As blockchain technology continues to evolve at break-neck speeds and push the limits of decentralized data storage, transaction speed and self-governance, we don't have to look too far to see the true industry leaders in STEEM, Bitshares, and the soon-to-be-released EOSIO, even though they are often overlooked or dismissed in the mainstream discussion.
Sample EOSIO Fan Art by @SteemPowerPics
With the recent CryptoKitties debacle exposing the short-comings of the Etheruem network and PoW systems in general, we have to take a moment to realize just how spoiled we are with the ease-of-use that comes with DPoS chains like STEEM and Bitshares. Transactions are nearly instant, and verything happens in the background for the best possible user experience, like when you click "upvote", or create a new post or comment. Not to mention the fact that you pay ZERO FEES on the front-end for those transactions on the STEEM blockchain. Have you tired to buy or sell a Crypto Kitty yet? Who has time to calculate ETH and GAS fees just to sell a virtual cat - and why should you have to pay a fee to do that anyway?!
π It Gets Even Better
The Dawn of a new age in blockchain technology is just over the horizon, and we're here to witness it's rise. It's very important that we all understand how monumental this next leap forward really is. You don't have to be a coder to help bring EOSIO to the world, by simply sharing information and showing your support in your social media circles you can be play a roll in gradually building awareness.
So, Let the Games Begin!
Each week we will host several opportunities for you to earn BeyondBit and EOSBit tokens through participation in various contests and community building challenges. We will kick things off with a creative arts challenge.
Your mission should you choose to accept it:
Create a FUN and INSPIRATIONAL Fan Art graphic to shine a spotlight on EOSIO. Be creative and let your artistic side run free!

2) Entries MUST include the word "EOSIO" somewhere in the design.
3) Entries MUST be at least 500 x 500 pixels in size.
4) Entrants MUST Upvote AND ReSteem This Post
(afterall, this is a community-building challenge)
5) Create a post with your entries (up to 3), then reply below with a link to your your post, you can put your images too, and BTS/OL account name in the comments.
π Challenge Rewards
Winners will be chosen by @OfficialFuzzy and @SteemPowerPics in one week when this post ends. You will need a Bitshares/OpenLedger account to receive any rewards.
1st Place: 50 BeyondBits + 5 EOSBits + 1 Open.EOS

What are Beyondbits and EOSBits?
Beyondbits and EOSBits started as a conversations in the BeyondBitcoin hangout series shortly after Steem was launched historically in those very hangouts. It began as "community tokens" or "tag coins". These cross-chain tokens give their holders the power to Summon a Whalevote to posts without having to pay for attention. And they are only given to people who Win Contests and do other things of value to the community!
BeyondBit and EOSBits tokens are on BitShares! So make sure you have a BitShares/OpenLedger account to receive and send them for upvotes on your Steem posts!

Hey. Made a funny little thing. Merged EOS logo with half-life 1 screenshots. I think EOS will bring the same level of innovation as hl1 did to the digital environment.

π AWESOME!
I look forward to helping with this EOS.IO Fan Art Challenge, after having so much fun with the ETH Kitties MEME contest.
Good Luck Everyone!
I think it is awesome that you are integrating other crypto platforms through the steemit network. It increases awareness and broadens the knowledge of everyone (including me). I realize you have a big following already, but you are now one more! Keep up the good work :)
I appreciate that. Many more contests and challenges are in the works to further that awareness in cross-chain synergy. Feel free to try your hand at a cool fan art image for this challenge and pick up a few tokens yourself.
lol... I'm a watcher of the art and a supporter of your concept; unfortunately I wasn't gifted with any artistic skill at all ... :O
I do admire those than "can", they make me realize how incredible we are as human beings.
I agree we are at the birth of a new world and I'm fascinated with the genius and creativity that I see everyday.
Happy New Year and I will follow your progress of integration for sure :)
@officialfuzzy, Wow...Great contest arrange by you name called "EOS.IO fan art challenge". I believe it will be seriously success and more peoples join this contest. Hopefully waiting fun indeed creative ones.
Merry Xmas to you!!!!!
This is awesome, I'd like to enter the contest but honetly am pretty limited in my experience designing graphics, does anyone know of any free or cheap tools for editing? So far I'm loving steem and bitshares and EOS is looking great
Any basic photo editing or paint app for desktop or mobile is all you need to get started.
Wow that is awesome :)
thanks! (this is not part of the contest. just wanted to add something to it)
FAN-tastic! Your editing skills are quite impressive my friend.
Will there be a EOS.IO Fan Art Challenge #2???
We have 2 art challenges scheduled for next week ;-)
Nice buddy it's a lot of fun :)
Happy News Year
I have 2 more to drop, is it safe to drop them here as comments as well as make a post out of them??
You can just add them as a reply to your first entry comment :-)
Thanks a LOT!
Good contest...
To make a second entry do I have to make a post or can I just put it as a attachment on my comment from before?
Adding them inline like you did is just fine. :-)
Okay cool thanks for letting me know :)

ok sry guys. I was just trying to get the community involved. I'll remove the votes from my post and depriortize it.
Much appreciated, no hard feelings :-)
Why give away good steem when you can power it up and make a vote token you can pass out to people. It helps build stronger cross-chain compatibility and increases participation. I have proven this with the very tokens we distribute for these contests.
rly good point. I guess since I wasn't sure how many contests I wanted to run so wasn't sure if the effort of creating a new vote token was a good idea. I assume you mean a BitAsset? Would be cool to have user-generated tokens available on Steem.
yep. If you want, I will gladly consult on doing it. :)
i will definitely keep you in mind. Check out my comment on your latest post. I'm trying to wrap my head around what to build on top of Bitshares.
Fuzzy creating BitAssets is very expensive now because of the high BTS price no?
I would join, but I dont want to resteem it. Keeping my blog only mine. Sry.
