Thanks to all the participants to our first @artzone music contest!

It was a lot of fun just listening to all of your entries, and I am very thankful to all of you for your hard work and your passion.
My deliberation process was very simple, I chose songs and stories that moved me , I tried not to take into consideration the production value, to give everyone an equal chance.

The @dsound winners are :

Jeff offers us a tour of Phnom Penh Cambodia inside of a tuk tuk, while his track plays in the back.
I am always impressed by his performances and his inventive mind, the courage that it takes to leave everything behind to move to an unknown country, and make a living there. The video is a bit short, but I know how much you struggle with editing software, so I do appreciate the time spent doing this montage.Thanks my friend for sharing your art to the world!

ARTZONE MUSIC CONTEST - QUIT YOUR DAY JOB - Dionisio Aguado - Valsa

It is hard to be a classical guitar player in 2018!! I was teaching classical guitar in a school for a year here in South Africa, and eventually stopped because of the lack of the student's interest.
There's nothing more painful than seeing a child doing an activity he hates.
On the other hand of the musical spectrum here is Guilherme Faquetti playing classical guitar pieces with passion, love and care, as it should be !
I know this video is short, but most of these classical guitar pieces are short, so the poor Guilherme never get the rightful attention he deserves, these countless hours of work, crafting his art, perfecting his right hand, this is why i chose you as the winner.
Keep up the good job brother!

Quit Your Day Job! Artzone Dtube Contest Entry by Jeff

Yes, Jeff you won twice is 2 categories!!!Because you are the only that understood that you could multiply your chances of winning by posting two entries on different platforms!(from the moment it was different content, which was the case here)
Well done bro ! You only realize how damn hot it is there in Cambodia, when you notice that Jeff'shirt is drenched in sweat.
A special bonus point for keeping your calm with the kids, that were here to make sure you couldn't film.That was very fun to watch!

Congratulation on winning 3SBD + upvote!

As you can see, there were no winners for our 3rd place on @Dlive and @Dtube, I think it will takes some times for musicians and producers to realize that they can make a living too on these platforms, that was the point of the contest!
So there were 4 SBD from the prize pool unused that will be sent to @artzone for the next contest!

Thanks to all the contestants for you entries:
@web-gnar @everwatching @jeffandhisguitar @dclass6 @spawnband @lorenzopistolesi @pliku @guifaquetti @nicolcron @nickyhavey @artzanolino @fanen @josevallera @kkarenmp @aleisandel @brazilianboy

Some of you had very good entries, and I would love to reward you too next time around! Thanks again for being the life of this platform!

A special thanks to our friends from @dlive, @dtube and @dsound that made this competition possible :)
