2.5 the Talkshow’s Crypto Sticker Competition
Let’s face it, it wouldn’t be a crypto gathering without bags of stickers floating around, adorning laptops and random street signs all around the event venue (looking at you, Kevin Owocki). But since we are all…well, you know…we thought we’d go virtual with the whole sticker situation as well.
So put your hands together and give a warm welcome to…the 2,5 the Talkshow’s Crypto Sticker Competition!
2,5 the Talkshow is a virtual experience happening on 19th of November 2020 organised by the team behind EthBerlin — The Department of Decentralization — with the help of some delightful and hard working allies from across the ecosystem.
What we’re looking for: Smart, witty, spicy, creative stickers with distinct Meme-appeal. Obviously!
👥 WHO: Somewhat similar to previous Status Sticker Design Competitions, if you’re a person, have a good eye for memes and a finger on the crypto pulse, then you qualify to participate in this competition.
💭 WHAT: A Sticker Design Competition is split up into two phases:
- Phase 1 — Participants will create 1–5 sticker designs that capture the DoD spirit, crypto life, current trends etc. Designs will be shared on Twitter, tagging @ethstatus & @ETHBerlin and using #TwoPointFive
- Phase 2 — The DoD team will select their top designs and those will be moved on to a community vote in the Status Public Chat and on Twitter.
📍 WHERE: Artists will share their work to Twitter using the hashtag #TwoPointFive Artists should also post links to the work in the public Status channel using #TwoPointFive so the community can vote on them using the new native emoji reactions!
