Community Celebration: Let's Make a Collage (LMAC) Community
It's been 1 year since I joined Hive and the first two months were really hard for me. As I was not used to a monetised platform like Hive. I had no idea about plagiarism, copyrights and etc. For that reason, I received so many downvotes. I didn't even know that there were copyright and royalty free image sources that I could use inside my blogs. None of the communities that conducted the contests back then mentioned about any copyright free image sources that we could use inside our participation and for that reason, it was hard for me as I was a noobie.
About The Community
LMAC was the first community inside Hive that I saw mentioning each and everything in detail on how to participate and where to get the assets from for the participation. If you have any doubts regarding the participation you can ask them on their Discord Server. The community members are really friendly and also supportive. Actually, that was the reason I continued staying on the Hive platform.
In the LMAC community, there are weekly contests conducted by @shaka and each of the winners are selected at the end of the week there are also prizes for reaching the top 15.
If you are a person who knows how to create a collage or manipulation by using any photo editing software then you can really participate in the LMAC contests. My friend is participating in the contests using his mobile phone with an application named PicsArt. So don't tell me you don't have a computer. You can use any images from the whitelisted websites they mentioned in this post and create manipulations. "Your imagination is the limit" as they always say inside their blogs.
The best part about the LMAC community is that you can see the amazing participation of the members inside the community. The participations are mind blowing. Personally, I really like the collages eve66 and also pinkgirl4 makes. Just take a look at eve66's last participation. Wow right. It's always amazing to see that they are creating collages by thinking outside the reality.
Rewards Inside the Community
Besides the curation that each post-receive, there are also Prizes for getting in the top 15. The winners are selected by the Polling results in Dpoll Community. I also got the chance to get on top 10 and 15 a few times. So if you try you can also be at the top 15.
While participating in the contest you need to provide the LMAC account as 20% beneficiary of your participation post. So that they can make the Prize pool for the winners every week.
LMAC IMAGE LIBRARY (LIL)
https://www.lmac.gallery/lil-gallery
LMAC also has an image library called LIL. Where you can contribute images and also download images. You can also earn an LMAC Contributor Badge by doing so. You can use the images that you find inside LIL Gallery in your blogs. While using the images you need to add the contributor as 2% beneficiary of your blog in the Hive. All the images that you will find inside the LIL Gallery will be the images uploaded by the people inside the Hive and for that reason, you will not receive any copyright issues while using them. When you contribute images to the LIL Gallery you will receive rewards (curation) and also when your image is used by another person in their blogs inside Hive you will receive 2% beneficiary reward of that post.
I really like the LMAC community the members are friendly and nice to everyone. It's my favourite community inside Hive. If you are a person who is looking for weekly contests and also looking for a place to share photos that you took. Then I would really say that LMAC is the place that you need to take a look at.
