CryptoCuse is hosting its first official NFT Design Competition in collaboration with Newhouse and VPA. No prior knowledge of cryptocurrency or NFTs is required and anyone can submit an original work of art. Submitted artwork will be judged for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place with the chance to win a prize. The artwork will then be minted as two NFTs — one for the artist to keep and another that will be distributed across the Orange community to students, athletes, alumni, and faculty. This will create community-wide appreciation and provide benefits to both the artist and the NFT holder.

The theme of the competition is “What does it mean to be a Syracuse student?” Submission deadline is Friday December 2. Please title your artwork and give a description of it which will be displayed alongside your artwork as an NFT.

Top three artists will receive rewards that include a high quality JBL Flip 6 portable speaker, gift cards and disposable camera.

For NFT Holders, benefits include perks from collaborations with student organizations and the chance to be part of original CryptoCuse community with priority access to future events and collections.

For every piece of art submitted, one NFT will be minted for the artist and one minted to be distributed to the community. NFTs will be distributed after the submission deadline. After the deadline, a form will open to claim a chance at winning an NFT. There will be fair distribution across students, faculty, and alumni.
