I've just downloaded the latest node and the windows client and the client is currently synchronizing with the network. I've not even received my invitation code, hence asked if I need to wait till the next validation shown on the website.

I  see the next validation in 4 days according to the website. As a 1st timer, does that mean I"ll have to wait for  4 days to start mining?

Can't wait to see the shortlisted designs and how they look in the sample. Getting desperate now and I keep refreshing the page every 5 minutes. 

I too feel users should give due credit for images taken online. If stock images are used, the user should have the rights to use the image, provided the given stock image does not form the majority / all of the design. I think the high merits given by Theymos could be him appreciating the art / design work and that the art / design would have been entirely created by the said user. This contest could be for fun but that does not mean that it should be filled with  plagiarized or copyrighted content. This essentially mocks people who have put in the effort to create the art / design work themselves. There are however some truly incredible art / design work in this contest. I've also seen some users who have posted art / design work that is someone else's but they have pointed that out and have also not given their BTC addresses in those posts showing how it should be done if the art / design work is not theirs. BTW, @Yatsan, your art works are amazing.

My first entry can be seen here.

The following is my 2nd and 3rd entry for the 10th Anniversary Art Contest. The following entries are also two of my entries in the Coldkey contest by yogg.
My 2nd entry is based on my 1st entry in this contest.

With 2 contests running at the same time, "10th anniversary art contest" and "[CONTEST] Design the 10 years of Bitcointalk commemorative Coldkey ($500+ prize)", can a user submit the exact same art/design without any modification/improvisation? Yogg who runs the Coldkey contest did say entries in the 10th anniversary art contest can be used in coldkey contest with adaptations/modifications. My 1st entry in the coldkey contest was based on my 1st entry in the 10th anniversary art contest. I need opinions if I can use the final art/design entries submitted in coldkey contest be submitted in the 10th anniversary art contest.

The time gap between the contest deadline and start of the poll will look like a real long wait for all the participants with greater anticipation. I can't wait to see the short listed entries.

Just added my 3rd entry. Looking forward to see more entries from others before the deadline in 10 hours.

Thank you for your reply. Happy to participate in this contest. I'll be submitting more entries and looking forward for others too to submit more.
If I understand correctly, all entries that are shortlisted for the poll will be printed and will be for sale even if those entries do not end up in the top three. If that is so, that itself is a win for designers and finishing in the top three is the jackpot.

Edit: Would you be doing test prints on entries that you've merited like the earlier 2 designs before the deadline? Just eager to see how my design would look on the cards.

I feel more rules need to be added mainly on voting in the poll, how many designs from a single user may be shortlisted, etc. As of now there are very less designs and just 2 days left for the entry deadline. What if the number of quality entries remain less? Will the deadline date be extended in such a case or designs will still be shortlisted from the current entries even if there are no more entries from now? To make this question a bit more clear, minimum how many entries will be shortlisted for the poll? Will contest participants be allowed to vote in the poll?

You deserve a merit there. It was of real help with real solution. It will not only help me but many as well. I have see few threads in Bitcointalk with the issue but none of them provided a solution for me, but yours did. I'm out of merits otherwise would have given you instantly. Glad DdmrDdmr merited you.

Thanks a lot. I just fixed it. I didn't realize how I did it correctly last time. Totally messed up this time. Your help was timely. I'll probably never forget about adding images for a long time.

This is my entry for the Coldkey contest. Part of this image is from my entry in the Bitcointalk Art Contest.

Edit: Updated the 1st entry.
Just realized there is not enough space for Auth Key and BTC address in the 1st entry. Since I have already received merits when I just had the 1st entry, I'm adding variation of the 1st entry as my 2nd entry.

What is the best practice to submit multiple entries? For example, I submit an entry on day 1, then if I want to submit another entry on a different day, is it better to (1) create another post and possibly add a link of the earlier entry in the new post with a new entry or (2) is it better to delete the earlier entry (if it has not received a merit) and add the art together with the new one in a new post or (3) add all entries in the first post created irrespective of when the art was submitted?

There are quite a few nice designs entered so far. Here is my 1st entry, more to follow. I've taken inspiration from multiple sources for this as well as my future entries but have created from scratch.
