Today we’re hosting our 7th monthly thumbnail competition for State of the Sndbox! Each Wednesday Sndbox does a newsletter - State of the Sndbox - to update the Steemit community on our progress and ongoing work. This monthly competition gives Steemians an opportunity to showcase their creativity as the face of the newsletter.

Our exciting first round, second round, third round, fourth round, fifth round, and sixth round had amazing submissions and we want to keep this competition going as a monthly tradition for Sndbox.

• Previous winner of February’s Newsletter @ngfx

Every Steemian is invited to submit a thumbnail / landing image using a few parameters (outlined below). The top submissions will receive big Sndbox upvotes and the winner’s image will be featured for each week of February’s State of the Sndbox posts!

To be eligible for prizes, you must follow these simple instructions-
