and 100 Sweet Seeds® Points respectively to exchange at the end of the contest for cash or products from the Sweet Seeds® web store (read section 3 of the Competition Rules for more information). In addition, the winner of each month will get a crystal trophy of Sweet Seeds® Grower of the Month of the corresponding month.

1st Place

 250,00€ in cash + 100 Sweet Seeds® Points + Sweet Seeds® Grower of the Month trophy
2nd Place

100 Sweet Seeds® Points

3rd Place

50 Sweet Seeds® Points


*January, February, March, April and May
 

> Mechanics of "Sweet Seeds® Grower of the Month"

 

On days 1, 2 and 3 of the following month, the Sweet Seeds® jury (composed of a minimum of 4 people) will choose the winner through an internal vote. Each member of the jury will give 10 points to his/her favourite grow diary, 7 points to the 2nd favourite, 5 points to the 3rd, 3 points to the 4th and 2 points to the 5th. The points will be added to find the winner and between the 5th and the 15th of each month the winner of the previous month will be announced based on the votes.

The contestant who wins the 1st place prize in "Sweet Seeds® Grower of the Month" will be excluded from future candidacies for this category until the end of the contest. That is, each contestant can only be chosen as "Sweet Seeds® Grower of the Month" on one occasion.

Each judge attributes the points according to a subjective evaluation of the work of each grower. Although its assessment is based on the same parameters assessed for the attribution of the final awards, it is inevitable that the 30-day time limit interferes with the importance of each of the parameters and their impact on the decision.

Although the last 30 days are the most important to assess this award, when the jury realizes that things are very levelled/even between 2 or more contestants, the last 60 days will be taken into consideration for the evaluations. So, if you think you did a good job in the current month but you have not reached the podium, don’t think that your effort was in vain. Keep up your good work for one more month, as it can all accumulate and give you more chances of winning a prize.

The name "Sweet Seeds® Grower of the Month" is based on a symbolic term. We are convinced that it is obvious to all that we do not choose the best grower (literally speaking) because that would be very difficult to evaluate. The judges rely more on looking for the diary that is visually closer to perfection and finding the contestant who shared the best and more impacting content (texts, photos, videos, etc.) during that month (from our subjective point of view).

|Monthly Prize "Sweet Seeds® Photo of the Month"|

250,00€ every month!!

Every month* we offer a fantastic award to the "Sweet Seeds® Photo of the Month". The author of the chosen photo wins 100.00€ in cash and 80 Sweet Seeds® Points to exchange at the end of the contest for cash or Sweet Seeds® seeds and/or merchandising.

1st Place

100,00€ in cash + 50 Sweet Seeds® Points

2nd Place

 60 Sweet Seeds® Points

3rd Place

40 Sweet Seeds® Points


*December, January, February, March, April and May.

 

> Mechanics of "Sweet Seeds® Photo of the Month"

By the 10th of each month we will open a thread for this purpose. To participate, each contestant must publish a single photo on that thread between the 10th and 23h59m of the last day of each month.

Between the 1st and the 4th of the following month, the Sweet Seeds® jury (composed of a minimum of 4 members) will choose the winners through an internal vote. Each member of the jury will give 10 points to his/her favourite photo, 7 points to the 2nd favourite, 5 points to the 3rd, 3 points to the 4th and 2 points to the 5th.

The points will be added to obtain the winners and the results will be published between the 5th and the 12th of that month.

The contestant who wins the "Sweet Seeds® Photo of the Month" award can continue participating in this contest during the following months and eventually win more prizes.

We accept photos of plants, flowers, seeds, seedlings, roots, trichomes, pistils, leaves and extractions of varieties from the Sweet Seeds® genetic collection.

Each judge attributes the points according to their subjective evaluation of the photos published in the thread of this contest. In the evaluation of the photos the jury will be based on basic criteria such as: photographic quality, beauty of the photographed object, creativity, framing, focus, sharpness, originality, visual impact, etc.

The complete bases of this contest will be published every month in the thread created for this purpose.

Wow!  What a tremendous amount of prizes to be had and it's just a culture of winning for all in here!!!

Good job I took some photos at the beginning and looks like it's time soon to get another diary started, as I'm very much expressing interest in this here compo
