This dark, glamorous promotional contest banner advertises the "Soot After Sunset" S.T.R.I.P. Challenge #9, featuring a moody, warm-lit portrait of a soot-streaked steampunk female chimneysweep in worn workwear, leather cap, and tool belt. The design uses antique gold text and deep shadowy dark backgrounds to highlight contest rules, including a requirement for 3-6 image entries, 1000 credit prizes for the first 10 valid entries, and a call to action to find full details on the site blog. The aesthetic leans into gritty vintage industrial, with dramatic rim lighting emphasizing the portrait subject.
