The submission is correct, but the art style does not match that of Nouns. If you want to increase your odds in the contest, you should get rid of black outlines and try to match the style of existing traits.

The lower right block on the gallery exists for that reason. It showcases your trait alongside existing traits from Nouns. If you click that Noun icon on the bottom right you can even toggle to show only the trait you submitted.

If you do that, you can compare it to other traits of the collection and you'll see how it clashes with the rest of the collection. No other trait has black outlines, and they usually avoid too much black altogether.

Another PSA for contenders:

If you want to increase your odds of getting likes from the round curators, you should try to match the artwork style of existing traits.

The gallery is designed to help you with that, so check these tips and aim for traits that fit together with the rest of the collection.

Show the jury you understand the Nouns aesthetic 
That's the best way to get a good standing in the contest 🎨⌐◨-◨
