Hey Steemians!
Week 12 of #zencolouringcontest starts now!
Each week I will provide a stencil to be coloured in with no restrictions on the medium used, with a chance to win 45% of this posts payout and the weeks' donations for 1st place.
To add a little twist and interaction within the community, there will be a featured colour each week, picked at random from entrant's choices. This colour must be used in some way in your interpretation (use as little or as much of the featured colour as you like).
The featured colour this week is Red
Below is a screen capture of the random picker's selection:
(with example shades of the colour)
The contest will run week to week, to provide enough time for entrants to colour in the pattern. It's Zen for a reason!

Happy Birthday here my entrance: https://steemit.com/zencolouringcontest/@reciclajeymas/entry-for-zen-colouring-contest-12
Hi everyone this is my entry for this awesome contest:
Enjoy!!
-Katy-
Wow!
Thanks i'm glad you like it!
What a fantastic post. The concept for the colouring contest alone is brilliant, as it will engage many who do not have the desire or skills to enter certain other contests.
Above that, the entire post is layed out and presented in a meticulous fashion. Apparently quite a bit of time and effort went into this, so I surely hope you will be rewarded -- in the short term and in the long run.
Keep up the excellent work. And just think where your contest will be in 2-3 year's time.
Full Steem Ahead.
Thanks for your lovely comments. One of the reasons I designed it to be a colouring contest was to encourage the people like you described.
I tried to make it look vibrant, organised and pleasing to the eye, to keep the readers and entrants engaged. Thank you for your wishes of success.
I am brainstorming ideas to improve & upgrade the contest all the time. I look forward to seeing what it will become in the years ahead!
Your diligence, efforts, and desire to continually improve are commendable. Steemit's ultimate success will be the result of such high-quality work.
Onwards!
