Hello and I'll wish Merry Christmas to our fellow Naija board members as well.  
Nice incentive from Mia Chloe!

I'm happy to see how our local Nigerian forum section is very active, very constructive and growing quickly due to many new members who've signed up recently. After some of you have already translated many topics from our international section, I want to add a reward here for our Naija board members.

I'll double all Merit dedicated for this Art Contest:

Prizes
1st- 10 merits
2nd- 7 merits
3rd- 5 merits

Until then, I'm awaiting the judge's decision who'll win.  

I don't know if it is necessary to alert @ legendary 1miau that the contest has ended in other for him to redeem his promise of rewarding the winners ×2 of the merits dedicated to winners of this contest? However, congratulations to winners of this great art contest though I'm a participant but unfortunately I didn't win any of the price but I hope to win next time.

[Makus]

Congratulations to those who won the art contest, you deserved it, indeed your hardwork has paid off. I want to still use this opportunity to thank Mia Chloe for this contest, at least we need competitions like this once in a while here in our local board, thank you very much sir. I want to still those who participated but didn't have the opportunity to win the contest due to limited slots of winning. You guys tried, I must confess that most of your works looks great.

[Mia Chloe]

You already have alerted him @Richbased by mentioning him via this statement;

I don't know if it is necessary to alert @ legendary 1miau that the contest has ended in other for him to redeem his promise of rewarding the winners ×2 of the merits dedicated to winners of this contest?

Besides I believe he is already watching the thread. And he will definitely dish out the rewards he promised.

[1miau]

I just want to disclose that I went that I went through this thread and sent smerits to each member who participated, and mostly based on 1miau's recommendation - however, I have trouble with my own abilities to figure out if the submissions were following the rules - especially in regards to not being AI generated, and so I am less excited about having had participated in sending smerits in this contest as compared with other past contests.. for example, the pumpkin carving contest, or the pizza contest, and even theymos had a couple of contests around the forum's birthday or some kind of theme.. but maybe those were digital pieces too.. as contrasted to some kind of real world art that might just be represented with a picture of something real in the world..

I don't want to ruin the fun, but just suggesting that I had some hesitancies to send smerits based on the reasons stated above... and I am not even sure about my suggestion, except to somehow make it tied to something in the real world rather than digital.. unless someone has some tips for me in terms of trying to judge authenticity and the lack of the use of AI generation as had been stated in the rules.

Thanks for giving us your sincere opinion about this contest. This is the very first of its kind on our local board and consequently there would be nice improvements.
One of our judges actually did a scan of all the art entries and came back with a result of zero AI generated arts.
This year's Christmas and New year art will be more interesting definitely.

Definitely, AI cheating shouldn't be rewarded.
I'm not an AI checking expert and I didn't check each picture by a checking tool but most AI pictures are still somehow easy to spot. Of course, I agree: AI is improving very quickly.
That's why I only gave 1 Merit away because even if a participant tried AI cheating, 1 Merit wouldn't be a huge reward for AI cheating.
And of course, AI cheaters will get busted sooner or later.

Nice to know, such effort is highly appreciated to have check all submissions if abuse via KI has happened.  
And nice to see your local board is very honest.
