Welcome to a Jubilee Special of Let's Make a Collage!

It all started on December 6th 2018 with this post. Published on a chain that has long been forgotten and yet, the beginning of an incredible success story: Let's Make A Collage!

3 years forward, this little art experiment grew into a creativity hub for almost 1500 Hivers! Our weekly community contest is regularly joined by 100+ participants, each of them making a case for the Hive being a fantastic place for creatives around the world to develop their skills and showcase their digital art!

The LMAC is open for everyone to join, no matter what skills you have. Creativity is in each of us. And if you just need a few tips and tools to bring your ideas on screen - we got you covered! 👉 12 beginner friendly and in-depth courses await you in our unique LMAC School which will help you to unleash your creative potential!

Just recently we have taken our offering to the Hive on a whole new level by introducing the LMAC image library (LIL)! Powered by LMACians, we have built Hive's largest public domain image directory in less than 4 months. More than 4700 photos and graphics are now available at your fingertips to cover your creative needs. And the LIL grows by dozens of images every day! If you haven't done so, check out our community page and web gallery at

...and become a LIL-contributor yourself!

To celebrate Round 100 of Let's Make A Collage we'd like to challenge you all with something special this time!

Something that is as simple as it is difficult;) :

🌟The LMAC as a collage!🌟

⭐️ In your contributions, you are free to fill an empty canvas with whatever you have in mind. You can use all resources which comply with the LMAC rules (see below).

⭐️ You can use elements from your previous collages or from those of your fellow LMACians. You can also recycle previous LMAC templates and of course, use images from the LIL! Whatever you need to craft your version of The LMAC as a collage. As usual, use of image services is restricted to those which we have whitelisted.

⭐️ Also, there will be a special jury prize to award collages which use LMAC assets^* only

^*previous LMAC templates and LIL images.

⭐️ Finally, we ask all participants to accompany their collages with a short paragraph (1-2 sentences) expressing their personal take on the LMAC (you are very welcome to express yourself in your native language):

What does the LMAC mean to you.
How did the LMAC impact your Hive experience.
What do you value most about the LMAC

🤝 By participating, you agree that we may use your statement as a credential in potential LMAC marketing materials, citing your Hive account name. Thank you!

We can't wait to receive your contributions, so let's kick this LMAC Special off!

📌 Entries need to be posted to the LMAC community.
📌 Submissions need to be linked as a comment to this post.
📌 Any graphical element that is added to the template either needs to

📌 Include the #creativecoin tag to benefit from additional curation through a 70k CCC delegation to the @lmac account by the Creative Coin Fund.
❗️We highly encourage all participants to use LIL assets in their collages and will provide additional rewards for doing so:
- For each LIL-asset used, the corresponding LIL-contributors are expected to be added as 2% beneficiary each in the respective LMAC entry!
- In turn, collages using LIL-assets will be supported with a higher vote weight by our trail!

All sort of editing, modification and/or manipulation is allowed as long as no copyright is affected.

Every participant in the LMAC contest further agrees to hand over their artwork into the public domain and that it can be copied, modified and distributed by others, even for commercial purposes, without requiring further permission.

Good to know:

❗️If you contribute 5 times to the community bonus during a three month period, you become eligible to receive the LMAC Contributor Badge for prize pool supporters. If you believe to have met this requirement, please comment to this post and provide the links for the respective 5 entries of yours.
A curation trail has been registered on hive.vote to further support all valid submissions to the LMAC. By following this trail you will support all LMAC contributors but also receive a decent boost on your curation rewards by frontrunning a vote by me (@shaka).
