Hey Steemians!
We have just reached the 6 months mark, half way through 'Series 1'!
Thanks to all of you for helping make us reach this far!
A very special week 26 of #zencolouringcontest starts now!
Each week I will provide a stencil to be coloured in with no restrictions on the medium used, with a chance to win 45% of this posts payout and the weeks' donations for 1st place.
To add a little twist and interaction within the community, there will be a featured colour each week, picked at random from entrant's choices. This colour must be used in some way in your interpretation (use as little or as much of the featured colour as you like).
The featured colour this week is Yellow
Below is a screen capture of the random picker's selection:
(with example shades of the colour)
The contest will run week to week, to provide enough time for entrants to colour in the pattern. It's Zen for a reason!

Tuesday 7th, 18:00 CET - 'Week Starts' post
Tuesday 14th, 12:00 CET - 'Week Ending' post

This week the very special stencil is of course, if you hadn't guessed it, the #zencolouringcontest logo! This week we hit 6 months old for the contest, so to celebrate I thought it was time to let you guys colour the logo. Because we are celebrating, every entry will be made to fit into the New and Permanent 'Sign Off Logo' animation coming soon. The new animation will appear at the bottom of every contest post from 'Week 27' and onward!
Have fun, but most importantly have a relaxing zen-colouring sesh!

I love the tones and shades of yellow that you used, it creates a very golden and regal look. the shading within each section creates a lot of depth and dimension and the background pairs nicely with the whole design!
Please name your suggestion for next week's featured colour!
Thank you and awesome pick for this week’s stencil!
Hmm 🤔 maybe purple?

I love the clever and original use of the featured colour, yellow, as the background. I makes the black section and darker shades stand out. I also like the subtle gradients within the outer shapes!

Beautiful! I like the space background :)
Thank you @magiccleatus for this Zen and relaxing contest
This is my entry ...
My color suggestion for the next week is Peacock Color Palette
Green, Sky Blue, Purple and Gold...
I love the pattern created by the shades of yellow you used within the outer sections of the stencil. I also like how the darker shades inside the flower vines create a nice divide between the those outer sections. The background compliments the design very well!
Welcome to the #zencolouringcontest, thanks for entering!
Thanks for naming Peacock Palette! as your suggestion for next weeks featured colour!

Thanks so much @sallybeth23! I though it was about time the community got to play around with the logo itself, what better occasion than the 6 month mark!
I love this design by the way...
