Hello Steemians! MakersPlace is back with another, fun and exciting, digital art contest. You do not need to create a new piece of work, just for this contest.

PRIZES

1st place will win 70% of the post rewards, and 50 Steem from MakersPlace.

2nd place will receive 20% of the post rewards, and 15 Steem from MakersPlace.

3rd place will receive 10% of the post rewards, and 5 Steem from MakersPlace.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

Theme: "Favorite"

Make a piece of digital art that relates to the contest theme "Favorite". You may submit as many pieces as you want, but you will only be eligible for one prize. For example, if you submit two pieces of art, you cannot win both 1st and 3rd prizes. Only one of your pieces will be selected to win a prize. So submitting more art may increase your chances of winning a prize, but it's impossible to win extra prizes.

Publish and protect your art piece on the blockchain, so that the authenticity, and ownership of your creation can forever be verified. You can use the free MakersPlace service to do this, by registering at https://makersplace.com/register using the invite code:

What is MakersPlace?

MakersPlace is a platform that makes it easy to create and sell unique digital creations, using blockchain technology.We believe the digital world of the future needs more empowered creators (artists, photographers, musicians and more). We’re helping creators take full advantage of blockchain technology to better protect their work from day one, and ultimately make more money by enabling true ownership and scarcity of their creations. We also want to help get creators more visibility, by distributing their creations to our marketplace partners, and through our social media/newsletters.
