Hello there Steemians!

I want to try something new, something I've been thinking about for a while. I'm bringing my Zen Colouring series back in the form of a colouring contest!

Each week I will provide a stencil to be coloured in with no restrictions on the medium used, with a chance to win 2 SBD for 1st place.

To add a little twist and interaction within the community, there will be a featured colour each week, picked by the winner of the previous week. This colour must be used in some way in your interpretation (use as little or as much of the featured colour as you like). There isn't a featured colour this week due to it being the first week.

The contest will run week to week, to provide enough time for entrants to colour in the pattern. It's Zen for a reason!

This week's contest will run as follows:

Tuesday 13th, 18:00 CET - 'Week Starts' post
Tuesday 20th, 09:00 CET - 'Week Ending' post
Tuesday 20th, 15:00 CET - 'Winners Showcase' post
Tuesday 20th, 18:00 CET - 'New Week Starts' post
(CET - Central European Time)

No entries are accepted after the 'Week Ending Post'

Let me know what you think.
I couldn't find a contest like this, so I decided to create my own. I'm excited to hear all of your feedback and hopeful to see your beautiful entries by next Tuesday! Hope you have fun with it!
