The Palm Collective, the Web3 artists collective that enables creators, brands and fans to self-organize, announced the launch of the Obscura Community on Monday, March 11th.
According to the press release shared with Cryptowisser, the Palm Collective said the new platform is dedicated to empowering artists in the Web3 ecosystem. To celebrate the community’s birth and womxn’s Month, the collective is extending an invitation to artists and designers regardless of gender identity to participate in a showcase initiative intended to promote a more inclusive society.
Womxn’s Month is an annual event that serves as a reminder of the achievements of womxn throughout the years in society. The event offers artists an exclusive opportunity to participate in its “Call x Digital Art: Egalitarian Utopia” initiative. It would harness the power of Palm Collective’s community to demonstrate its unique visions of an egalitarian utopia and help shape a more inclusive and harmonious society through the medium of art.
The event called the Call x Digital Art: Egalitarian Utopia, is starting today and is open to any artist. There are rewards on offer for the most impressive contributions, with the Palm Foundation set to grant $1,000 to the artists who achieve the most votes. The artist’s work will also be displayed in a window display on Broadway Avenue in New York on April 1.
Furthermore, the leading 15 to 20 curated artists by the curatorial committee, comprised of Empress Trash (@Empresstrash) Dawnia AKA (@letsglitchit) ObscuraDAO (@ObscuraDAO) and UnknownCollector (@unknowncollector), will also be invited to showcase their submissions at an immersive wall to ceiling display at Lume Studios NYC during this year’s Palm Collective NFTNYC event. The runners-up will be able to claim Palm Collective Proofs.
To participate in this contest, artists will need to connect a crypto wallet and create a Palm ID. They will proceed to mint their NFTs on the Palm Network and submit them before the March 22 deadline.
The Palm Collective added that only one submission is allowed per artist. The artwork must be original and not previously minted anywhere else. Furthermore, the artwork must be minted on the Palm Network.
Artists must ensure they also follow the Palm Collective’s terms and conditions and must be ready to provide a high-definition version of their work for projection in case it’s selected. Call x Digital Art: Egalitarian Utopia is open to every kind of digital medium, including photo, video, music, 3D and AI, though submissions using AI must be disclosed.
The team revealed that the submission period lasts from March 11 to 4 p.m. EST on March 22, and will be followed by the curation period, which runs from March 23 to March 25. Collective voting will open at 7 a.m. EST on March 26 and run until 4 p.m. EST on March 28. The lucky winners’ artworks will be publicly displayed at LUME Studios NTY for just one day during the Egalitarian Utopia Closing Party, from 7.00 p.m. to 12 a.m. on April 1.
