Last Wednesday, we opened up our [6th round](https://steemit.com/competition/@sndbox/the-state-of-the-sndbox-monthly-thumbnail-competition-5-usd300-upvote-prize-pool) of the State of the Sndbox Thumbnail competition. All Steemians were invited to compete for voting prizes and the winner would have their entry used as the cover of our February newsletters. We hit a record breaking just-under-100 submissions this month! So let’s drive right into the winners -

Congratulations to @ngfx for the grand prize and February’s selection! Amongst all the animations, renderings, and collages, @ngfx’s super unique interpretation of The State of the Sndbox mission really caught our attention. It balances the seemingly complex with all the few necessary bits of information. We’re excited to use this throughout this month!

Congratulations to @mintvilla! We’re also in high hopes of the Olympic performances this month and it’s a great and unique strategy to link the thumbnail design to a major event in real life. We love the corollary to champion Jamie Anderson and the energy of the US going into the launch of these Winter Games!
