Thank you to everyone who participated in the first art contest for our new **Project Milkbox** initiative, it was great to see so many people putting together some creative entries. Since we have decided to break apart the logo and promotional artwork into multiple challenges to help build a solid collection of ideas going forward, it was decided that this first challenge would focus on the character design and how that could work into a future logo or website.

This was not an easy decision and after much debate with our project team we chose the winners for this first round of designs.

## 🥇 1st Place ##

Danyel continues to amaze us with very consistent and thought-out designs. From fan art to promotional design we see a team player in Danyel for sure. His Milkbox character is both fun and professional in design, the only future edit would have to be a generic "missing persons" image. Good 'ol Waldo would get us in some legal hot water (or milk) . Great work!

Five threw out a nice concept sheet with a few variations on common character logo set. These were very clean and professional designs that would work well for a project brand. The character was subtlety merged into the overall logo design itself. With a few suggested edits the design took on a friendly, but refined look. Nice work.

BlueBerryFox has been showing us great week over week improvement in design and a willingness to step up to the challenge each week. We see this again with a fun and happy Milkbox character that we could see fitting in to future promotional materials for the project.

**@bushkill**
We don't often do this in our weekly challenges, but we have noticed BushKill's drive to improve upon his design skills (and video editing) every week and jump in to our challenges and felt we had to give him recognition and a "most improved" nod for his efforts. Keep up the great work!

### What are Beyondbit and EOSBit?
Beyondbit and EOSBit started as a conversations in the BeyondBitcoin hangout series shortly after Steem was launched historically in those very hangouts. It began as "community tokens" or "tag coins". These cross-chain tokens give their holders the power to Summon a Whalevote to posts without having to pay for attention. And they are only given to people who Participate in Challenges, Win Contests and do other things of value for the community!

BeyondBit and EOSBit tokens are on BitShares! So make sure you have a BitShares/OpenLedger account to receive and send them for upvotes on your Steem posts!

### HOLD on to your EOSBit!
These powerful cross-chain tokens will be very valuable in the future once EOS.IO has launched and associated DApps are brought online. We encourage you to participate in as many challenges as you are capable of and save up your EOSBit!
