[CLOSED] Thespians DAO December 2022 - January 2023 Content Creations and Social Media Management Funding Request

LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE THE GUIDELINES

  • Assessment by M DAO:

    1. Does this project create an inspiring, vibrant community that makes people want to join?

Let me give you a sample of what we intend to achieve, may be you will get to understand the concept more:

We shot this for pulse TV as far back as 2019. It gets youths involved and so fun to interact with. This time around we are not talking about “shine”, we are talking about “NEAR & Crypto”, by asking students some witty questions relating to Web3, we bend their neck more towards seeing the values we create in NEAR PROTOCOL.

They would want to know about us, they would want to join, so we onboard them!!!

  1. Does the project promote core qualities, characteristics, and progress about NEAR that can educate and inspire others to take action?

We are meeting you and teaching you about the Web3 and some areas you may not know. Universities in Nigeria are fertile grounds for NEAR Community to grow; I’m not just saying… I’m declaring fact. Students would learn how to mint, what NFTs are, and how to trade on the NEAR PROTOCOL. The only two popular cryptocurrency here are BTC and Eth; no other better way than us going to meet them and them seeing it directly from their Alumni that these things work.

  1. Is this project providing value to other builders and projects in the ecosystem in ways in which it accelerates their growth?

We have outlined weekly activities to keep the Ecosystem busy abd carry new NEARians along. I know alot of active members that have been onboarded from our activities, we have always done more than we promised. And they are building on the go!

Hello @Klint hope your KPIs imbibed in our success structure, thanks

Hi @Roxy have reviewed you proposal and really like the creativity in your plans.

I have also read your follow up comments and appreciate your points, however i am reluctantly unable to support your request. In the current market conditions we have had to make some hard choices on which projects to allocate funding. Please feel free to resubmit in the future.

Thanks for your proposal Roxy.

Marketing DAO paused recently to review and the conditions for funding new projects have been stated very clearly on the latest guidelines. These guidelines have been developed with and reviewed by NEAR Foundation.

Unfortunately I am unable to support this proposal as:

The core of the project is not sufficiently related to NEAR

There are a few indicators that lead me to reach that conclusion;

  • Thespians is a creative collective with great artistic output
  • All the content in social media is related to this creative output with sparse mentions of NEAR
  • Content in social media us thus promoting the creative work and seeking to grow the Thespians community first, NEAR second
  • There are prizes for drama competitions sponsored by NEAR, which is very far outside of our scope

I want to acknowledge that while the community can leverage and benefit from the NEAR tech stack, and there may be ways to collaborate, this is sadly not enough to meet the current thresholds.
