Litecoin (LTC) Logo Art Challenge Winners [Epic Retweets by Charlie Lee!]

Retweets by the Charlie Lee and The Litecoin Foundation

---

One of the core goals of this ongoing challenge is to fold new talent into the Steem community - through art. Outreach is essential. This is why our team @sndbox and @creativecrypto have been building a presence on Twitter and drawing more eyes and ears into the Steem universe. Yesterday we tweeted out a GIF of some of the stand-out examples from our latest Litecoin/LTC logo competition and it immediately stirred up a massive amount of engagement. Turns out that the very creator of LTC, Charlie Lee, and his affiliated Litecoin Foundation shared our tweet on their respective channels. As of now, there have been over 600 likes, 160 retweets, and according to the analytics on our end, 214,000 impressions and climbing.

This is just the start. We are thrilled with the response and added visibility to both our new Twitter account and the official Steemit twitter account. We’re hoping this type of publicity will attract many more into Steemit as the central forum for information and creativity concerning blockchain and cryptocurrency as a whole.

And Now... The Winners!

This past week, participants were tasked with interpreting the LTC logo through the lens of a famous artist (Picasso, Van Gogh, David Hockney, Michelangelo etc.) - or style (cubism, pointilism, bauhaus, deconstructivism, impressionism, etc.) Other components of the image (background, details, other elements) were completely up to their imagination.

Here are some of our favorite and most creative entries!
