Explanation of the contest

The reason we started this contest, is because we thought it would be awesome to have a contest where music and visual arts come together. Wouldn't it be great to have a soundtrack to go with a painting, drawing or photo and vice versa? Each episode will have two rounds. Round one for visual artists, round two for musicians (of all genres).

  • In round 1 (current round), visual artists can submit their piece of art (painting, drawing, photo). Style doesn't matter.
  • In round 2, musicians, bands, DJs or other musical artists can submit their track that fits the art of round 1 well.

Round 1 (current round)

  • Submit your visual art before November 22nd;
  • Starting November 22nd the Whaleshares community will have 24 hours to vote for their favourite painting, drawing or photo.

Round 2 (starts November 23rd)

  • Check the winner of round 1 in the announcement post for round2;
  • Submit your track/song that matches the visual art of round 1 between 23 and 30 November;
  • On December 1st, the Whaleshares community will have 24 hours to vote for the track that best fits the visual art selected in round 1.

Rules

  • Create a post and use the tag #ArtSoundtrack;
  • Comment with a link to your submission and Bitshares address;
  • Use a link to this contest in your submission post;
  • Submit before November 22nd (round 1) or November 30th (round 2)

About the Whaletokens

TokenDescription
Pixel is a token that is looking for helping artists of many disciplines to develop professionally and while they do, to have an economical support and social recognition/support in the platform. It is a token that can be earned but not traded.
Supporting musicians in general by giving their music some airplay online so it reaches people and get's artists the recognition they deserve for the music, more than their marketing skills

If you want to contribute to the rewards pool in any way (rewarding/tokens you name it), contact Roel on Discord via Roel#4485 or comment below :-)

Example

When in round one, the painting below won Sgt. Peppter's Lonely Hearts Club Band would be a matching track ;-) Of course, this is an obvious example but that's just to make the idea of this contest more clear.

The entire Whaleshares community will be able to vote for the best art on November 22nd so stay tuned if you're not an artist, but an admirer.
