@Chip-Valecek sweet. Thank you!
@Chip-Valecek Yayyy thank you Chip!
Thanks Chip!! Now we just need a Mayor badge for you

Since the contests are so popular a badge for the previous winners would be cool. Little bonus prize for the top spot!
@JerrySketchyArt I thought about that. I was thinking about that. Something you get to keep for the month, and when the new winners are selected it moves to them.
@Chip-Valecek Ooh yeah. Like a "reigning champ" kind of thing would be cool.
@Chip-Valecek Hi. I believe I am an OG. I subscribed to SVS Learn around 2015/2016 (then SVS switched over computer systems) and took courses/participated in the Forum sporadically for years. I have been trying to be more consistent in the last year or two.
Does OG stand for Old Guys and Old Gals, or ?
@Maureen ah yes, I remember you back in the day 
I just added you to the group.
I'm not as active as I'd like to be either, but I've been around since June of 2017 on the forum. I've been a subscriber since they opened SVS for subscription though. Can't imagine what I'd have done without SVS!
@LisaF Yes yes yes @Chip-Valecek needs a special badge especially for the SVS monthly contest slide show! He does Rock!
This is great, thanks Chip!
Can I get an SVS OG badge?
@holleywilliamson Just added it for you, edit your profile and select it in your groups.
I guess I'm a "pro" then! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: I published 2 animal coloring books on Amazon back in 2017. Here's the links for verification.

@Chip-Valecek Or is there something else that we need to do in order to get the "Pro" badge?
I've been around since before 2017 
though only intermittently active depending on what is going on in my life at any given time.
And I don't know if having done work for Cricut counts as "published".... are we just talking about book publishing, or paid illustration work in general?
@Sarah-LuAnn click "edit" under "profile" - check your groups - click svsog and save changes and it will show up - it looks like Chip did not forget you
@avfarrar @Sarah-LuAnn the PRO badge is for people how have been published by a publisher. Self publishing doesn't count.
@Kevin-Longueil Ok, I clicked edit, groups, svsog... I don't see save changes though. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?
ETA: I figured it out! Thanks for your help
@Chip-Valecek so pro is only for book publishing? To make it clearer what I'm asking about, here are a few of the designs I was paid to produce:
https://shop.cricut.com/en_us/3d-floral-home-d-eacutecor-digital-set.html
https://shop.cricut.com/en_us/holiday-snowflakes-digital-set.html
https://shop.cricut.com/en_us/holly-and-ivy-digital-set.html
They're more in the realm of licensing rather than publishing. So I guess my question is, does "pro" refer to book work only, or other applications of art and illustration?
@Chip-Valecek Thanks. Good to know.
