Hey, thank you for your comment! 😉
I agree with you that it's too different to judge it together.

Currently we don't have any contest for the artwork only. Just the cover photo (artwork photo is allowed, although photography is prefered).

Sometimes I might select another work and reward it extra, like this week. Then the chance that artwork will be selected increases. It all depends how much space will I have in the newspaper. "Steemit Weekly" has always 20 pages. Selecting the articles and photos is challenging - it can't be too much text neither too little.

I will consider making another contest categories in the future but it depends on the budget I'll have and partnership with the new communities. Xpilar is fantastic for the photo cover, art contest could be made in some artistic community.

Next contest will be announced on Friday. Right now we are making one edition every two weeks. It will be once per week in some point but it will increase total monthly cost from approx 470 steem yo 940 steem so... I'm not ready for that yet ;)

Have a great day!
