We have to sell our art. The rewards we get from Steem are a great chance for artists to get some money from their work, but it can't be enough. </p> <p>Steem is a great network, still growing up; we art creators have to use that network and all the part of the <em>Steemverse</em> that is slowly being formed. The Steem company is not going to invest for that. It is clear enough, so far.</p> <p>Artists are mostly selfish. I know that. I make art since 1980, and I'm in the Art world since 1990. <strong>We have to fight our selfishness and create a collective source of alertness and focus. </strong></p> <center><h3>How? Think about it, let's think about it as in a brainstorming.</h3></center> <p><strong>My first proposal is to create an </strong><em><strong>unofficial guild</strong></em>. No upvoting trail, just sharing the posts of other artists you like. Do you want a name for it? Let's take something like "Art team".</p> <p><strong>My second proposal is to create a database of opportunities</strong> for exhibitions, sales, contests all around the worlds. We can put it on Steemarket.com and share it. Or somewhere else.</p> <p>What do you think? What do you propose?</p> <p>____</p> <h2><em>Ok, now the contest.</em></h2> <p>In the past editions, SAC (Steemarket Art Contest) received really amazing submissions from the great community of artists on Steem: here are the artwork of <a href="https://steemit.com/art/@paolobeneforti/sec-steemarket-art-contest-results">#1</a> and <a href="https://steemit.com/art/@paolobeneforti/2nd-streemarket-art-contest-results-winners-announcement">#2</a>. </p> <p><strong>So, here it how it works:</strong></p> <p>- All artists on Steemit can submit their artworks from today to Sept 27, Wednesday, h 11pm GMT.</p> <p>- Each artist can submit 1 artwork for each of the 3 categories of the Contest</p> <p>- The categories are</p> <ol> <li>Painting and Drawing (not digital)</li> <li>Digital Art</li> </ol> <p><strong>To submit an artwork, each artist has to:</strong></p> <p>- make a post containing "SAC" (Steemarket Art Contest) in the title and<a href="https://steemit.com/trending/sac">#sac</a> in the tag</p> <p>- publish in the post a photograph of his submitted artwork/s (at least 1000px for the longest side)</p> <p>- indicate category, title, size, date and technique of the submitted artworks.</p> <p>- <strong>paste the link to his posts in the comments of this post.</strong></p> <p><strong>Winners and Prizes: </strong>The winner of each category will be chosen by my wife @silviabeneforti and me. Winners will receive 10 Steems (or more, it depends on possible sponsors ;) ) and will be published in a promoted post.</p> <p><strong>Votes and comments to submitted artworks will be considered in choosing the winners</strong></p> <p>The results will be posted on September 30, Saturday<br> </p> <center><p><strong>* Please, share this post to other artists! *</strong> </p></center> </html>
