Zen Colouring Contest #24 - A chance to win SBD by colouring a weekly pattern!

magiccleatus (57)in #zencolouringcontest • 6 years ago

Hey Steemians!

Week 24 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 45% of this posts payout and the weeks' donations for 1st place.

To add a little twist and interaction within the community, there will be a featured colour each week, picked at random from entrant's choices. 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 is Retro Colour Palette
Below is a screen capture of the random picker's selection:

@sallybeth23 donated 2.0 SBD last week, Thank you!

This weeks stencil is inspired by flowers and time. I used all of the numbers associated with time to create this pattern within the flower. 60 seconds, 60 minutes, 12 & 24 hours, 12 months, 4 seasons, 52 weeks and 7 days all play a part in each corresponding section. With that I name this stencil 'The Flower of Time!'.

Have fun, but most importantly have a relaxing zen-colouring sesh!

_{If you have any suggestions or ideas about the contest please leave a comment below and your input will be displayed here in future posts.}

@icedrum suggests: A small entry fee from participants, equal to their own level in 0.SBD _{(e.g. Mine would be 0.55SBD)}, to go towards a community funded prize pool.
What is the community's thoughts on this? Let me know in the comments. Perhaps if that seems like a lot to newbies we could say the entry fee could be "0.0'User Rep' SBD"?

Do you have any suggestions on how to increase the prize pool?
