Cuse Blockchains is hosting its first official NFT Design Competition in collaboration with Newhouse and VPA, and we would love for you to be part of it! No prior knowledge of cryptocurrency or NFTs is required. 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 for you and provide benefits to both you and the NFT holder!
