Calling all artists!! (Longtime artists, newbie artists, occasional artists, or people that just want to try things for fun).

---

Before I announce this weeks theme, I should mention that...

We have a winner!

Week 13's theme was Natural.

I am so excited to announce last weeks winner.

Without further adieu...

Congratulations! With a score of 4.00, @art-huntress with the submission Rainy Day, which you can see the Original Post here

This piece was very interestingly done. It was quite a creative take on the theme of Natural and the post explains it more in detail how Rain was nature but then it was linked back to a childhood memory. This piece was quite enjoyable to look at, and you could feel the innocence of the girl in blue jumping in the puddles of rain.

Honorable Mention(s)

Even though there are no prizes awarded for honorable mentions, I did want to at least mention these pieces as they did place second (all tied) with a score of 3.75. In no particular order here are my honorable mentions this week.

Here we go again... It's time to submit some amazing Art

Week 14's Theme:

This can be in whatever Visual Art form you like (Painted, sculpted, sketched, whatever visual form) as long as it is 100% your own work.
[At this time I am not taking photography submissions as there are many out there. Check out the additional contests below for ones that do photography]

Prize:

WINNER - 10 Steem

Contest ends on Friday, January 12th at 11:59 pm EST (Eastern Standard Time)

How to Win

Comments for you during the VOTING PHASE count for 25% of your score (this has changed from upvotes on submission post)

Art submissions are judged fairly and unbiased by @topkpop and will be scored on Creativity, Originality, Quality, and Popularity

Voting Phase Info:

The Voting Phase begins on a new post from Jan 13th and ends Jan 14th 11:59pm EST.

Scoring

Assuming each rule has been followed, each submission gets scored in 4 categories. Creativity, Originality, Quality, Popularity. All categories are scored out of 5 by me, and often times I also use at least one other set of eyes. The scores are then added together from all 4 categories and averaged to find a score out of 5. That is the winner.

Originality and Creativity count so try to think outside of the box as those get you higher points upon judging

Example of my scoring sheet:

Winners will be announced the day after Voting Phase closes.
New Contest theme will be announced every Monday.
