Hello @mr_free @zubairansari07 .
Nice to see you again .

Starting with @zubairansari07 Question about my journey with Near .

I joined Near 6 Months Back , as users or you can say as trade and Holder too and Doesn’t know about any grants or funding program , later on I saw the creative DAO on Twitter Channel , Which helping the people for their creative Ideas and talents to create Value in Near Ecosystem . As I saw many proposal , I am not sure Mandala DAO Idea will create Benefit to near ecosystem , But Later on I saw Kalakendra DAO , Naksh and different DAO Including some Music DAO too the ideas and Vision are the same like Mine , So I Communicate with my team member @Mahima , She is Mandala Artist from More Than 5 Years Now and she Got Various Rewards and Certificates from Organization . Also We saw some Mandala NFTs on Mintbase and then we decided to Start the DAO as we already have Community and People are likely to grow in WEB3 as NFTs Artist Creator .
Currently I am working with Graffiti DAO as Social Media And Content Creator .

About the Social Media Campaign

As the Starting Funding for Onboarding is cap $500 , and So we started to plan with some Mandala Contest , these contest will run for 20 days , We are going to Run an Ad campaign on Social media to get participant , we also mentioned all the terms and condition to join and what are the benefits for these event . Users have to fill the google form and ready for the contest and submit the Original and PNG file . Later On there will be 35 Winners and rewarded them with Near Wallets , NFTs of their Own ( Minted on Mintbase ) + Also Onboarding them to Our Social Media Channel and Near Ecosystem .

**

Thanks for Feedback and looking for Getting these Approved as we are likely to start these event in next 4 DAYS .

Please describe the event more (where, when and how, etc)
Also, I didn’t find answers to the questions I asked in the previous message.

Hello @mr_free @zubairansari07 @kc_sollano
Thank you.

We posted this proposal on 10th of July,2022([[Introduction + Proposal]Mandala DAO - Connecting Millions of Mandala Artist into Near into the form of NFTs] Mandala DAO- July-2022 2]([Introduction + Proposal]Mandala DAO - Connecting Millions of Mandala Artist into Near into the form of NFTs] Mandala DAO- July-2022) But the proposal didn’t get accepted, as we were late on the timeline.

As the deadline to submit the proposal has already passed, we were suggested to start connecting with the people via onboarding dao as a kickstart.

So, as I understand, you don’t need because it doubles with monthly budget

It would have doubled, only if the proposal was accepted.

Please explain more about the event

We plan to run a 20 days online contest for people to participate via various social media platforms, where people across the globe can participate by sending in their artwork. We will also mention all the terms and condition to join and what are the benefits for this event Top 30-35 participants will be rewarded with near tokens NFTs of their Own (Minted on Mint base) + Also Onboarding them to Our Social Media Channel and Near Ecosystem and winner will be awarded with a prize too. Also, we will hold a virtual session with these top artists to educate them about the Near Mint base.

Why do you expect so? How many members in your community?

We expect it because artists are always in search of promising and right platforms to showcase their artwork, which we are going to provide them the same. Currently, we have a around 40 members on our Instagram Mandala community.

Please explain in details. Minting NFT is not so expensive in Near

We Know that Minting NFTs on Mint base Near is very cheap, but for the safer side we are asking for 50$ to Mint and Promote the Auction it, (Means Promote it on social media) and we are Expecting more than 100 + Entry for this event.

How/where/when it will happen?

How/where – via social media platforms (twitter-instagram-facebook)

When – from 26th of July,2022.

I hope this should answer all the questions.
Thank you.

We can wait.

How will rewards willbe distributed (how manny winners, reward per winner, etc)?

I found this link, but it’s no valid https://www.instagram.com/mahiartforyou/
Also, a follower does not equal to community member.

But you also asked 100$ for the promotion.
I understand that you need MintBase store, but Paras is a good entry point for newcomers, as for me.
For example, You can help to create wallets for contest participants and help them to mint their work as NFT on Paras.

I suggest starting from smaller steps and seeing how it will go.
For example:
Social media promotion - 20-50$
Rewards: 150-200$ pool, 50$/35$/20$ + 7* 5$ for 10 winners
Mintbase store: discussed
40 Near wallets: 30-40$
Minting Mandala artwork: might be cheap >10$

Please let me know your thoughts
