Crypto Designathon Competition Update
In August we announced a design competition that is open to anyone willing to create open source graphics for the Ark & Ethereum communities. The original announcement and instructions can be found here.
Competition Extension
We’ve decided to extend the competition as we’ve had a lot of artists reaching out saying they’d love to join but it was too short notice so they would be unable to enter. Looking back at our initial announcement we didn’t give enough time for people to enter so with this in mind the competition will end on the 30th November so plenty of artists can have a shot at producing great graphics.
The total prize pool is still $4,000 USD split across the two pools:
Both sections of the competition will have a 1st place along with 2nd & 3rd runner ups. The prizes will be paid out in Ark and Ethereum for both competitions. The prize money is split as seen below:
Assets For Ark — 1st Place: $1000, 2nd/3rd Place: $500
Assets for Ethereum — 1st Place: $1000, 2nd/3rd Place: $500
Hashtag!
We’ll also be using the hashtag #cryptodesignathon and asking all artists who enter to use the hashtag to show off work that they are creating for the competition! We will be featuring some of the WIPs on our social feeds and giving shoutouts across the board so make sure to tag your designs as they progress so the community can see how you progress!
Referral System
If you know of artists who may like to enter then please let them know! If they sign up and win then the person who refers them will also win some sweet wall art! Make sure to let everyone know by sharing the original competition article on your social feeds and make sure that when the artist enters get them to specify who they were referred by when sending their entry to the email address:
cryptodesignathon@gmail.com
Entering The Competition
Remember that entering is as simple as creating a design or graphic that could be beneficial to the community. All graphics and designs entered will be usable by the community and can be a great way to show off your work and get noticed by a large audience! Some examples of entry types can be found below:
Banner/Social Graphics — A nice set of banner graphics for social media which explain what the project achieves whilst having a professional look and suitable colour scheme.
Infographics — These types of art are good as they can visually demonstrate the project they relate to and feature a ton of good information. These types of designs could be useful to new members or those looking to get specifics on parts of the technology in greater detail.
Other assets — A striking set of logos, custom made font packs, project sticker packs, colour scheme templates, visual templates and any asset that could add value to the community visually and be useful for the team.
