This is my first contest ever on Steemit and this is my way to give something back to the community. The goal of this contest is to have a wider array of public domain Steem-related images, so people have the option to use them in their posts.

Your image should be licensed under CC0 (public domain) and you cannot make use of any copyrighted materials to create this image. The contest will end in 2 weeks on 01/05/2018 and you can enter by replying to this post, do read the rules first though.
