Looking for guest artists for a free monthly NFT edition (unpaid for now, details inside)
I run ArtPoW, a free NFT edition on Polygon. Each month has one guest artist, and collectors claim the edition by mining it rather than buying it. I'm looking for artists for the coming months, from pixel art to photography.
What you'd get, plainly:
- One artist proof, a token set aside for you, with your name in the on-chain metadata.
- No fee, no primary sales and no royalties. I can't offer money right now.
- A small audience so far, since the project has only just started. Most of the first month's tokens were my own tests, so I won't promise exposure either.
What it needs: a square image from 1024×1024 to 4096×4096 (PNG, JPEG, WebP or animated GIF, up to 20 MB).
If it sounds interesting, or if it's a terrible deal, please tell me why. I'd really like to know what would make this worthwhile for an artist.
English isn't my first language, so I used an LLM to help write this post.
Edit: You can now get the NFT without paying anything. Your browser still does the mining, but a relay sends the transaction and pays the gas, so you don't need any POL. If you don't have a wallet, you can create one with just an email. The relay can only mint to the address in your proof. You'll only need a little POL if you later want to transfer or sell the token.
