The @Art-Venture traditional Art contest: “Freestyle portrait” came successfully to the end on 09 August 2020, 12 PM Central European Time (CET)
We would like to thank who took part in the contest this time because of high number of submissions we had to check the posts if they are following the rules of the contest:
1 . NEWLY created and Specially for our contest:
- We have found many entries where the Artwork was already published in the past, that means that the users had just to write a post and paste a work without doing NEW work.
That is why those work could not make it to the final selection
2 . Some of the posts were already posted in HIVE and that was not mentioned in their posts on Steemit.
- It was very disappointing to see that some of the users have already posted the Artwork in Hive and got on some occasion up to 40$, then a day or few days later it was simply submitted to our Artcontest on Steemit.
3 . We have nothing against you to post in HIVE, it is your work and you are free to make anything with it. BUT if you created work for the contest on Steemit and specifically for @art-venture then it is polite to post if first on Steemit and then for example a day/days later on HIVE
4 . When submitting few of you forgot to put their names on works and that was one of the rules, no name that means not qualified
5 . We have given preference this time to those of you who were creative in their Portraits and we were happy to hear the story why you have done so.

Adriana has attracted our attention due to the unusual portrait of a sleeping young girl with a cat, when we saw the post it was not only nice drawing but also a little story behind that we definitely wanted to share with you:
"I knew I wanted to draw the portrait of a sleeping girl, but this cat slipped into my drawing, as always, and I liked leaving it there, in the blockchain, sleeping comfortably in her arms.
When I finished I knew what the girl was dreaming about: she was dreaming about the books she had read. I guess they were cat stories."
Thank you Adriana, you deserve the first place!

I'm excited. I think it's hard for others to imagine how much. I found the words of @art-venture absolutely beautiful, and I think they capture a secret longing. I like to illustrate, that's why my drawings always have a story behind them and I think these stories are what fill my drawings.
Thank you very much for reading my post so kindly and thank you very much for stimulating so many to create art. The example of quality and enthusiasm is clear in the classifieds and in the participation in general.
Many congratulations to @sweettais, @essendi, @oscurocactus, @abiga554, @mayorfaruk, @ezunjoshy.
Gracias por todo.

Yes, that was in your case, but I must say seeing how you did your first portraits and now honestly there is a tremendous improvement.

Ah Ok.. I will ensure I will include the signatures from now on.
Thanks for your compliments, it means a lot to me. I am still a beginner as for as art works are concerned.

Felicitaciones a todos los GANADORES...
Primero que nada es un gran concurso formado por una gran comunidad en general y @art-venture, los participante cada ves dan lo mejor de si y mejoran a gran velocidad ya que la comunidad no permite dibujar/pintar constantemente por eso el progreso en cada artista.. ademas que nos nutrimos de los distintos estilos hacen nuestra percepción mas amplia.. en mi punto de vista son geniales los trabajos de los ganadores, se que detrás de cada obra lleva mucho tiempo y dedicación .. En cuanto la elección magnifico trabajo como siempre.. daré lo mejor en el próximo para estar en esa lista
Por ultimo quiero defenderme,vi normal publicar en ambas plataforma, pero espero no haber sido incluido con aquellos a los que mencionan en cuanto a publicaciones antiguas, ya que siempre publico primero en steemit por miedo a cheetaa..es enserio!!, a excepción el ultimo post con ese salí de dudas... ustedes cuando volví en esta temporada me tendieron su mano no les jugaría una mala broma como esa... seguiré dando lo mejor cada ves..

Dear @roinujx, we love your work and always happy to see and support, like last two contests, this time because we had so many participants we decided to make preference for Steem exclusive if it was possible. In next contest we write it in the rules that this will be carefully reviewed.

I would like to ask the contest organizers 1 question.
If 10 prizes were intended, why didn't they hand out all of them? There were many entries that met all the rules.
If the works did not artistically qualify for the expectations of the contest they should have mentioned it to the participants. Greetings @art-venture and I look forward to your reply.

Hi @marcybetancourt, we would like to clarify that if you look in the list for prizes
The last sentence was 3x10 Steem = that means three times 10 Steem
And here we have sent three times 10 Steem
Together with others it will be 7 (Seven) Prizes:
Please correct me if I am wrong. Cheers @stef1 and @myskye, we are behind the @art-venture project
