Creative Comp - All Are Welcome!! Winners of last week! Entrants for this week! Prize pool over 20SBD.
Hello fellow creators!
Welcome to the new and improved creative competition.
The way the prizes will be handed out is a little different here because well I just find it so hard to only reward some of you and I want everyone to get a win.
So I will be using a sliding scale from first to last place and awarding a prize for every participant using ~50% of the liquid SBD value of the post creating a pot over time that slowly grows, perhaps do special things with, like help out a creative individual with some supplies or similar initiative.
Any original creative work is eligible for entry, writing piece, art, photography, anything you consider creative (no nsfw please), all you have to do is follow @sammosk and up-vote, resteem this post. You may enter up to 7 times during 1 competition. Once per day.
Please remember to tag your post with #creativecomp and drop it in a reply to this thread or I might not be able to find it!
I would love it if you let as many of our fellow creatives know about this competition by re-steeming this post.
Deadline will be ~7 days from today.
Judging will now be based on the following, there will be a separate post with all the entrants from the previous week, judging will be based upon voting on the comments in the lower portion of that post and should be voted on. The ranking of the comments after the following week will be awarded the prizes.
In the event of a tie the value will be used to rank or if no vote, you will share that prize level with someone else.
Good luck to you all this week, much love, and stay creative! <3
Getting a total of 11.54~ SBD are the following entrants curated by the community!
There was a bonus of 5 SBD for first, 3 SBD for second and 2 SBD for third place kindly provided by @poeticsnake for a total of over 20 SBD in prizes for last week!
The reward for this week will be determined by the value on this post.
And what the hell, lets do another 3 SBD for first place this week, 2.5 SBD for second and 2 SBD for third 1.5 SBD fourth and 1 SBD for fifth. @travelnurse and @sammosk have pledged 2 SBD each and @eturnerx has pledged 6 SBD to make this happen. @clayboyn donated 10.866 SBD generously as well.

Your Art Explosion contest has awesome entries.
Would you mind if I entered this artwork for your newest one? The theme animals? :D
I saw the rule that it has to be inspired by the contest that's why asking
If not can I just share as unofficial comment (not entry)? ^^
You're welcome! Sure just add the tag and follow the rest of the rules and you're golden!!

Thank you. I have voted as requested ;)
You are amazing, thank you. <3
Part of the goal of this competition is to foster new engagement between users as well. So I hope you ducked into some of the blogs and took a peeker at some of the newer stuff. :)
Much love. <3
This is such a great initiative worth supporting. Just look at all the entrants that are sharing their works!!!
I also thank you for the sweet little gift I received in my wallet!! I didn't see my post on the list above, but then there are many, perhaps I overlooked it. Or, perhaps you are saying that last week's entries will be judged this week. I am a bit confused since I already received a financial blessing from you.
I'm super glad you're changing up the voting system. It feels best that everyone have an equal chance to win, not just based on who entered first. I know for me, I made it through some of the posts to make comments, but those who were near the bottom didn't get my attention like those at the top
I would also love to see the entry images posted in the comment section. Clicking back and forth between all the posts takes a ton or time and discourages one from opening all the entries to even view what they have to offer. I know some of the entries are not visual, and that clicking on the posts really gives us more of a scope of the artists' work, but perhaps they would get more views if we had a little taste upfront to entice us toward the fullness of the post. Just a thought! I'm not really clear on the judging, but that's not of primary importance to me. The sharing, building community, and exploring our passions is.
Great job @sammosk! You're really doing it! Thanks for bringing us together!
There are multiple ways to get a win from these two projects, one would be to submit an entry and fulfill the requirements and therefore be judged upon by the community and potentially win. (If you get to this point you are guaranteed a win).
Or you can vote upon the other judging thread, or comment on the entrant comments themselves, engage with one anothers blogs (Yes I dig that deep and look for future engagement beyond this event). (This has a random aspect and I just pick up to 20-25 winners from the above and award a prize, I believe this is how you won the little gift earlier!).
The whole idea is to foster new branches in your networks. I really like when people put the effort into submitting a picture along with the entry this is fun for me and I would love to put pictures and so on into the judging comments and have thought hard about that. However this would add significantly to the bookkeeping in terms of actually posting each comment, and I believe the bare link adds to the mystery and allure and could potentially get that click as well?
So there are positives and negatives to each I guess.
The judging process is simple, the community votes, each vote is equal (1 vote = 1 vote keeps things fair) unless there is a tie, at which point I rank them by the value of the comment. (It's easier). I did it like this because manually curating each and every post, commenting on each one, and trying to quantify and evaluate them all was actually a nightmare task for me. (I loved them all)
So yeah, I have tried to mix it up a bit and get the community involved, but hardly anyone votes so that is discouraging.
Maybe I will try the adding in the pictures / little sneak of the content next week, but it will likely take me a day just to get that post up. haha.
Thanks for taking the time to comment and support, much love. <3
There are definitely pros and cons to all ways of judging. I'm so grateful I have chosen to do a collaboration instead of a contest. I wouldn't be able to choose top picks from the Collaborative Art Journey either--as they are all so amazing in their own right. I remember being graded in school in art class and just hated that one person's idea of art could carry so much weight. I believe a lot of people are turned off by being judged, though it is so common in our experience that we often get a lot of our motivation, self-worth and value based on how others feel about us and what we do. Art is so subjective and is something different to each of us. I do not wish to be in your shoes!
Just viewing, double commenting and compiling the posts with all the links to photos and posts is very time consuming, so I can totally understand some of the complications of running such an initiative. I know that money is often the incentive for doing things, though I feel ideally its an incredible bonus for doing what we love and would do anyway.
Thanks for working toward a great experience that will benefit Steemians and Steemit in many ways. I appreciate your bringing value to the platform @sammosk!
I just want to see people to be rewarded further for their efforts, it is important to me to inspire and empower.
I have no issue at all if it comes out of my pocket, or out of my time.
I agree with you completely on the collaboration, but can you imagine getting 50-60 people all together and working on one project. I barely have time to do this and mod the discord.
Throws any of my issues with single user judging out the window and brings in a whole new ballgame hahaha.
I really do enjoy the competition tho.
Some of the most fantastic things I have seen on steemit have visited me here. Take @michelleart's entry for example.
Amazing stuff, I am so thankful for the chance to support this.
Thanks again for dropping by everlove. much loves for you. <3
A lot of people enjoy the competition. I feel that whatever brings us together as a community in support and enjoyment of each other is worth exploring. The CAJ has definitely been worth the investment and I can tell you feel the same about providing this opportunity. It is truly amazing stuff and it's so much fun to do it together! Grateful to be here with you @sammosk.
