Thank you to everyone who participated in the **Bitshares Fan Art Challenge**, we had such an incredible response to this challenge and it was great to see so many people putting together some creative entries. The missions of this Bitshares fan Art Challenge was to create a FUN and INSPIRATIONAL Fan Art graphic to shine a spotlight on the Bitshares Community and the POWER of our Cross-Chain Tokens. We asked that the artwork be creative designs that also feature the Whaleshare, Beyondbit, and EOSBit cross-chain token logos since they harness the synergy between the Bitshares, STEEM, *and soon many other* chains. ## 🏆 Now for the Winners! We really liked so many of the fan art entries submitted this week, however 3 designs really stood out for not only their creativity and message of cross-chain synergy around Bistshares, **but for being 100% original designs**. We know how much time and effort it takes to create this kind of art work from scratch without using stock photos or clip art as the main graphical elements.

This is a really cool interpretation of the cross-chain tokens working together around the Bitshares DEX like a rouge crypto gang roaming the seas to build a new and better world for us all. Thank you for including your work in progress animation as well, it was really cool to get an insight of how it was all put together.

### What are Whaleshare, Beyondbit and EOSBit? These tokens started as a conversations in the BeyondBitcoin hangout series shortly after Steem was launched historically in those very hangouts. It began as "community tokens" or "tag coins". These cross-chain tokens give their holders the power to Summon a Whalevote to posts without having to pay for attention. And they are only given to people who Participate in Challenges, Win Contests and do other things of value for the community! Whaleshare, BeyondBit and EOSBit tokens are on BitShares! So make sure you have a BitShares/OpenLedger account to receive and send them for upvotes on your Steem posts! ### HOLD on to your EOSBit! These powerful cross-chain tokens will be very valuable in the future once EOS.IO has launched and associated DApps are brought online. We encourage you to participate in as many challenges as you are capable of and save up your EOSBit! *You might want to consider holding on to your WHALESHARE tokens too*. ;-)
