I am going to be launching a mysterious community project soon, and I need some promotional artwork/media. It's a non-profit endeavour, but to make it a little more fun I'm putting 3000 mBTC up for grabs. The project theme is:"m-day is coming."(m-day is June 2, 2013)
This is all the information you have, and your job is to create teaser images, trailers, or other forms of media which will get people interested and excited about it.I
can promise you that the project is not in any way objectionable and that this is for a good cause. No matter what your talent is, just give it a shot and have fun with it. Images large and small, youtube videos, shirts, 3D prints, cleverly worded tweets, you name it--we can use them all. It could be dirt simple or a full on Hollywood production--just make me interested in M-day!
The money works as follows: You can submit as many different things as you want. I will be giving the entry I select as the best one 2000 mBTC out of my own pocket. I will also give a prize of 1000 mBTC to a "community winner" as selected by votes on this forum (from accounts created prior to May 10--accounts created after this can enter the contest, they just can't vote). The same person cannot win both amounts, and community voting will begin only
after the first reward is announced. The community vote will only be held if a sufficient quantity of quality entries are received (but don't worry--I
want to hold it).
The submission period begins immediately, and runs for one week, with the winner to be announced during the Bitcoin 2013 conference. As part of the judging I will be asking people at the conference if they have heard about m-day and if so where and how, so feel free to promote your creations anywhere within the Bitcoin community that you like (Facebook, Twitter, etc.). Nonetheless
only entries which have a submission in this thread will be eligible to win. Make sure your submission is in by end of day Saturday (May 18) if you want it to be considered.
For those who don't know me I am a long-standing member of the community (I wrote the
Introduction to Bitcoin, for example). I run these little projects from time to time with the aim of growing the Bitcoin userbase and improving user-friendliness of The Bitcoin Experience
TM.
