Hi, Netherlands! - Voting phase will start in couple of hours!
Silexu
Many thanks to Niemand for inviting me and supporting me to come to Netherlands. Also thanks to Shawtyl0w and odan in supporting me for CS.
I started a Globe Trotter project and I would like to write an article about Netherlands (see presentation article, or three overview articles written since then: Season 1, Season 2 and Season 3 each with 11 countries visited).
The article will contain pictures and small text about the beauty of the country; it is very possible that picture proposed in the Picture Contest will reach this article.
The next pictures are only a pale image of the beauty of Netherlands. If you want to discover more, or you want to contribute please follow the picture contest.

Picture contest
Since some articles ago, I've transformed my usual "Hi! articles" in a contest. The reason for such articles is that I want to involve more people in discovering upfront the beauty of the countries I am visiting. And especially to encourage local citizens to share the marvelous places where they live in.
Short version
Send me in a message up to three pictures that resembles Netherlands each with a small text describing the picture and you may win 500CC.
Long version
The project, called Picture Contest, is split in three phases:
- Picture proposal;
- Picture voting;
- Handling the prize (500CC) to the winner.
Picture proposal
In order to enter the contest you have to provide me, in a private message (not comment), picture(s) from Netherlands.
You can send me max 3 pictures from every player, please put them in clear order in one message. Please also put a small text describing every picture. If in total there are less than 12 pictures proposed I post all the pictures. Otherwise I will choose the first ones from each player.
The deadline for sending me pictures is 10:00 eRep time on day 3280.
In the situation there is only one player proposing pictures, I will stop the contest and handle a prize of 200CC to that player and I will no proceed to voting.
Disclaimer: The pictures you will provide may be part of the final article; it would be a pity not to use such beautiful pictures.
Picture voting
After the first deadline I will post all the selected pictures from the received ones (see above about selected pictures per player). The posting may happen in this article, or in a separate one for visibility. I will allow people to vote 3 pictures. The vote will end at 10:00 eRep time on day 3282.
Handling the prize
I will count first vote as 3 points, second as 2 points and third as 1 point. The picture with most points will be the winner; the player who proposed it will receive 500CC. If I receive donations or endorses that sum over this prize I will supplement the prizes.

So let me understand this, instead winning for taking a good picture u just want us looking in Flickr for a nice one with a fancy comment, it's not idk stupid
I am still looking for pictures proposed by local people that knows more than what I can also get from first hits on the Internet. If the people send me pictures from Flickr that's it.
Look at Pakistan article or Iran one. Also I got nice ones from England or Ireland or Austria.

On behalf of Netherlands, I welcome you to our community and I hope you will have a great stay during your Globe trotter project which I commend as a success.
Thank you!!! I wish my Netherlands article will be at least as good as the previous ones.
