Artists, Poets and Musicians Get In Here! I'm having a creative competition with prizes! ART EXPLOSION WEEK 3 ❤️❤️❤️
Since joining Steemit one of my favourite things has been the contests and competitions! I've met tons of cool people so far just by participating and really began connecting with other artists here which is a basically a win-win for everyone. As a total noob it gave me a reason to socialize and the prompts can really help you go outside of your box creatively. I've decided to hold my own, I'm calling it ART EXPLOSION, THIS IS WEEK 3!
See the winners of the previous week here: https://steemit.com/art/@juliakponsford/art-explosion-week-2-winners-opera-glow-in-the-dark-painting-photography-and-creative-writing-what-fabulous-entries-this-week
Here's the competition, as you can see above the theme this week is LOVE. This can be interpreted as directly or indirectly as you please, but I am adding a note to that, if the relation to the theme is not obvious please explain in your post how it is related for you! All forms of art are acceptable, painting, illustration, photography, music, poetry, a story a comic or any other medium you choose, be creative and surprise me!
+++++++
Upvote and Resteem this post
Make some art (max two entries per person and please new art inspired by this contest or at least not already posted on steemit)
Make a post of your own for your entry (add artexplosion in the tags)
Link it here in the comments obviously so I can find it.
Do this BY NEXT SUNDAY AT 5EST BECAUSE I AM LEAVING ON MONDAY FOR A VACATION!
I'll be choosing the winner based on whatever tickles and touches me the most!
It is evident from the last two weeks that I cannot only pick one or two winners so I am changing the payout structure to spread it around a little more!The winner will get 7SBD and 25% of the post payout. I will be awarding a second place of 3SBD and possible honourable mentions again!
This is not a requirement but it would be a nice gesture to view the other entries and upvote them if you like so we can support each other and pass this on to any artists or friends you think may be interested :)
I can't wait to see what you create!

Ok, This was not easy. My entry is a combo of original music, photography and a poem that I just spent too much time pulling my hair out of over to get it to a point I wasn't totally embarrassed by it. I hope you all enjoy it.

I appreciate it very much, thanks for the entry 💖
I'm going to do you a post after going shopping.
Needs be when the devil vomits in your breakfast, as Edmund would say.
But I am afraid that I am not making you a new work, but you will agree that the work I propose to you fits the theme, more literally impossible.
I did already post a love waves painting here, on my first day. But I am going to do you I great post, I promise.
big hugs
I wrote a poem. I hope you like it!
