Man VS. Machine
There was some great entries in this theme. It was awesome to see the creativity and the different types of vehicles. There weren't that many entries in the contest this week, most likely because of the market and it causing people to get discouraged with post rewards.

Announcement
I have set up a witness and I am looking forward to using my witness to promote the photography community and once I get more votes from users like you, I will be able to reward everyone's efforts more. If you want to know more about my witness intentions, you can check out my [Witness Announcement Post](https://steemit.com/witness/@derangedvisions/can-i-get-a-witness-derangedvisions-witness-announcement) or [vote for @derangedvisions](https://steemconnect.com/sign/account-witness-vote?witness=derangedvisions&approve=1) here.

Thank you all
I want to thank my sponsors @czechglobalhosts, @pfunk, @spiritualmax, and @guiltyparties and the rest of the @steemcleaners team for helping to make this whole contest for you all possible. It would be awesome if you could all visit their pages and show them support as well.
For those that don't know, @czechglobalhosts puts on two daily photo contests that are open to anyone to enter. His contests cover the entire globe so that anyone can enter. The days and themes are:

On top of the themed daily continent contests, he hosts a daily travel contests specific to the beautiful country of the Czech Republic. So make sure to follow @czechglobalhosts and participate in his contests because he is offering two daily photography contests that you can enter to win.
