Lost Worlds has a mission to become THE creator and community driven Location Based NFT platform. To inspire that effort we are introducing an initiative called the World Creators Program (WCP). A creative ambassadors program where we champion and reward NFT artist all over the world for developing Location Based gNFT drops, voted on and approved by the Lost Worlds community.

The premise is simple, NFT artist create work that is themed and tied to a location, if the community likes it, the artist is rewarded both with LOST and their own revenue generating NFT drop.

How it Works

The Lost Worlds team will be collecting themed briefs inspired by the community that would work well as individual gNFTs, or a Location Based NFT project.

Those themes will be refined and presented to the community for a 3 day vote in the discord.

The winning theme will then be shared for an open call to all artist who will be given 10 days to submit their best works tied to that themes brief.

Once submissions are closed a final community vote will be tallied and a winner announced.

Prize

Winning the contest will give creators the opportunity to have their own location based NFT mint on Lost Worlds, including 25% of the mint revenue, as well as a reward in LOST.

Discord Poll (continentNFT holders verified in the discord will be given an extra vote per Continent owned — i.e., you will have up to 7 additional votes)

Once the submission window is closed the community and team will select creative submissions influenced by:

  1. Creativity — Uniqueness and Skill
  2. Location — Is this drop going to be accessible to people, and or is it an interesting place to drop an NFT
  3. Popularity — Are people excited about what your work

Final Community Vote
