Calling All Artists! “Kill The Messenger” Cover Art and Banner Contest (100 SBD in Prizes)

[v4vapid]

Kill The Messenger

We’ve just officially launched “Kill the Messenger” for the #Unity4J / Free Assange campaign.

@jamesgetsit and myself co-wrote this hip-hop track in support of Wikileaks and Julian Assange.

The track is receiving a warm reception across the board, Julian Assange’s Twitter account has retweeted the track, and it has become the official theme song of the #Unity4J 38hr online vigil happening NOW!

Visit the official #unity4j website for the latest stream links

http://unity4j.com/

---

Be sure to check out and support our Steemit Official Release announcement posted by @jamesgetsit.

You can hear the full version of the track on Soundcloud and on the new music blockchain Choon.

https://soundcloud.com/jamesgetsit/kill-the-messenger

https://choon.co/artists/jamesgetsit/

A music video for Kill The Messenger is in the works by another talented collaborator @fortified. So be on the lookout for that in the coming days!

---

Julian Assange has been arbitrarily detained for over 6 years in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, in violation of his human rights. Now, the new Ecuadorian government has cut off all of Assange’s communication with the outside world.

What can we do? How can you get involved?

Love the track...added it to my Steemit Musicians playlist on Choon!

Here's my fast n' dirty doohicky... It's not really a submission. More of a show of solidarity through some tongue in cheek challenge pissing.

Freaking love the song! Way to represent, @v4vapid!

[v4vapid]

Cheers, thank you!

[putri12]

Hai @v4vapid, what is the size of the cover art and banner that must be made by the contestants?

[v4vapid]

Hi @putri12, you can find the correct dimensions for different social media banner sizes and thumbnails with a quick search.
For example, type in "Twitter Banner Size" - and you'll get a number of results.

here's a good one for 2018

https://blog.snappa.com/twitter-header-size/

For a Twitter banner/header the optimal size is 1500 pixels wide by 500 pixels tall.

Hope this helps :)

[putri12]

thank you very much for the information :)

[putri12]

If I want to make cover art and banner, do I have to make two different posts?

[v4vapid]

No, you can put them together in 1 post. Just make sure to let us know which is which, thanks ;)

This is so interesting and revolutionizing that people are using Steemit as a freelancing website. People are getting work here- writing posts, creating editing videos, creating music, banners.. and what is even more fascinating is that we are getting paid in virtual currency.. This is the adoption blockchain supporters at last want.. switch from fiat to crypto..
I feel good to be alive to witness this revolution!! And seriously @steemit bravo for building such a platform!!

[shehbaza28]

Nice follow me

[abh12345]

Huge prize for this one! I hope you get a raft of quality entries :)

[v4vapid]

Thanks Asher!
We already got one entry and looks pretty sick.
Can't wait to see what comes out of this.

[abh12345]

Great stuff. The prize should hopefully encourage plenty of entries and I think you'll enjoy deciding on the best work.
