Hello DIYers - 6th Contest Month of 2023!

As you well know, we are a DIY community here on HIVE with the sole aim of supporting DIY creators all around the globe. Within this community we are hosting a monthly contest to encourage and reward great authors out there, and with each contest comes a theme. Because we are fully non-profit and share 100% curation reward with our delegators we have collected a bunch of cool projects and communities who are open to supporting us with the monthly prize pools. This time we have a collab with @needleworkmonday and a big prize pool but first let's talk about the results of the contest month of May!

We had a very exciting contest month with various entries related to our contest theme SEA LIFE. It was a joy to vote on the entries and see the creativity that flourishes out of such a contest!

## Contest Partner of this Month: NeedleWorkMonday

NeedleWorkMonday is a community of needle artists from all around the world that share our love and passion for the needle arts and any form of fiber art! We are a supportive group that encourages one another and supports each other’s work through upvotes, comments, and positive feedback. We get together every week to share our work, ideas, tips, patterns, and shortcuts and to inspire the Hive community. Our hopes are to encourage crafters to dust off their needles and get crafting again as well as encouraging others to give it a try for the first time.

Thank you @NeedleWorkMonday for your support and donation for the contest! ## How to join the Contest?

All you have to do is create a DIY post centering around the prompt of the month. Get creative and follow the rules below to win some cool prizes! #### 1 Prompt

This month we picked a very important object that is necessary for the our planet to thrive:

S U N

Create anything related to the star that provides the heat, light, and energy necessary for life on our planet Earth.

But still, think out of the box and create your own idea in order to stand out from the masses ;) The more creative you get the higher the chance of winning! Get inspired by Astro documentaries, and childhood memories, or go out and get inspired by it right now!

Here are a few ideas you can get inspired by:

Create a sun embroidering
Customize an item with a painted sun
Build a mobile of our solar system
Create a useful solar power solution
Mix a DIY sunscreen creme
...

Let's create some DIYs to underline the importance and beauty of our beloved sun!

#### 2 Rules 1. Generally, follow [our rules and target niches](https://peakd.com/hive-189641/@diyhub/faq-content-requirements-and-our-target-niches) 2. Make a post with the topic of the month until the 27th of June 2023 3. Post your article inside of the [DIYHUB community](https://peakd.com/c/hive-189641/created) 4. Use the tag #diysuncontest for your post 5. Share the link to your HIVE article in the comments of this post 6. You can participate with multiple entries if you want

#### 3 Tips - To maximize your chances get creative and think outside the box. - Create something unique with the prompt and try to avoid the obvious. - The more details your post contains about the process the better your chances will be - try to add many images, describing text and maybe a video of the process - use the long time until the deadline to optimize your post as much as you can - as you can read in the [rules and target niches](https://peakd.com/hive-189641/@diyhub/faq-content-requirements-and-our-target-niches) we only accept processes/tutorials not just posts about the final result

#### 4 Prizes And now what we are all waited for - the prizes. @needleworkmonday donated a big part of the prize pool for this contest! We also added some HBD, Hive and Hive SBI to the contest prizes! We are super stoked and can not wait to see your cool entries!
