announcing the 24th guess the shadow contest!!

50% of the beneficiary rewards to this post go in support of #hive-179017

our multidentate moderator @melinda010100 is providing the prizes-
10 HIVE and 400 POINTS!!! feel free join me in thanking her profusely.

our charitable judges may also recommend pixresteemer nominations to boot.
i would like to express my sincere appreciation to the generous sponsors of the entire shadow hunters community: @hive-179017 @pixresteemer @ecency @taskmanager @apnigrich and @galenkp.

the first to surmise what is making the mysterious shadow below gets a prize but there are also prizes for other guesses and for engagement- mostly based on entertainment value. it's not much fun if everybody's guesses are almost the same. creativity and humor shall be rewarded both in guesses and engagement with other contestants. if you haven't been among the winners recently try giving a fuller description especially if you are banking on a wild and humorous guess. in general the replies with more expansive substance tend to get better prizes than the minimalistic ones.

we also have an elite class prize- the highly ehived venwood prize is awarded
for an extraordinary reply which stretches the limit of what is conceivable to the point where readers can't help but burst out in laughter or at least shake their head in wonder. the venwood prize shall only be bestowed for advanced effort abounding with fantastical elucidation. a good one-liner just won't do,

at present the venwood prize pot is 4 HIVE. in each contest round the full pot is up for grabs but actual rewards may vary between 0 and full pot. 100% of any donations are most welcome and go directly into the pot previous donators have been @stevenwood, @melinda010100 and @dandays. twice now i have refilled the pot from my own wallet this won't continue because at this rate i am losing money so please consider contributing.

here is the new mystery shadow

care to wager a guess?

in the highly unlikely event you are unable discern what is creating this shadow try going for a rather crazy but funny reply with some improbable humorous details.

anybody replying that this is a rectal thermometer better hope they don't come down with a fever anytime soon

other than the above warning the contest as always has only one rule.
a rule which remains as simple as it is difficult:
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
please live by it at least until midnight August 9th.

and while you are in the community:
i strongly suggest you submit some solid shadows here:

happy guessing to all.
