A few days ago I wrote a post suggesting that I start a weekly Digital Artist Showcase in which a selected steemit digital artist of the week will be featured along with their digital work - 3D design, digital painting, video effects etc. Alongside this I plan a weekly themed competition with prizes to be decided. I was happy to see so much interest expressed with some great offers of help to set it up from fellow steemians Hive account@imagin8orr and Hive account@ryivhnn and I am here to announce the inaugural competition.

I want a banner made to head the Digital Artist Showcase posts and therefore to be the featured image in the post listing. It has to be 100% digital (sorry traditional folk, there are other competitions on steemit :p ) and totally your own work. It must be eye catching and feature the title Digital Artist Showcase. A 800x480 resolution is ideal but if it is larger you can expect it to be cropped or resized should it be the winner.

From the video effects gurus I would like a 2 GIFs to liven up all future posts, similar in size to the one above. They don't have to have the name Digital Artist Showcase featured as long as they are cool and within the theme of the Showcase.

10 SBD will be awarded to the designer of the banner

10 SBD will be awarded to each of 2 GIF designers

Total prize fund = 30 SBD

The competition runs through this week until the 21:00 GMT 19th June 2017 and I will announce the winners on the 20th June 2017 - for your time local to go HERE

The more upvotes and resteems this post gets, the higher the prize pool for next week's competition!

If you are a digital artist and want me to see your work in preparation for the featured digital artist of the week, please send me a message on steemit chat. I will follow all digital artists but your blog must feature some of your work - I don't do a follow for a follow.
