All Steemians were invited to compete for voting prizes and the winner would have their entry used as the cover of our May newsletters. We apologize for the lower votes this time around due to an unexpected change in Steem Power. If the winners comment on this post, we’ll be sure to give an additional upvote early next week when we’ve regained some more voting strength. Thank you to everyone (**nearly 100 Steemit artists**) who participated in this fun creative challenge! Let’s get right into the winners - ## First Place [100% Upvote] @ninjace --- **Congratulations to @ninjace for the winning entry!** Ninjace’s neon GIF is a really creative and tastefully animated rendition of the newsletter’s aesthetic and Sndbox logo. We’re excited to use this awesome work over the next month! https://youtu.be/QxKWGCDUFYA [Support the original post, here.](https://steemit.com/sndbox/@ninjace/state-of-the-sndbox-competition-entry-sots-neon-lights) ## Second Place [50% Upvote] @jeeuuzz --- **2nd place goes to @jeeuuzz!** We’ve been meaning to take a vacation but we’ll have to settle for this virtual getaway instead.
