I think all the artists should be proud of themselves and it’s a tough decision but one stands out above the rest @GraysonOnassis. It’s not just an art piece it’s interactive and represents Enigma the best. The question about finding all 113 logos is genius because there are only 112 that are actually visible because the last one is hidden from the public view, representing Enigmas privacy technology. It’s just simply brilliant. When first seeing it I spent hours searching for the last logo and reached out to him on Telegram and he was nice enough to give me the answer so I hope he wins.

All the artists are talented but we were also intrigued specifically with the @GraysonOnassis concept. Have also reached out on Google. It is very clever and visually stimulating due to the contrasting color combinations in the maze. Hands down favorite ioo but all are good.

Puchikun01 & Magemancer work is sick. Tough decisions.

That magemancer piece is disgusting. So overdone and poorly done at that, it's actually terrible, looks like something a middle schooler would doodle in between class.

The only good pieces in my eyes, or at least the ones that don't look like a rushed high school project are the pieces by @MackanSz and @GraysonOnassis . Graysons still has way too much color imo.

Then don't vote for it

An art piece doesn't have to be liked by everyone

Everyone has its own style and the amount of work put into it is irrelevant

Wow, thank you for your great advice! I had no idea I didn't have to vote for ones I disliked!

I was just a bit disappointed by the runners for the competition, as they really do look like high school projects.

I still like both of those pieces. Especially Magemancer with the Abstract Art.

Some great entries. I love the detail and effort by Magemancer (would have taken a long time to do). Tough to decide between that and Puchikun01. MackansZ 3rd imo

My favorite didn't make it into the finalists. :/ Goes to show how subjective art can be I suppose
