Welcome to a New Season of Let's Make a Collage!

The long wait is over and we are excited to kick-off a new LMAC season! A new season which we expect to lift our creative community on a whole new level! 🚀

First and foremost, we now have our own LMAC image library - the LIL! 🥳🍾🥳 A public domain library built by LMACians for all Hivers to use, containing ~ 1500 photos and graphics already!

Started as a summer initiative, the LIL is now a permanent addition to the LMACsphere and we will continuously accept and reward your contributions to our community library. If you like to catch up with the LIL-rules please start 👉 here.

👉We highly encourage all LMACians to use LIL assets in their collages and will provide additional rewards for doing so:
❗️For each LIL-asset used, you need to set the corresponding LIL-contributors as 2% beneficiary each in your LMAC entry!
❗️In turn, collages using LIL-assets will be supported with a higher vote weight by our trail!

🪄 In the meantime our resident coding wizard @quantumG 🧙‍♂️ has been working tirelessly to index the LIL and make it searchable for all of you. The entire inventory of the LIL library is currently being released on our @lmac account as index posts, grouped in keyword categories:

👉 LIL-Index post 1 of 8, Category: Miscellaneous
👉 LIL-Index post 2 of 8, Categories: Sky, Cloud, Landscape, Sun, Mountain, Lake, Beach, River, Nature
👉 LIL-Index post 3 of 8, Categories: Insect, Animal, Pet, Cat, Dog, Cow, Bird, Nature
👉 LIL-Index post 4 of 8, Categories: Flower, Plant, Tree, Organic, Leaf, Fruit
👉 LIL-Index post 5 of 8, Categories: Stone, Rock, Gravel, Boulder
👉 LIL-Index post 6 of 8, Categories: House, Home, Garden, Wall, Window, City, Town, Street, Avenue

As soon as the next post appears it will be linked here.

We hope that many of you will browse the LIL to find and include LIL-assets in your next collage.

Now before we go into the new season, please note that we ask our community to use the @lmac account instead of the @hive-174695 account as a 20% beneficiary in their LMAC and LIL contributions from now on.

❗️Setting the @lmac account as 20% beneficiary will be required both in LMAC and LIL contributions in order to receive support by our community trail AND to win prizes in the LMAC competition!

And now, let's kick-off the new LMAC season with Round 90 of Let's Make a Collage!
