Hey Steemians!
Week 3 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 2 SBD for 1st place.
To add a little twist and interaction within the community, there will be a featured colour each week, picked by the winner of the previous week. 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 chosen by

Week 2 was a HUGE success! There were so many beautiful entries. I can't wait to see what you all do with the new pattern!
Have fun, but most importantly have a relaxing zen-colouring sesh!
If you have any feedback or ideas about the competition I would love to hear them!
"What if, instead of the featured colour being picked by the winner, you put eveyones choice in a randomizer and have that choose the featured colour?"
"Just throwing a suggestion out there. Because the contest is zen, what if all entrants got an equal share of the prize pool?"
