Artstorm Contest #26 Day 1 - Theme Today - Sunshine and Showers

Hi Everyone!

Before I talk about today's contest, I want to share some exciting news. The great artist @magiccleatus has started a fantastic channel on Discord. It's called the Zen Colouring contest. It covers that contest and much, much more! You can post your art to give it more exposure, listen to and choose music, advertise your art contests and chat with other visitors. It's just the beginning so visit frequently to see what's happening!!

Thank you to everyone who entered Artstorm yesterday. Later today, I'll choose the winners and award the prizes.

Now, on to Contest #26 Day 1...

Artstorm is a contest for challenging yourself and having fun!

Artstorm Contest #26 will run every day from 28th May to 3rd June inclusive (7 days altogether).

Each day I post a theme. Entrants should create a quick picture using the medium of their choice.

YOU HAVE 15 MINUTES TO CREATE IT. PLEASE USE THAT TIME.

The theme today is 'Sunshine and Showers'. Here's a video about sunshine and showers:

There are two categories for your entries:

Digital Art

Non-digital Art

YOUR ENTRY MUST BE YOUR OWN ORIGINAL WORK RELATING TO THE THEME. I CHECK THE SEARCH ENGINES FOR IMAGE COPYING.

You don't need to enter every day.

You can enter once in each category. You don't need to enter both the categories.

For Contest #26, there are two prizes of 0.250 SBD every day, paid the next day, for the entries I like best.

This is what you need to do:

• Make a post for your entry with the title 'Entry for Artstorm Contest #26 - Sunshine and Showers'.

• State clearly which category you are entering, on your entry post.

• Make the first tag #artstorm.

• Leave a link to your post in the comments below. If you do not leave the link, I cannot guarantee to find your entry.

• Upvote and resteem this post. This is a condition of entry. I ask all entrants to do this as it helps me afford to pay the prizes. If this is not done your entries will not be considered for the prize.

It is your responsibility to upvote and resteem my post.

I don’t accept children's work as entries for the prizes in the Artstorm Contests but you are welcome to post them for us to see. Photography and edited photography are also no longer accepted.

The entry closing time each day is 9:00 am UTC the following day (Follow this link for a time zone converter.)

I hope you will have time to enter and have fun!!
