Get Minted Challenge: Wang Chung Edition

Today we are thrilled to present a NFT contest, where the theme is the legendary New Wave band Wang Chung.

Wang Chung dominated the charts during the 80’s golden era of pop music. Their top ten hits such as ‘Dance Hall Days’ and ‘Everybody Have Fun Tonight’ are rated highly by a nostalgic audience even today. They have been immortalized in TV shows includingThe Big Bang Theory, Breaking Bad, The Simpsons, South Park, Two and a Half Men and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. We could not be more excited to collaborate with them on this event.

Get Minted Challenge: Wang Chung Edition

Blind Boxes invites creators to showcase fresh artwork, memes, 3D renders, video loops, VR assets or AR filters inspired by Wang Chung. By crowdsourcing creativity, we are actively engaging artists to design pieces and have them turned into NFTs.

For the next 14 days, artists can upload submissions on Twitter and Instagram by tagging @blindboxes_io and using the hashtag #wangchungNFT. Top entries will be upvoted by BLES token holders and announced in the month of May. Winners will have their work tokenized and sold during a special drop event. This drop will coincide with the Wang Chung auction-only event that we are co-hosting with Blockparty.

Voting

Winners will be decided based on votes from the Blind Boxes community of BLES token holders. Voting will occur on-chain to ensure transparency and efficiency. To incentivize voting, a voting rewards pool of BLES will be announced.

This BLES rewards pool will be distributed to:

Creators of the artworks that receive the most votes (top 5)
Users that vote for the creators that are in the cohort of winners
Collectors that purchase NFTs from this special collection

Submissions

Submit art by uploading images to Twitter and Instagram and tagging the posts with #wangchungNFT. Submissions will be collected and then displayed on the Blind Boxes site, in a special section devoted to the contest.

Voting

Users will have 5 days to vote on their favorite artworks. The top 5 artworks that receive the most votes will win the competition. Voting rewards in the form of $BLES will be distributed to the contest winners and to the users that voted for them.

Winning and Minting

The top 5 artworks will have their work minted into. Once minted, these NFTS will join the Get Minted: Wang Chung Edition Blind Box collection drop. The artists and the band will receive proceeds from sales of blind boxes from this collection. #BLESgetminted
