[APPROVED] NEAR Metaverse Prize and Educational Videos

Project Report

NEAR Metaverse Prize and Educational Videos

Project Status: Completed

Project Accounting: NEAR Metaverse Prize was held at December 19th at Createbase Piers, Mintbase Cryptovoxels parcel. We had more than 100 people on the party, 3 DJs, 25 visual art contesters, 20 gambiarra artists. We had some issues with the videos, due to a Cryptovoxels failure, so we couldnt pass the educational video, which we put at the second floor of our NEAR Metaverse Connection Center. Instead of making a second educational video, John made an introduction video to our building. We could also make 2 interviews with the winners of the prize. We spent 1320 USD in NEAR, 70 usd more than we had foreseen (the reason here is that we had publicized the prize in NEAR, and not in USD, and NEAR variation made us pay more than what we had foreseen + Astro

Updated Project Timeline:
The event happened at December 19th, so the project was made on time, as foreseen. Onboarding didnt happen because I returned the resources to Mintbase DAO.

Highlights:
Final Products: 1 Metaverse Prize with 6 winners, 2 winners interviews, and 1 Educational Video and 1 introductory video, 1 exhibition, 3 sets of musical shows, 1 NFT in the historical store. 20 artists from Gambiarra store on Mintbase exhibiting works, 25 visual artists for the prize together with 10 music artists, more than 100 people in the event.

We did not onboard people, because we had already returned the resources to Mintbase DAO.

Learnings:
We could learn that 3 sets of 45 minutes is too much to make people stay in the party until the end. 2 sets is more than enough.

Next Steps:
Next steps are to keep building this prize next/every month, create a marketing strategy to call artists to come to metaverse and to call collectors to participate.
