A Hive Art Community for all, Lets Make A Collage!

As I curated art content over the past three months by simply voting and reblogging what I voted on, I was looking for a reason to use Hive as I kind of felt lost. Do I curate content only, play Splinterlands or just make passive income with Pools. Well, it was not long before I found myself really appreciating the NFTs, Hive artists and especially communities like Let's Make A Collage(@lmac).
What stood out to me the most was the participation by a lot of people with this community. I started noticing 30-50% of posts I would see each day curating art was from average Hivians and artists participating in Let's Make A Collage. I still see these amazing collages everyday even in Neoxian's front end for Hive, https://www.neoxian.city/ where I focus my curation for art mostly now, and what spurred me to write this very post.
There is not much for me to explain to anyone with this post that is intended to bring awareness to this great communtiy on Hive as @agmoore, @mballesteros, @quantumg and @shaka have done a great job building a community that is pretty clear and intuitive. The name Let's Make A Collage says it all and when you travel to their community page on HiveLet's Make A Collage, they have their rules spelled out very clearly:
Let's Make a Collage
Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive!
Description
LMAC is an art contest on Hive which is open for everyone to join.
For every new round a photography is provided which you can transform by any means into whatever you wish to see. Your imagination and the LMAC rules are the only limits!
Join the fun and let your creativity run wild!
Rules
Complete contest rules and conditions for participation are provided with each post announcing a new round of LMAC.

Not safe for work contributions must be tagged accordingly.
Further rules may be introduced should the need arise.

I have to be honest, I agree that a 20% beneficiary is steep but LMAC is one of the most supported communities on Hive from what I have seen in my travels around the art tag of late. It is a good thing to set beneficiaries to posts anyways when frequently supported by communities or the large stake holders of Hive as they support you with the community rewards pool.
If you are a graphics designer, artist or just someone looking to play around with cool graphic design apps and can follow simple rules; than I suggest having fun in this community making collages on Hive.
Collages that I enjoyed today from the LMAC community
My Collage today: I imagined about the city of Paris.
The crisp blues and whites caught my eye here. Also the woman was wall placed to give a nice focal point that added dimension to everything here!
Immersed in the Imagination / Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 103
I was trying to put less than day old collages in this post but this is probably the Best Collage I have seen yet in the LMAC community! What do you think? @mitag2398 really pulled this off beautifully! This would make a killer NFT. Are they licensed to be able to mint?

What more could one ask for but moving ufos abducting cows, Aliens, Robot Dogs with Laser Beams and all while in a beautiful forest!

Where do you fit into the City of Neoxian?
A lot of people come here and get sucked into the friendliness of our server. Some people want to take on roles in the city, others just want to chat and have a good time. There's nothing wrong with either!
What we haven't seen many of though is those wanting to create new roles and responsibilities for themselves in Neoxian City. Our Dragonmaster Neoxian is always open to new ideas.

Thank you for recognizing the great enthusiasm in LMAC. We are a community for artists, and for everyone. We are Hive cheerleaders so it's great have someone cheer us on.
Thanks! I really enjoy seeing all the activity and creative blogs you and your group inspire to be brought to the Chain!
I am very happy that you like the collage I made for the beautiful community of LMAC, I really appreciate this community because it is a space where we can let our imagination make wonderful creations. I admire very much like you the work done by the members.
Thank you for taking me into account in your publication, with your nice words you encourage me to continue creating.
You are very welcome!
Thank you so much for taking the time to create this post highlighting all the positive things our community has. You're not the only one who felt that 20% is a lot, but that's what has ensured that we have good prizes to offer the winners of the contest, and what ensures each contestant gets upvotes from the community trail on each of their entries. As you can see it's a win win. We support everyone who participates even if they are not great artists. At @lmac everyone is welcome. 😉
Yes, what is going on with lmac community is great and well worth the 20%!
