POB NFT Scholarship Proposal

in #proofofbrain2 years ago

20211227_105036.jpg

I propose a scholarship fund to support at least one exceptional artist each year with the POB NFT whitelisting fee. This artist should be active in POB and VYB creating art that benefits the community. The art can be in the form of music, audio, video or other visual art that can be minted in an NFT form. Preference will be given to artists who can create in demand collectible art like pob punks, card games, books, puzzles, series, etc...

The POB NFT whitelisting fee is 1000 POB. I am willing to support 250 POB this year. I would like others including @proofofbrainio to contribute to this fund.

I made a new account called @pobscholarship and each year the funds from the account can support exceptional artists who contribute to the market value of POB and VYB.

If you know any exceptional artist who have promoted the pob or vyb community let me know. Each artist interested in recieving this type of scholarship can make a scholarship application post including recent works as well as plans for future works.

You can link your scholarship application to the @pobscholarship post after @pobscholarship makes the official announcement. If your are interested in contributing to the POB NFT whitelist scholarship you can donate to @pobscholarships. I will use that account only for supporting artists to pay the POB NFT whitelist fee.

I am making this post make the community aware of my intentions. If I am going the wrong direction with this please tell me now because once @pobscholarship posts it will be hard to go back. I expect @pobscholarship to post around January 1st.

Let me know your totally honest opinion here before I start anything. I wonder if pobfunds should already be doing something like this.

Let me know your two cents in the comments.

Sort:  

while the idea is nice what blockchain would you be minting on hive ? Why nor support @nftshowroom then who have worked tirelessly for artists ? and the minting feee is more than people can afford if it is a per piece mint if it is just for whitelisting keep in mind that many low income artists cant afford it either- art should never exclude because of lack
of funds the world already does that enough

Thank you for your comment @tygertyger,

keep in mind that many low income artists cant afford it

Yes, I think that's why POB kept minting fees at 6 POB. If one POB is around 0.05 Hive then the cost of minting one NFT is 0.3 Hive and 0.05 Hive for each additional edition.

The difficulty is getting whitelisted. That's why I want to ask the community to help artists who contribute to the community with the one time whitelist fee.

One artist made a whole series based on POB but publishes on WAX. I would like to see his work on Hive and others. If we can get over the whitelist fee the POB NFT is the best place for struggling artists to find a market. I love NFT Showroom but POB NFT serves another niche for those who don't have 6 Hive to mint a token.

At the moment minting on showroom is 3 hive at the moment an o.3 for each edition linked to it - keep me posted on your progress

Now the whitelist fee is not a barrier for artists to post in POB NFTs. I expect our first scholarship will come out soon.

Ahh.. I haven't minted on NFTshowroom for a while. Thanks for correcting me about the cost. I will double check my sources and put a post out from @pobscholarship to support artists in pob and vyb

I would like to second @chincoculbert amd nominate @jaxsonmurph for the first one 🙌

What a great idea ❤️

Thank you for your nomination, it is very much appreciated @wrestlingdesires

Glad to see that you agree with me!!..it's actually the best idea. Thanks for supporting a Friend 😩😩❤️

I think it is a great idea my friend. The whitelisting fee is quite high and this would give the artist a chance to get his art showcased. The first person that comes to my mind for this scholarship is non other than @jaxsonmurph , I hope this works out and he make his application. Dude needs to be whitelisted as soon as possible 🥰

Oh Wow this is an awesome Idea @mineopoly, and Thank you @chincoculbert and @wrestlingdesires for both considering me for this initiative and tagging me in this post, I would certainly put in an application once the official post is made and would support this awesome initiative going forward, whether I was choosen or not.

Ever Since the launch of the proof of brain NFT marketplace I have been planning a New Year Launch as I wanted to accumulate liquid tokens rather than powering down my stake.

But a @Pobscholarship would certainly pave the way forward for great artists to become whitelisted.

While the 1000 POB fee is quite reasonable to become whitelisted compared to the obstacles of other marketplaces, it can take a few weeks to accumulate, Please tag me in the @pobscholarship post @mineopoly I would me happy to make my case and have been building quite a collection, thats close to completion, with a few additions

You're welcome bro, you actually really deserve it a lot more than you can imagine ❤️

Thank you so much my friend

I hope you will be the first one to be whitelisted ❤️ You really deserve it!

Thank you @wrestlingdesires I really appreciate that, it would certainly be awesome !LOLZ

This is a good Initiative that will first, promote the POB community , get the artist to larger audience and encourage more artist with their creation.

It should be a chain reaction. If POB is going to remain alive then there should be artists using the POB NFTs. If not then it is a waste of code.

I quite agree with you on this. Am not good with arts but I will see how to contribute.

Don't worry about it. No obligation... but I noticed that in these communities there are people that follow the actions you make so they are influential^^

That's a very inspiring idea. I am working on a publication for several weeks now and may finish it within the next week or so. It's a card game I've invented. I am very interested to distribute it in one way or the other and maybe I should talk to you people or those who know more about the market place here.

A very fine initiative! Thank you.
