It’s that time of the year again!

Last year, I started “The Best of 2014” with a compilation of 60 best artworks that were made in the said year. Also, I awarded the very first Sketch of the year, artist of the year and the first best new artist. I would like to thank you all for making it successful through your positive feedback. ❤️

2015 is almost over. There were tons of artworks that were released this year. And as we approach the end, let us celebrate the greatest achievements of artistry here on SketchPort, that's why I am very proud to announce to you all “SketchPort 100: The Best of 2015”! We are on our second year now! Yaaasss. 🎉 The “SketchPort 100: The Best of 2015” is a year-end countdown composed of 100 artworks that are truly exceptional in terms of execution from the artist and overall performance (number of likes, comments, beauty, etc.), also the artworks included in the list inspired other artists of SketchPort. The rankings will be from, of course, lowest (100th) to highest (#1). Also, I will be awarding the Sketch that really stood out among the rest this year and people who made 2015 an exciting year for SketchPort.

There are lots of changes on “The Best of 2015”! Last year, I was the only one who picked the best artworks, and the major awardees. Now, it is up to YOU! You can now vote for your favorite artworks (even your own!) and the Best new artist! BUT, the Artist of the Year depends on which artist will have the most number of entries in the countdown.

Technically, there are no losers in this countdown. Your artwork being included on the top 100 list is already considered a win. And, I’m sure most of you all will have at least one entry. So, as early as now, CONGRATULATIONS! If your artwork(s) won’t make it to the top 100 list, it’s okay. It won’t make you less of an artist. Be proud of your work and there will still be next year!
