Besides that, We decided to highlight several more amazing artworks, that unfortunately didn’t make it to top20, but are very stunning & deserve some attention:

- @notapes - art
- @exlot - art
- @yotsubagoharu - art
- @Liteelon - art

Please also reach out to us!

P.S.(i) we had technical difficulties while voting, and it took us a little while to sort it out, for which we want to apologize to all the participants. (ii) If your artwork wasn’t shown on the show it doesn’t necessarily mean that it was not included in the competition. (iii) we’ve strived to achieve transparency each step of the way, and want to remind everyone that the final score is based on 4 judges scoring the art, not only ONE.

There were a few more flaws that we identified while running this initiative, and will be focusing on adjusting the process, to make it even more transparent & smooth for all the participants next time.

Prizes will be distributed to the winners within the next 5 days, please make sure to reach out to us directly via X profile where your art was submitted, with your Telegram @ in the message.

As for those who submit the art via Telegram – we already have your Usernames, Thank you everyone for participating!

Hey everyone 💗

Recently Telegram released a feature that let's users send direct offers for your Telegram Gifts. Some bad players have found a way to trick users into accepting offers that are much lower than what is stated in the offer message.

We are currently running a competition which includes sending Telegram Gifts. We know that the offers here are different to the way that our competition is being run but just incase, always triple check any offers that you receive before accepting.

Thank you @TonNomads for this description.

Stay safe out there! 🎁

🚨 New Scam Alert: Fake Offer Names on Telegram Gifts.

There’s a new type of scam going around that targets Telegram gift holders, and it’s sneakier than you think.


Here’s how it works:

The scammer changes their display name to a long string of text that mimics the offer notification message. So when you glance at the offer, it looks like you’re getting a massive payout.

Look at this image closely. At first glance, it seems like someone is offering 22,339 TON (around $30,001 USD) for a Plush Pepe #567 gift. Sounds like a great deal, right?

Wrong. That’s not the actual offer. That’s just the scammer’s display name.

The scammer renamed himself to: “Mike_NFTnft offered you 22,339 TON (~30,001.27 USD) and as a fee”

That fake name blends right into the real offer text below it, making the whole thing read like one seamless message. But if you look carefully, the only real offer is 125 Stars, which is worth less than $2 💀

So the scammer is banking on you seeing “$30K” and rushing to hit Accept without reading the details properly.


How to protect yourself:

Always read the full offer message carefully before accepting anything. The actual offer amount is shown after “offered you” in the real system text, not in the sender’s name. Check the name separately from the offer details. If something looks too good to be true, it probably is. Slow down and look again. And when in doubt, just reject it, or ask questions in our community if you’re not sure what to do.

Stay sharp out there. These scammers are getting creative.
