But for the 3rd I noticed that the payout is lower than the honourable mention, so I thought to give 1 HIVE to the 3rd place (so 1 HIVE to you both @ran.koree & @digi-me) and give out the 3rd place payout (0.1226 HBD + 0.1187 HIVE) to our honourable mention @heroldius (3rd place payout is even less than 0.5 HIVE so wouldn't be fair to give more to the 4th and the honourable mentions IMHO)

IMPORTANT!!! - For the same reason I decided to cut the honourable mentions to 0.5 HIVE for the moment hoping that the prizes for our contest get bigger! I'm happy to go back to give out 1 HIVE to 3 honourable mentions in the future if the 3rd place payout gets higher than 1 HIVE 😎

Congrats again and hope to see more entries from you all 🤩 Cheers 😎

I will post here a list of people who I think could appreciate the contest, people who helped and supported me in the idea and friends. I will also add any future participants and winners.
I will do this also as a reminder, I personally appreciate it when I get tagged in contests that I usually participate in, but if anyone prefers not to get tagged please let me know and I will remove your name from the list.
Let me know also if you want to get added to this list! Cheers

As you can probably guess from the title the contest is about Graffiti and Lettering, my idea is to give a random "word" every week and the participants will have to make a nice Graffiti Lettering of the word on paper (or in any way they want really, it can be drawn, painted, sprayed on a wall, you can do what you want! If you feeling fancy you can do a proper graffiti on a wall and it will surely gets extra votes 😎 at least from me 😋 ), make a quick post about it and comment their entry under the Contest Post!

I am planning to do this at least 2 times a month in this way:

• I will post the Contest Post with the random word and participants will have time until payout (7 days) to submit their entries.
• Once the Contest Post gets paid I will then do a Voting Post where participants and users can vote for their preferred entries, (3 votes per person - anyone can vote, not only participants!)
  Similarly to the Contest Post the Voting Post will be up and running until Payout (7 days)
• Then I will post the next Contest Entry but at the beginning of the post I will announce the winners of the previous entry and send out payments (with screenshot proof)! Then I will dive in the next word and contest!

If you ask why this word, let me tell you now! I need to get a grip in my life! So here's why😂

^{Sorry for the little stain on the G and R, I must have left a cup there...}

• Contest open to everyone

• Your work can be done in any way you prefer, draw it on paper, draw it digitally, draw it on your table, paint it, spay it, do a real graffiti on a wall, totally up to you! I did this contest with the idea of a quick lettering on paper in my mind but how you do it is totally up to you!
  ^{(The more effort you put into it probably the more votes you will get! At least from me! I will always vote what I think is the work that took the most effort and time!)}

• Upvote & Reblog the post OR Upvote and mention the contest post link in your entry post

• Must be your original work (or someone's close to you, yes if you suck at drawing but have a friend or relative who wants to help you feel free to use them LOL In case you do make sure to reference them, don't use their work as yours 😂)

• One entry per person

• Post your entry post and the picture of your art under the Contest Post to officialise your entry! (I say to post the picture of the art in the comment as well to facilitate the voting process

• Entry expires with the post so you have 7 days to post your entry.
  
  

• 100% of the liquid payout of the post will be used for the prizes so make sure to upvote the post!
  Everyone's support is welcome 😁 If anyone wants to sponsor the contest it would be greatly appreciated by all the participants! 😎

• 1st place 50%, 2nd place 30% and 3rd place 20%

• 3 honourable mentions will be each given 0.5 HIVE from me 😎 (or a random amount lower than the 3rd place payout, to make it fair)

And last but not least a Huge Thank You to @heroldius and @digi-me and their #StreetArt community, they kindly gave me the Go to post this contest in their community! And I see you pin these posts so a huge thank you for this also! I'm sure this will boost the Contest and help it get some extra visibility! Big UP #StreetArt community! 😎
