How do we know when the community voting is live for the painting contests? Is there a link somewhere that I'm just missing?

Hello, the community can vote when the News & Previews post announcing the contest vote goes live, which has link for such purpose. For the August painting contest, it was in the following post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/august-news-4-137490199

It's the current prize / promo mini - it will be added to the store when the new ones come out. It's a mini given out at conventions / sent to community organizers to help promote the game.
