It turns out there actually was a mix-up evaluating the rankings for the about screen contest. Please accept our apology. We have fixed the issue. All 7 of the contest artists whose artworks should have been highlighted are now available to vote for at the link below.

Note: If you were one of the 19 Inkscape contributors who had already voted please recast your votes at the link below with the updated list that includes two artists we had not included.

Cast your vote here: https://inkscape.org/gallery/=artwork/inkscape-14-about-screen-contributor-v...

These are the 7 artworks and artists the community voting elevated for the final round (in alphabetical order):

- "Creative Growth“ by Chris Hildenbrand - "Expand Your Creative Universe" by Chris Hildenbrand - “Unstoppable Creativity” by Denis Kuznetsky - "Inkscape's Path-Artist's Blossom" by Inkonic - "Draw your world" by Kess - "Vibe On Creators" by NDIM DONALD - “Flourishing Inkscape” by Sreya Saiu

Hi all,

we're so sorry, there has been a mixup last night when evaluating the ranking.

I'm going to deactivate the vote for now, please allow for some time to get this fixed and prepared.

This means that if you have already cast your vote before this email arrived, you need to vote again (this affects 12 persons).

Thanks for your understanding, things seemed to have been hectic last night.
