[PROPOSAL] Groundwork event for writers' collective

Guild Leader: @beet93
Council Members: @beet93 @debenick @reina gloryma4.near
DAO account: syzygy-guild.sputnik-dao.near

Funds to be allocated for activity: 320 USD
This activity will be part of our March activities.

Activity Summary

The plan is to initiate a young writers’ and creatives collective where they’ll be able to share their craft, promote their work and eventually publish and be rewarded through incentives and competition prizes.

In the long run, with their increasing knowledge of the crypto ecosystem and Near through our Dev events, they can confidently enter the NFT space (Mintbase for example) to establish verifiable ownership of, or market their craft. (3rd & 4th week of February)

We will start by selecting a writers’ collective and then developing their community by:

  • Educating the collective and individuals within about Web3, NFTs, NEAR, and the relation to creatives and how it can push their craft further.

  • This should lead to onboarding of their members and/or the collective on NEAR, where they can be part of a buzzing and active wider community of creatives, and gain more exposure.

  • It should also lead to them having a digital store on platforms like Mintbase where they can mint their work as NFTs and sell.

We shall be organising competitions around the collectives, and as they onboard, shift to bounties within the community to get them more engaged.

Breakdown

  • Budget for writers (pieces to be published on Medium) - 45 USD/piece rewarded at the end of the month x 6 writers = 270 USD x N

  • Writers’ prompt and winner - 50 USD x N
