Let me introduce you to the many flavors of the Steemit Art Community. There's a rich variety of challenges, contests and collaborations to pick from! There are many more experienced artists on Steemit that could write this list and it's maybe been written before, but this is my contribution to this lovely community and all the dedicated people hosting. I've tried many of the challenges the last months and hope you share the list with your friends to involve more people in the creative explosion happening at this moment. I'll give you a quick introduction - seek out each host for more information. And tell me if I've missed any major event, maybe in other languages than English.

List of reoccurring events (alphabetic order by type):

(Reward is only one of many possible motivations to be active in the Steemit art community, as Hive account@everlove expressed the benefits of taking part of Steemit art collaborations: finding connections, learning each other's styles, melding our talents, sharing our passions, exchanging positively good feeling energy, upping our own abilities, showing gratitude and appreciation, inspiring others (and much more...). I have marked collaborations not including any competition, altcoin or SBD reward with a (&) symbol. Although reward is great motivation I think other values are more important if we're about to create a more collaborative world.)

There are lots of people needing a helping hand when it comes to visuals. Logos, art and different sorts of design. In the contest-tag or different art tags Steemians post new challenges daily. And there is a newer diminishing need for new logos, banners, wallpapers, footers and so on! :D (One place new challenges are posted is the Steemit Designers Facebook group)
