What are you building?:

Bored Town’s mission is “No utilities, no roadmap, just art” and we’ve grown into a thriving community on Optimism. We encourage engagement and contributions from members through quests, town halls, cross-promotions, and giveaways. Our active Discord and Twitter followings help us promote NFT art and support artists and collectors. We’re dedicated to supporting new artists by showcasing their work and providing resources and guidance. Recently, our founder launched the Bored 101 collection, the first-ever 1/1 art collection on Optimism. Our goal is to expand the reach of NFT art and foster its growth in the Optimism ecosystem.

We seek a grant from Optimism to fund an art contest to create a new NFT art collection to promote Bored Town and Optimism. The contest will:

Showcase artists’ skills and creativity
Promote NFT art and NFT community on Optimism
Attract new collectors to the Optimism ecosystem
Use OP tokens to:

Reward participating artists
Incentivize community participation in multiple steps of the contest
Encourage the minting of the NFT collection
Stimulate trade
By funding this art contest and utilizing OP tokens, Optimism can:

Support the growth of NFT art
Promote the NFT community on Optimism
Attract new users to the Optimism ecosystem. Bored Town X Optimism Art Contest:

Artists are invited to create Bored Town-inspired art featuring the OP logo. The contest will engage established members of the Optimism NFT community and attract new collectors to vote for their favorite artworks via Snapshot in multiple stages. The top vote-getting pieces will be showcased in a new NFT collection on Optimism. Additionally, a 1/1 art piece from each of the top 25 artists and exclusive NFT artwork from Bored Town will be presented in the collection, further enhancing the marketing prospects for both the artists and Optimism
