We received some of the most diverse entries with awesomely wild interpretations and can all be seen in the comments of the original announcement. Today, we’re excited to share the top entries, including ones we’ll be using to promote the event. ## The Top 3 --- ***Congrats to @aaronhong for 1st place!*** We're ecstatic about the creative use of the Fibonacci sequence and the integration of the all our elements and information. Big thanks to Aaron for what will be an invaluable component to the exhibition. https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://78.media.tumblr.com/5ee9e0b8735ec772569cda5f163c5b83/tumblr_pamtwg28O81x8oo1ao1_1280.jpg https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://78.media.tumblr.com/5f4789de9923506b9bee52385e77b37a/tumblr_pamtk8nIhM1x8oo1ao2_1280.jpg We also love that NYC billboard photoshop work visible in the thumbnail, above! *You can see the original submission [here](https://steemit.com/cryptorenaissance/@aaronhong/the-crypto-renaissance-design).* ## Second Place @happyksu ***2nd goes to @happyksu!*** Lots of energy in this one and really showcases the creative energies of the Steem community. https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://img.esteem.ws/27d33o6jhv.png https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://img.esteem.ws/1w7wy72fsh.png *You can see the original submission [here](https://steemit.com/cryptorenaissance/@happyksu/my-entry-poster-for-the-crypto-renaissance-design-competition-13ec7885dd4b5).* ## Third Place @albert0davila ***3rd goes to @albert0davila.*** Alberto really captures the latest Creation of a new realm of artistic practice in this world.
