The State of the Sndbox Monthly Thumbnail Competition #5! [+$300 Upvote Prize Pool]
Today we’re hosting our 5th monthly thumbnail competition for State of the Sndbox! Each Wednesday Sndbox does a newsletter - State of the Sndbox - to update the Steemit community on our progress and ongoing work. This monthly competition gives Steemians an opportunity to showcase their creativity as the face of the newsletter.
Our exciting first round, second round, third round, and fourth round had amazing submissions and we want to keep this competition going as a monthly tradition for Sndbox.
Previous winner of December’s Newsletter @wens
Every Steemian is invited to submit a thumbnail / landing image using a few parameters (outlined below). The top submissions will receive big Sndbox upvotes and the winner’s image will be featured for each week of January’s State of the Sndbox posts!
Competition Rules
To be eligible for prizes, you must follow these simple instructions-
Design a landing image that is 1000 pixels x 600 pixels, uses the @sndbox color palette and has the title “State of the Sndbox” clearly legible.
Publish a personal post using the image, describing a bit of the inspiration, have “State of the Sndbox Competition Entry” as part of the post title, and use #sndbox in the tags so that we can upvote you!
Share your image (with a link to your post) in the comments below.
Deadline is Tuesday, January 2, 2018 5pm EST. Earlier submissions are recommended to receive more exposure! We will reveal the winner in the following State of the Sndbox post.
Voting Prizes
With the cumulative weight of our curation trail and delegation power, we’re now able to support many more entries with upvotes and provide increased visibility rather than limited SBD amounts. Standings will be determined by the Sndbox community and prizes will be as follows -
First Place = 100% Upvote, Approximately $110 - The winner’s image will be used on the following month’s State of the Sndbox posts. We will credit your name wherever we use your work!
Second Place = 50% Upvote, Approximately $60
Third, Fourth and Fifth Place = 20% Upvote each, Approximately $25 each
ALL completed entries will receive a 5% upvote (approximately $5) and will be featured in a dedicated post with linked accounts. Everyone is invited to submit! Have fun, and best of luck!

Done in 2 hour ! By Photoshop
P.S. Although I recommend that you make the "State of the Sndbox" a bit better since this is their landing image, so they want it to be visible in their thumbnail. :) I like your work, illustration wise, but it'd be much better to make the words bigger.
P.S. I also made one, and the words are quite small, too. So I am thinking of making another one. Just for fun. :) Cheers!
This is so nice! :) I hope you win!
woah? in 2 hours? you sure are an expert! i like this! i agree with @olaivart though, i think you should increase the font size of the text. hehe. just saying. good luck to us.
Great work!
I wanna give this a try so here's my entry for this month's thumbnail competition:

Good luck to everyone joining! Cheers!
I have made a simplified version of my 1st design (Dec. 30, 2017) which is my FINAL ENTRY piece. :)
But if one user is allowed to contribute two landing images, then I humbly contribute these two! Thanks, @sndbox!
Good! :-)
Hey! Thank you! :) Good luck to us!
awesome. talented
I'd be happy to learn from you! Thank you, @podanrj! :)
beautiful artwork!
Appreciate your upvote and comment, @invein! Thanks so much!
and this is cool. amazing
Awww thanks a lot, @bazla! :D
You make it very nice. so it has many objects in the imagination.
Thanks! Although I feel like I have added too much?
i really love your first design. why is that? :)
Awww thanks, @wens! :) I just felt like I needed to emphasize the words more? Should I switch my entry back to the 1st one? What do you think?
or you can submit the other as your second entry. both of these stand a big chance on winning. that's for sure!

Yaaay. I was impatient to see the next contest. Here is my stuff. I was trying to explore different ways, not just that flat graphics.

My work for state of the sndbox competition link:https://steemit.com/sndbox/@mevsuf/state-of-the-sndbox-competition-sndbox-time
Dope concept!
Thank you @ngfx
Simple idea, very well executed. I am wondering if the text is too small for the function the thumbnail. Regardless. Very good.
Thank you very much. :)
