Hello HIVE
Hope you all doing all right
Welcome to the my first official contest

The Graffiti Lettering Contest

Shout out to @failingforwards for providing us this nice header for the meantime! Really appreciated! Thanks a lot!

^{I'm planning to do an official "Graffiti Lettering Contest" graffiti as a main logo at some point, but if anyone feeling fancy giving it a go or doing some digital art for it feel free to do so and I'll be happy to have a look and maybe use it as our main logo!
So get creative people 😎}

Ranking

We had 5 participants this week, but there were 6 really, unfortunately @rilo did not tag me nor commented under my #8 post and I completely missed his entry, I will still send him his prize for a honourable mention, sorry about this @rilo, next time make sure to either tag me in your post or comment your work under the main contest post! 😁

1️⃣ @mazquel(6 votes) - 2.20 HBD + 150 ECENCY Points

2️⃣ @ran.koree(5 votes) - 1.32 HBD + 100 ECENCY Points

3️⃣ @gaboamc2393 (5 votes) - 0.88 HBD + 50 ECENCY Points

PS: For the 2nd and 3rd place we had some ties here! Me and my girlfriend had to drop some votes to get the ranking, @ran.koree, @mimi05, and @gaboamc2393 all had 5 points each, so we both voted for @ran.koree to get the 2nd and she really liked the hamburger drawing the FAT lettering so the 3rd place will go to @gaboamc2393, for you @mimi05 I will send you 0.35 HIVE and 35 ECENCY points to reflect the fact that you were competing for 2nd and 3rd so you deserve a bit more than the honourable mentions!

Honourable mentions:

✳️✳️ @mimi05 (5 votes) - 0.35 HIVE + 35 ECENCY Points

✳️ @andre-marg25 (3 votes) - 0.25 HIVE + 20 ECENCY Points

✳️ @rilo (N/A) - 0.25 HIVE + 20 ECENCY Points

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

Contest Overview

As you can probably guess from the title the contest is about Graffiti and Lettering, my idea is to give a random "word" every couple of weeks 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!

Hope it all makes sense!

^{Sometimes I may delay the posts by one day or two, when that happens please forgive me, life gets busy at time! Cheers :).}

The word for today is...

XMAS

Because we are in Christmas season the word will be XMAS, the voting post for this #9 entry will come out on the 19th-20th of December so I will distribute the prizes and post the #10 on the 26th-27th so it fits perfectly as a little Christmas prize 😜

^{I will make my best to make the 19th-26th combo! 😎}

And here is my work, with a nice XMAS background too 😜
