We received an outpouring of creative responses to our first [Monthly Thumbnail Competition](https://steemit.com/competition/@sndbox/the-first-state-of-the-sndbox-monthly-thumbnail-competition-200-sbd-in-prizes) and our team is absolutely thrilled with the results. So excited in fact, that everyone who submitted will receive a 1 SBD prize in addition to our upvote. @sndbox will be hosting many more monthly competitions like this one, so stay tuned!
