Splinterlands Art Contest Week 343!

This is the weekly art contest for Splinterlands fanart and Splinterlands inspired original artwork. We love to see your creations that are inspired by the game and our amazing cards and characters. We have some awesome players and artists in our community and it's inspirational to see the influence of Splinterlands on all the content created for our contests.

We offer the potential for some great curation upvotes from the official Splinterlands account from our diligent curators as well as some wonderful prizes for the selected winners. You don't have to have cards or play the game to participate. You also don't have to be a professional artist to participate! We do try to honor the effort that everyone puts into giving this contest their best try.

Due to some ongoing issues regarding plagiarism and multi-account usage we have recently updated some of our rules and guidelines and being a bit more strict on some of our expectations is necessary.

We encourage everyone to give this contest an opportunity to encourage their own creativity and participation. Here is how to make sure your entry is valid!
Please read our updated terms and conditions of participation in this contest.

Creations which may include, but aren't limited to:

• Drawings
• Paintings
• Digital Art
• Comics
• Logos
• Blog Dividers
• Blog Footers
• New Card Ideas
• Mixed Media Art
• Sculpture
• Needlework
• Dolls
• Computer Generated Art
• Cited and Sourced Mashups

Rules for Submission

New Rule: Community Commitment & Reward Eligibility

To ensure the long-term sustainability and growth of the Hive ecosystem, we will evaluate the long-term commitment of participants when selecting winners. Specifically, we will review past rewards earned and currently held Hive Power (HP) as part of the selection process.

Participants who demonstrate an investor mindset by holding and growing their HP are more likely to be rewarded. Those who consistently extract all rewards without reinvesting into the ecosystem may not be eligible for prizes.

This rule aims to celebrate and encourage commitment to the Hive blockchain, fostering a strong and engaged community.

• Post your creation on your own Hive account in any community you like - the winning packs will be sent to the account you submit to this contest

• Entries must be the participants' own original art. Plagiarism in any form will not be tolerated. All inspiration or unoriginal source material must be cited and sourced. Using art from any other source than your own original creative process, unless cited and sourced, will result in you being muted in the Splinterlands Community and being excluded from any and all curation or participation in future contests.

• Creativity will be factored into the possibility of curation or being a winner in the contest. Simply copying or tracing the cards and the exact Splinterland art that already exists will factor into your chances.

• Please describe what card or character you are using as your inspiration and show some steps of your artistic creative process! If you are making an original character tell us. If you are using a card or character for your art tell us which one.

• One entry per person or account per Weekly Art Contest. Curation is only available twice per seven days. This includes all other Splinterlands contests. So, drop your entry wisely.

• Anyone found using more than one account to enter the contest will be muted in the community and banned from all curation and the possibility for participation in future contests.

• Link your post's URL in the comments of this contest post.

• Do not embed your link.

• Include a picture with your link in the comments

• Upvotes are not guaranteed and are up to the curator's discretion. Creativity and Effort are two main factors in deciding curation values.

• As mentioned before, just copying or tracing the card characters and recoloring them will be minimally rewarded or not at all.

• Photoshopped collages without actual art will be considered less original creatively speaking and curated not as much as crafted art.

• Not including your progress steps will exclude you from winning or being curated. Not citing and sourcing any inspirational sources that are not your own original content will result in a ban from future participation and being muted in the Splinterlands community.

• Prizes will be sent out a few days after the contest results are announced

• Deadline for submissions is 3 days before the post payout.

10 Rebellion Packs will be split between the winners!!!
