Hello HIVE & [StreetArt](https://ecency.com/created/hive-184784) Community
Ciao [Olio di Balena](https://ecency.com/created/hive-146620)!
Hope you all doing all right
Welcome to the

Graffiti Lettering Contest

Welcome Back Everyone!

Hello my dear friends and participants, and new users as well, welcome to you all back to our bi-weekly creative space where you can unleash your creative mind to experiment with letters and letterings. I have seen so much great stuff from every single participant during our previous runs and received so many positive feedbacks by many of you and I need to say that it's really a pleasure to have you all here and I'm honoured to be able to give you this space! I am so happy with how things are going and with the support we receive by various members here on Hive and friends I've always been able to drop prizes to each one of you, and to start this #13 run I wanted to add 5 HBD to the prizes, I received a nice payout on my latest [Voting Post](https://ecency.com/hive-184784/@trippymane/voting-post-graffiti-lettering-contest-7d6621280fcd2) and I wanted to give back some to the community through my contest! _{For more info about the prizes for this contest scroll down to the section Prizes.}

So get ready to draw/create/sketch/spray/paint again because we're back!

The word for today is...

DELAY

You can probably guess why! LOL This post was meant to be up on Thursday but you know I had some complications and I took this as an opportunity to revamp a bit these posts! Hope you like the new look! There are also some extra prizes this week and I hope they make you more motivated to get some cool graffiti lettering done! 5 letter word, D starting, may not be the best starter but surely the final Y is a great final letter! the E and the A can make you go mad for how many different variants you can do and the L is a bit of a shitty letter but hey it's your job to make it cool! Show me what you got! Don't take an L on the L! LOL I wanted to be back in style, so I tried to do something a bit more advanced this time, let me know what you think about it in the comments if you feel fancy! Here's my work:
Information about the contest, how to participate, rules and prizes can all be found scrolling down in this post! I decided to show the new word immediately after the introduction to make it easier for the usual participants so you guys do not have to scroll down too much if you wanna jump in action as soon as you see the word!

Contest Overview

Probably many of you already know what everything is about! For the new members as you can probably guess from the title this contest is about **Graffiti** and **Lettering**. Everyy 2 weeks a new random "word" will be announced and the participants will have to make a nice **Graffiti Lettering** of it on paper (or in any way they want really, it can be drawn, painted, sprayed on a wall, you can do what you want! If you're crazy and want to go the extra mile you can even do a real graffiti on a wall!). Once you have finished with your Lettering then make a cool post about it, maybe showing us your process and explaining the creativity behind it and comment your entry under this Contest Post!

I am planning to do this at least 2 times a month in this way:

- I will post the **Contest Post** with the random word and participants will have time until Payout (7 days) to submit their entries. (The liquid payout of this post (HBD currently) will be used as the main prize to distribute between the **top 3** winners) - Once the Contest Post curation period expires I will do a **Voting Post** where participants and users can vote for their preferred entries, **(3 votes per person - anyone can vote, not only participants!)** Similarly to the **Contest Post** the **Voting Post** will be up and running until Payout (7 days) - Then I will post the next **Contest Entry** but at the start of the post I will announce the winners of the previous entry and send out the prizes (with screenshot proof). Hope it all makes sense!

How to Participate

- Upvote & Reblog **OR** Upvote and mention the contest post link in your entry post. - **Make your Graffiti Lettering of the given word.** Your work can be done in any way you prefer, draw it on paper, draw it digitally, draw it on your table, paint it, spay it, do a real graffiti on a wall, totally up to you! I did this contest with the idea of a quick lettering on paper in my mind but how you do it is totally up to you! - **Make a post showing the word**, if you feel fancy give us some background, show us the process, share that creative mind of yours with the community! _{You can post in any Community you prefer as long as you follow their guidelines!} - Post **the link to your entry post** and **the picture of your art** in a comment under this **Contest Post** to officialise your entry! **Please make sure to do this step so I don't miss any entry when I create the voting post!**

Contest Rules

- Contest **open to everyone** - Must be **your original** work! - One entry per person. - Entry expires with the post so you have 7 days from the start of this post to make your entry.

Prizes

- 100% of the liquid payout of this post will be used for the prizes for the **top 3** winners! Everyone's support is welcome 😁 Thanks to all of you that are supporting our little creative space! 😎 - 1st place 50%, 2nd place 30% and 3rd place 20% - 5 HBD by @trippymane (3.50 HBD for the **top 3** and 1.50 for the **3 honourable mentions**) - 1st place 50%, 2nd place 30% and 3rd place 20% (from the 3.50 HDB), 3 honourable mentions will split equally 1.50 HBD - 400 ECENCY Points by @trippymane _{I wanted to thank @melinda010100 for having supported our contest for a long time with the extra 400 ECENCY Points, she is now supporting other new contests around the chain which is super fair! But I checked with her to see if it's OK to keep giving out those 400 Points with this contest from my own pocket, she said it's no problem so I'm very happy to do so!} - 1st place 150, 2nd place 100, 3rd place 50, 3 honourable mentions 20, participation with no win or mention 10 - 3 honourable mentions will also be each given extra 0.20 HIVE from me (or a random amount lower than the 3rd place payout, to make it fair) When I will post the Voting Post for this round and we'll know how much is the Liquid HBD I will show all of this prizes in a nice pie chart and everything will make more sense! The prizes will be distributed after the Voting Post for this round (out in 7 days) which is also when I post the next Contest Post! So around ~14 days from today. _{Also worth mentioning that I personally support each one of you that participate here, I manually curate every participation post 100%, every participation comment 100% and always try to drop some PIZZA, LOL, LUV, PGM, BBH tips. My account is tiny and my upvotes are not worth much, but they are genuine 100% like 99% of my activity on Hive, I'm no bot lol}

Participants & Supporters

Take your time man! No rush, enjoy the process!</sup> A **Huge Thank You** to @heroldius and @digi-me and their #StreetArt community, they kindly gave me the Go to post this contest in their community! **And I see you pin these posts so a huge thank you for this also**! I'm sure this will boost the Contest and help it to get some extra visibility! Big UP [StreetArt](https://ecency.com/created/hive-184784) community! 😎 And a Very Big Thank You to [Olio di Balena](https://ecency.com/created/hive-146620) Community for having created such an amazing space on this chain for the Italian content and members! I recently started making connections with Italian members and I'm also trying to post in Italian every now and then, so I decided to do the bilingual version of this contest to include Italian members and friends, the only way for me to do so unfortunately is to cross-post this contest in [Olio di Balena](https://ecency.com/created/hive-146620). I checked and should not be a problem but I wanted to clarify that I'm not doing this for extra upvotes from you guys in [Olio di Balena](https://ecency.com/created/hive-146620), if someone wants to participate obviously an upvote is welcome but feel free to ignore this content if not of your interest. I simply want to extend the reach of my contest to the Italian side of the chain, if cross-posting these posts in your community is a problem or not welcome I will stop altogether, I do not want to create any problem 😎 Thank you!

Join [StreetArt](https://ecency.com/created/hive-184784) today!

Unisciti a [Olio di Balena](https://ecency.com/created/hive-146620) oggi!

Hello HIVE & [StreetArt](https://ecency.com/created/hive-184784) Community
Ciao [Olio di Balena](https://ecency.com/created/hive-146620)!
Spero stiate tutti alla grande!
Benvenuti al

Graffiti Lettering Contest

Bentornati! Daje!

Cari amici, partecipanti e nuovi utenti, ciao e bentornati nel nostro spazio creativo bisettimanale, dove potete liberare la vostra mente artistica per sperimentare lettere e lettering. Nelle precedenti edizioni ho visto veramente tante cose fantastiche da ogni singolo partecipante ed ho ricevuto tanti feedback positivi da molti di voi; e’ davvero un piacere avervi tutti qui e sono onorato di potervi dedicare questo spazio! Sono davvero felice di come stanno andando le cose e con il supporto che ricevo da diversi membri di Hive e amici, sono sempre in grado di distribuire premi a tutti partecipanti. Per iniziare questa edizione, la numero #13, volevo aggiungere 5 HBD ai premi; ho ricevuto un bel payout al mio ultimo [Voting Post](https://ecency.com/hive-184784/@trippymane/voting-post-graffiti-lettering-contest-7d6621280fcd2) e voglio ridistribuire alla comunità attraverso il mio contest! _{Per maggiori informazioni riguardanti i premi di questo contest vedi sotto la sezione Premi.}

Preparatevi a disegnare/creare/'sketchare'/spruzzare/dipingere di nuovo perché siamo tornati!

La parola per oggi è...

DELAY

Probabilmente potete indovinare perché! LOL Questo post doveva essere pubblicato giovedì, ma come gia' sapete, ci sono state complicazioni che ho deciso di cogliere come un'opportunità per rinnovare un po' il layout dei questi post! Spero che il nuovo look vi piaccia! Questa settimana ci saranno premi extra e spero che vi motivino di piu' a realizzare delle belle scritte stile graffiti! Parola di 5 lettere: la D iniziale potrebbe non essere la migliore lettera per iniziare ma sicuramente abbiamo una ottima chiusura, la Y! La E e la A potrebbero farvi impazzire per le diverse varianti possibili. La L e' un po' una lettera del cavolo, ma ehi, il vostro lavoro puo' renderla interessante! Fatemi vedere cosa sapete fare! "Don't take an L on the L"! LOL (Non sono sicuro questa frase abbia senso tradotta in italiano, ma significa: non prendere una L (loss=sconfitta) con la lettera L). Volevo un ritorno in grande stile cosi’ ho provato a fare qualcosa piu’ avanzato; se vi va, fatemi sapere cosa ne pensate nei commenti! Ecco il mio lavoro:
Sotto, scorrendo questo post, potete trovare informazioni sul concorso, come partecipare, regole e premi! Ho deciso di mostrare la nuova parola per la prossima edizione del contest subito dopo l'introduzione, perche’ sia piu’ facile per i partecipanti veterani trovarla senza dover scorrere tutto il post ed entrare cosi subito in azione!

Informazioni sul contest

Probabilmente molti di voi sanno già di cosa si tratta! Per i nuovi membri, come probabilmente potete intuire dal titolo, questo concorso riguarda **Graffiti** e **Lettering**. Ogni due settimane viene annunciata una parola che i partecipanti al concorso dovranno presentare con un **Graffiti Lettering** su carta (o altri formati, libera scielta, e’ possibile disegnare, dipingere, spruzzare su un muro la parola data! Perche’ no, un vero graffito su parete!). Una volta che avete finito con il Lettering, scriveteci un bel post magari mostrando il processo creativo e spiegando l'idea dietro alla vostra creazione e commentate questo Contest Post con la vostra entrata al contest!

Ho intenzione di proporre il contesti 2 volte al mese in questa maniera:

- Pubbliccare il **Contest Post** con una parola e i partecipanti avranno tempo fino al Pagamento di quest'ultimo (7 giorni) per inviare le loro opere. (Il pagamento liquido di questo post (al momento HBD) verrà utilizzato come premio principale da distribuire tra i **primi 3** vincitori) - Alla scadenza del Contest Post, ci sara' un **Voting Post** in cui i partecipanti e tutti gli utenti Hive e anche i partecipanti al concorso potranno votare i loro lettering preferiti. **(3 voti a persona - chiunque può votare, non solo i partecipanti!)** Come il **Contest Post**, il **Voting Post** sarà attivo e funzionante fino al Pagamento di quest'ultimo (7 giorni) - Saranno pubblicati i nomi dei vincitori all’inizio del successivo **Contest Post**, con screenshot come prova del pagamento dei premi.. Spero che tutto abbia senso!

Come partecipare

- Upvote & Reblog **OPPURE** Upvote e menziona il link di questo post nel tuo post di partecipazione al contest.. - **Crea il tuo Graffiti Lettering della parola data.** Il tuo lavoro può essere svolto nel modo che piu' preferisci, disegnalo su carta, disegnalo in digitale, disegnalo sul tuo tavolo, dipingilo, fai un vero graffito su un muro, dipende solo da te! Ho pensato questo contest con l'idea di un veloce lettering creato nella mente e riportato su carta, ma a te la scelta! - **Fai un post mostrando la parola**, se hai voglia puoi darci un po' di background e mostrarci il processo creativo, condividi la tua mente artistica con la community! _{Puoi postare in qualsiasi community preferisci, purché tu se}
