In February 2016, Adobe Create Magazine hosted the first Take 10 challenge that was open to the community.
Adobe Create gave 10 images from Adobe Stock and asked to use those images (and only them) to create an artwork
inspired by the theme “impulsive.”

Judge Erik Johansson  selected his 10 favorites from the entries that met the criteria - Mariann has been one of the 10 winners.

"Mariann ... like a contestant in a Project Runway unconventional materials challenge, she broke down the stock images and built them up again into clothing-like adornments. “The trees were a perfect collar,” she notes. Because some of the elements worked well in warm tones and others in cool tones, she divided her composition in two. The two heads were initially side by side, but then, “I realized they would look perfect as a playing card, so I rearranged the elements to look like the queen in a deck of cards. I had to sacrifice the rest of the collars on the necks, though — what a miss!” "  article by Adobe Create Magazine
