Transcript of what I thought when going through the pictures:

Code:
- Shit, I want that cap/T-shirt and pen
- Nice, Blazed got sixth!
- Many pictures from China
- Not sure why Samantha chick is in the top 10, but okay
- How does Simin's picture of a cat win from Blazed? You can't even see the coin properly
- Lincoln6Echo is second, nice.
- Damn coin@coin, your pic is niceee. From the ten pictures I have seen this definitely should have won.

Anyway, congratulations to all the winners. Enjoy the BTCC swag/coins!

I noticed the well known authentic "blazed table". If that table could speak about the coins lying on that table over the years, then would it tell grand stories Cheesy

Haha "Proof of Table"

This contest was pretty cool and offered great prizes. I hope others do similar things in the future (even if they offer less amazing prizes). Thanks, BTCC!


PS: I need one of those gold prototypes please...

Nice pics, thanks for sharing the winners!

Is the "Samantha" image tagged accurately with "New York City, China"?

Thank you for catching that mistake. We've corrected the post.

No, it is not.  I don't think she will mind though.

Hah definitely, wasn't sure if there was a NYC town in China similar to "Chinatown" in NYC.

Uhhh Doggie is very happy right now! He loves shiny coins very much! Thank you guys! Congrats to the other winners, especially coin@coin! Nice Photo!

Thank you, love your doggie pic, he looks happy and proud to show off his BTCC Coin. Hopefully he/she won't peel it anytime soon Smiley

yeah this kind of doggie is not really made for posing because they hate not to move so it was really difficult to get a clear picture.

She would never peel a coin. Waaaay to shiny! Wink

What is that BTCC gold coin the 9th place winner is holding?  I need it.

BTCC produced some prototype coins before releasing the Titanium ones. I believe that is a plated coin.

It was featured in their Aprils Fools video: Bitcoin Mining Documentary Aired in China (2m30s mark)

Terminated.
- Lincoln6Echo is second, nice.
Lincoln6Echo has finally shown their true face.

... Wondering if "Samantha" is how the average female bitcoin user looks like Cheesy
I know a certain someone from Slack who would not mind.  Lips sealed

Funny enough, that is what I mentioned in the email with my submission: wanted to show the contrast between "The Old Finance" and "The New Finance". Go Bitcoin! Just in time for a nice bull run!!! Smiley
Very Bitcoin friendly background with Citibank and HSBC.  Cheesy

For some reason the pictures loaded very slowly.

Oh WOW what can I say, I'm humbled... it's the first time I ever won anything! And a 1 BTCC coin is definitely a worthy prize BTCBTCBTC  Grin
Also thanks to BTCC for organizing this, hope we'll see more such competitions in the future. Everyone can take pictures and it's a fun way to spend some time finding the right spot.

As for my entry it was taken on a Samsung Galaxy S6 (on a tripod), this shows that it's not the fancy equipment but the idea that counts sometimes. Of course better cameras can produce amazing results too. However the best camera is the one that is always with you. Smiley

This made my day... Actually my week!

PS: Congrats to everyone else too, hopefully we'll see even more participation in the future.


Well done, coin....for showing the working people of Canary Wharf what their future looks like!  Cool

Ha! Nice one. I'll do a similar pic next time im down Threadneedle St.

Hi, the contest wasn’t restricted to BTCC collectibles. The second- and sixth-place prizes went to photos with Casascius coins in them, and the seventh-place prize winner was holding NastyFans coins.
Oh yeah, I forgot that that requirement was dropped. My apologies for that and I've updated my original post.
