The #33 round of Hive Art Contest: Vote now!
🌞 **Vacation Mode: Round 33 Brings a New Voting Experience!** 🌞
We received an amazing **107 submissions** this round – thank you all for your creativity and participation! This time, as announced, we’re piloting a new contest format: instead of voting for all entries, we've curated a (completely subjective!) shortlist of especially striking artworks for you to vote on. We hope this makes voting easier and more fun for everyone!
**Special shoutout to @bananzell, who earned a whopping FIVE nominations this week. Huge applause for such an incredibly creative and productive week! 👏**
💡 _Tip for future rounds: nominations are based on the main/cover image of your post, so always choose a photo that best represents your work!_
## **Cast your votes in the comments under this post!**
You have **three votes** to distribute:
- **3 points** for your favorite artwork,
- **2 points** for your second choice,
- **1 point** for your third choice.
Please be precise when indicating how many points you are awarding to a given participant. Some votes are unclear, and it's difficult to guess whether the numbers 1, 2, and 3 represent the ranking position or the points. :)
Don't forget to include the **author’s name** and the **title of the post**, **the number** or the **link to the post** in your comment. In case of imprecise information, the vote will be assigned to the first submission of the participant.
