Congrats to the winners, and thanks again to all participants!

Being primarily a text-based forum, it's not surprising that there hasn't been much original bitcointalk.org art, but I've always thought that this has been a bit of a shame. Therefore, for bitcointalk.org's 10^th anniversary, let's have an art contest!

Prizes:
 - I will distribute at total of at least 1 BTC to the art submissions which I personally like the best, completely subjectively. I might give out more if there are a lot of good submissions.
 - I will give out a ton of merit, probably at least 500 in total, based mainly on effort.
 - Between 1 and 20 (depending on number of submissions) people will receive art contest recognition badges: , based mainly on community consensus of who had the best art. In judging consensus, I will be substantially but not entirely influenced by the total amount of merit your art received.

Post original bitcointalk.org art in this thread along with a Bitcoin address. Any art you post must be created by you. It should be related to bitcointalk.org, but need not be related specifically to its 10^th anniversary.

The contest ends Nov 22 18:04:28 UTC; submissions after that are not guaranteed consideration. BTC will be sent all at once, probably a few hours after the end time.

Keep this thread clean: only post art and discuss the art posted, staying very on-topic. No "reserved" posts, please -- it only clutters the thread. See this thread for more commentary, questions/answers, and comments.

I know it's not really "art" but I was so impressed by DdmrDdmr's word cloud that I couldn't resist... this is based on the number of posts:



Edit: replaced with a proper font and PNG format.

Edit 2: bc1qjlcl6fspqysl6wcfrx22zf5pml86ehyuwyanl3 because theymos said it's art.

Bitcointalk's birthday: it has been running for 11 days, I really don't have the time and opportunity to make a work of art from my own hands.

Maybe, my busyness factor is too dense in government.

Today I have a lot of time, to think of something good, to do.
I went to a friend's company that engaged in the art of flower painting, so I decided to sit down and make my own artwork for Bitcointalk's 10-year birthday, taking 1 day. Not bad.







This is very natural without the touch of the internet or Google.
I hope this work of art, can be a power of own interest for the Bitcointalk Forum.

Probably not an art but I just created a design of the top 100 merited users here.
I believe that they helped here in the forum in different ways so I made it like a brain (even though it doesn't look like a brain TBH)
GL to us all participants. I will put another one in the future as my entry and hoping........





Also Created a small logo just for fun

Edit: Now I considered it also as an art as I read what @suchmoon posted. Thanks

theymos said it's art.

Update on Oct.30th:

Hey it's been 10 years, probably safe to say the site will be around for a while longer, may be time for an official logo contest?  







Happy 10th Anniversary!

Hi, I am not very able to draw, but in gratitude to the forum and in honor of its anniversary, I decided to write a short essay. Please take this as an art performance.

Based on the iconic Rodchenko artwork (Russian Constructivism).
for those unaware, the original poster says "books" - is an incentive to education.

Hi, I am not very able to draw, but in gratitude to the forum and in honor of its anniversary, I decided to write a short essay...

Writing is indeed an art, and one which I rate very high. But theymos specifically pointed out that this contest is to give more attention to contents that are not text-based.

Being primarily a text-based forum, it's not surprising that there hasn't been much original bitcointalk.org art

I did enjoy your essay and the use of words, and hope it does get attention. I may personally consider writing just for the fun of it, or create an art design.

[TheBeardedBaby]

Sorry, but for the past two years I've been here I've seen only this :



I do not have time to participate in this contest, just want to make you people smile, that's why I created my [ART]Bitcointalk memes a year ago. 

[hilariousetc]

Any criteria for the art or rules?

What is "art"?

That was literally one of the questions I got in my general studies exam in college. You had to write an entire essay just on that.

I wish I was a little more skilled in the visual arts. This news needs to be heard by everyone 1 BTC award is a very high!. There are also hundreds of merit. Admin is really being very generous.

I think this and similar contests should continue, not just that, with such high prize pools, much higher quality things can be produced. Like articles, icons, stickers etc. Maybe  bitcointalk should open a telegram channel as well

Yeah, I'm terrible at any sort of drawing digitally or in reality. We should be able to submit writings as well. I want to write a sexually explicit fanfic including several bitcointalk members. Or perhaps a half-naked video of an interpretative dance inspired by bitcointalk.

Aw, man. I was actually secretly planning a special art piece for the 10th anniversary, and now you've ruined the surprise. Anyway, since I assume the art has to be at least somewhat safe-for-work, I was going to ask: What is the official forum policy on nipple pasties? And does it vary depending on whether the nipples in question are female-presenting?

lol. As Malevolent said, just link to it with a NSFW tag.

What is artwork to be exact? Logo? Banner? Or anything graphical or pictorial related to forum?

Any and all probably. Just create what you want.

Here is my submission:

Thanks.

Here is my submission:

Not bad for an alt account of Global Mod. Look like serious contender for 1 BTC + 500 merits.

[Foxpup]

I like Last of the V8s' idea better. I think I know a way to pull it off without too much controversy. Stay tuned!

Here is my submission:

That'll be tough to beat. Truly, I have my work cut out for me!

[gentlemand]

Since Bitcoin is all about permissionlessness I expect even the most talentless to show us what they've got. That's the spirit I'm looking to see.

To show everyone that they too have a genius locked inside them if only they know where to look here is my contribution.

[lesor]

Happy 10th Anniversary Bitcointalkers 😂😂😂
