Here we are, the 3rd Art-Trail Contest is finished, and it's time again to make some not easy choices. ;)
The theme of the Uncanny/Unsettling art received many submitted artworks. Artists do like these things ;)
The three categories (Digital Art, Painting, Uncanny Art) have collected 30 artworks from 20 artists.
In some cases, the category was not indicated, so I decided to include some of the artworks in more than a category (Uncanny and Painting, for example)
🌏 🌏 🌏 🌏 🌏 🌏 🌏 🌏 🌏 🌏 🌏 🌏 🌏 🌏 🌏 🌏 🌏 🌏 🌏 🌏 🌏 🌏 🌏 🌏 🌏
The artists for this 3rd contest are (random order):
@mprgrmmr, @gavicrane, @awispa, @toonpunk, @twirble, @yadamaniart, @mrgreen, @funkit, @mikkolyytinen, @drawingsbymilena, @lauralemons, @wordsword, @dottie, @girlbeforemirror, @lapstjup, @soyjoseluis, @yoganarchista, @elewarne, @inber, @holoz0r, @jameshsmitharts, @rachelsvparry, @toonpunk, @aniestudio.
The tag links on Steemit wasn't working properly, these days, so I had to make a search on Google to find all the partecipant. I hope not to have left anyone!
I want to thank all of them, and to encourage them to join the next Art-Trail Contest. I want also to thank the SteemTrail communities and guys for their support.

I hope no one will feel let down or disappointed for these results. I did my best! You all do know this contest is mostly a way to share around your artworks and to let artists on Steemit know each other.
Steemit is a great community for artists. We know it. So I would invite the partecipants to share the contest in their web contacts and social media, so to attract more artists here.
