Hello HIVE & STREETART Community
Hope you all doing all right
This post will be a little bit different from the usual!

I know you were expecting #13
Read on, big UPDATE!

I want to say first thing that the contest is not cancelled, the new Contest Post #13 will be out this Sunday just before midnight [Sunday 13/02/2022 23:45 UTC], I wanted to do this post to apologize for the delay and explain the reasons behind it. And obviously drop the prizes for the winners of #12

Why the delay?

1. I have been busy IRL, sorry and thanks for your understanding. 🙏

Not only I have been busy with work but I have been busy with life in general and life on the BlockChain, I recently set up a new account @trippy-spkcc to run my SPK Claim Chain and help the SPK network.

2. I decided to give a bit of a revamp to my posts! 😎

I usually have 2 templates that I use for the Contest & Voting post, I still spend quite the amount of time on them editing when I post the new versions, you can see on my voting post that I like to show the work of every participant in my post, with the link to their profile and post so people can go and check and maybe upvote!
I want to improve both these templates and add some little cool details, i.e. use cool page dividers rather then the simple line divider, maybe simplify the whole post, and so on...

3. I decided to make an ITA (italian) translation and make the contests Bilingual to include some of my friends from Olio di Balena and any other italian users that want to participate!

@fedesox Perdona se ti taggo qui direttamente, volevo chiederti una cosa al volo per assicurarmi di non fare nulla di sbagliato per non causare problemi con la mia idea! Potrei fare un cross-post dei miei post di questo contest in Olio di Balena? Va bene secondo te e le guide linea della Community? Volevo controllare direttamente con te prima di fare una cavolata 😅 Grazie mille 🙏

4. Last but not least, my favourite of them all! I wanted to post the new Contest Post #13 on [Sunday 13/02/2022 23:45 UTC] and in this way reset the posts to a Sunday Evening/Almost Monday so the participants will have a full week Mon-Tue-Wed-Thu-Fri-Sat-Sun to work on the Lettering!

With point 2. in mind I want to create the templates in a much better and simpler way that will not require that much time from me to keep the contest going and so be able to be always punctual on [Sunday 13/02/2022 23:45 UTC] and have always a full 7 week period starting from Monday and ending on a Sunday, this thinking in UTC time, may be slightly different for your time zones, we're all global here 🌍 Which is one of the best things of this BlockChain, WorldWide, so many connections, love you all!

Another reason to celebrate!

On my latest Voting Post I received a juicy upvote just before the expiry that I was not expecting at all, and I want to give back to you guys and the Contest, that's why I decided to offer Extra 5 HBD in the Prize Pot for the next #13 edition what will be posted on [Sunday 13/02/2022 23:45 UTC]! And 400 ECENCY Points, why not? 😎

This means that the Total Prize Pot for #13 will be [Liquid HBD #13 Post generates + 5HBD + 400 ECENCY Points + whatever you wanna throw in the basket!] 😎🤑🎉🎊🍻

Stay tuned on [Sunday 13/02/2022 23:45 UTC]

^{Page dividers used in this post available for use in The Terminal official Discord Server}

I wanted to thank you again for letting me use the Street Art Community for my contest! @heroldius @digi-me Big up guys! One Love!

I know this post is not the usual and there is not much graffiti, nor street art, I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm not gone and it will be few days before #13 and to drop the #12 prizes!

To make the post a bit more graffiti I will drop another version of my TRIPPY lettering with some crazy colorations and use it as thumbnail🤪 Hope you appreciate! 😎

^{Because this is just an update post I decided to set the Payout as 100% HP, I'm a very small account but I always upvote 100% the work of every participant and usually their participation comment, as well as I drop them some PIZZA, LOL, PGM, LUV tips 😎 I now can give out a full 0.04 Hive 😂 I'm doing also PUM and planning to do PUD every month so slowly it'll grow! 😎}
