🚂 The LMAC curation trail now votes with a stake of ~380'000 HP
🏆Record participation in Round 43 with 70 collage submissions

Welcome to Round 44 of Let's Make a Collage!

The LMAC keeps growing and welcomed 12 new subscribers to our ranks of now 285 LMACians! Participation in our contest has seen a new record high with 70 collages submitted to a single round.

Thank you all for your support, for the LMAC and thus for the Hive! Whether you are a collage contributor, LMAC trail member or stakeholder who supports us with your upvotes, the LMAC's success is owed to every single one of you!

Before we get the next round started, the usual reminders:

• Please make sure to set the LMAC community (-> account @hive-174695) as 20% beneficiary in your entry posts. Only then you are eligible to receive the community bonus if you make it to the TOP 10! A growing LMAC community will thank you for it! (100% of the proceeds will be added to each round's prize pool)
• A curation trail has been registered on hive.vote to further support all valid submissions to the LMAC. By following this trail you will support all LMAC contributors but also receive a decent boost on your curation rewards by frontrunning a vote by me (@shaka). Find all details about the LMAC curation trail -> here.
• Entries which fail to unambiguously document that all collage elements used are free of any copyright protection can not be shortlisted! It's up to the contributor to proactively provide all sources in their entry posts.
• All entries need to be posted to the LMAC community to be considered for the challenge. To help increase the visibility of our community please avoid cross-posting.

And now, let's go to the beach and kick-off Round #44 of Let's Make a Collage!

🌟This week's template photo is brought to you by LMAC veteran @muelli! Muelli's shot of a beach in Thailand was selected in the @lmac's recent Call for Templates and will be awarded with 10% of this post's rewards.
