Hey Steemians!
Week 23 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 Blue
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!
This week's contest will run as follows:
(In the last couple of weeks there has been a few last minute entries that didn't make it.
So to help this there is now a new permanent change to the 'Week Ending' post time
so you don't have to rush last minute to get a post written.)

Would you like to help support the contest further? Whether you are an entrant or an admirer, If you would like to make a small donation towards the prize pool, please send it with the memo 'ZenColouring # Donation!'.
I myself will be donating 0.25 SBD to the prize pool each week.
@gardeningchef donated 2.0 SBD last week, Thank you!
The inspiration for this weeks stencil was summer and music. So with it being hot weather lately, I wanted to combine a fan with a speaker dome in this pattern.
I have officially changed the deadline time from 9am CET to 12pm CET (Midday) to allow more time to finish the colouring or to write up the entry post. I have also made the rule of creating an entry post optional, to attract more participants that don't want to make a whole post about it.
Have fun, but most importantly have a relaxing zen-colouring sesh!
