[PROPOSAL]Project 2 Beatdao Championship Rap
Description:
Music is a tool for change and most importantly marketing. Most activities we organise in BEATDAO are web3 related, hence, my proposal to make a proposal for a real life event which will be hosted once in a month.
It is called Beatdao Championship Rap. This is a real life event similar to Ultimate League Rap which involves rappers battling for prizes and getting points for excellent performances.
The location will be around the University of Ibadan, where the Polytechnic Ibadan also is not far from. The aim is to be able to get youth to be exposed to the crypto space easily and being onboarded into web3 through BeatDAO and participate in web3 activities.
This is no doubt going to be fun as it aims to bring together rappers of different kind in real life, engage them with the sole aim of marketing Near to them.
Activities & timelines:
10rappers, 3Winners.
Duration: 1 month.
There will be auditions and videos will be sent to BeatDAOâs YouTube/ twitter/IG, contestants with the highest engagements will make up the 10 initial rappers.
Rappers are going be paired with one another by doing a random raffle selecting method.
10 contestants would be paired in twos. Making it 5 battles.The best between the pairs would move to the next level.
Level two involves an Acapella performance to the judges, where only one would be eliminated reducing the number of contestants to 4.
Level three involves pairing in twos for 2 battles. This time theyâd both have two challenges
- Battle rap with a beat
- Battle rap without a beat (Acapella)
The best between both pairs would advance to the final stage.This is going to be very cheap as the budget will not be more than 1240usd
Three winners will share 250usd ($100, $80, $70)
Expected Attendance: 150
Radio Partners: Splash FM (SplashFM 105.5 Ibadan | Ibadan)

- Create near wallets for new creatives and ensure they transact with the wallets through minting of NFTs and participation in bounties.
- Evangelize with Near for visitors and musicians who are present to bring their music, for us to offer it to become NFT Music into Beat DAO on Mintbase and Tamago
During the final show, there will be Near Educational talks to enlighten the crowd about impact of Near Ecosystem in the real world by @BigM007 and producerâs music workshop by @skthealternator
