Welcome to Round 43 of Let's Make a Collage!

The LMAC looks back on another week of growth!

During the last round we welcomed 18 new subscribers to our ranks of now 273 LMACians! And participation in our contest has seen a new record with 67 collages submitted to a single round.

My impression is also that overall engagment is steadily increasing. It's difficult to capture this in distinct numbers but I see more and more LMACians commenting on their fellow's contributions. Please keep doing so. Sharing encouraging comments can hardly be overestimated in their positive effect. For my part, I try to reward engagement as best I can with my votes.

Thank you all for your support, for the LMAC and thus for the Hive! The LMAC's success depends on every single one of you!

Before we get the next round started, the usual (important) reminders:

• Only then you are eligible to receive the community bonus if you make it to TOP 10. A growing LMAC community will thank you for it! (100% of the proceeds will be added to each round's prize pool)Please make sure to set the LMAC community (-> account @hive-174695) as 20% beneficiary in your entry posts.
• A curation trail has been registered on hive.vote-> here. 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).

• Entries which fail to unambiguously document that all collage elements used are free of any copyright protection can not be shortlisted! It's up to the contributor to proactively provide all sources in their entry posts.
• All entries need to be posted to the LMAC community to be considered for the challenge. To help increase the visibility of our community please avoid cross-posting.
