🎨 Art Contest Winners Announcement! 🎨

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in this week's art contest — both the incredibly talented artists who shared their work and the community members who took the time to vote! Your engagement and creativity continue to inspire us all.

We’re excited to announce this week’s winning entries:

The winners

🥇 1st place:

@maiasun84 Momo finds Cassiopeia - 22 pts - prize: 20% of the post's earnings + 300 Ecency Points

This pencil sketch beautifully captures that magical and quiet moment from Momo—the gentle meeting between the girl and Cassiopeia. There’s such tenderness in the way they face each other, both curious, both calm. The girl's wide-eyed expression and wild curls contrast softly with the turtle’s ancient, grounded presence.

Your reflection on the story adds another layer to the drawing—it becomes more than a scene, it becomes a symbol. Cassiopeia truly does feel like time made visible: patient, mysterious, and leading us toward what really matters. The delicate lines and textured paper give everything a handmade, timeless quality—just like Ende’s writing.

🥈 2nd places:

• @athmika Art of a butterfly and flower - 6 pts - prize: 15% of the post's earnings + 150 Ecency Points

Your sketch is simple yet elegant—the contrast between the delicately outlined flowers and the bold, dark butterfly wing creates a beautiful visual balance. The intricate floral details paired with the solid black ink of the butterfly give it a graceful yet striking look.

There’s a calmness and care visible in your lines, and your use of space is very thoughtful. The yellow signature adds a nice warm touch too. Looking forward to seeing more of your creations as you continue this journey on the Hive platform. Keep it up!

• @de-maria When the Sun Stood Still. - 6 pts - prize: 15% of the post's earnings + 150 Ecency Points

This painting is absolutely luminous—both visually and emotionally. The way you’ve captured the contrast between the rich, glowing sunset and the deep greens of the foreground evokes that exact fleeting stillness your poem describes.

The poem is beautiful and reflective, complementing the painting perfectly. You’ve paired image and words in a way that enhances both. Your art does speak for itself—quietly profound and full of mood. Keep creating and sharing like this; your work holds a calm, yet moving presence.
