Competition to Create a Full Visual Meme

Objective: To create a deliberately cringe-worthy mascot to rival icons such as Bonk, Lofi Pepe and others. The idea is to make a lasting impression with a unique, viral character that reflects the degen spirit.

Competition format:

Open to graphic designers and content creators.
Everyone is invited whether you’re an OG or new to the community, your entry is welcome!!

In short: design a quirky, memorable character that could become a standout mascot for the ecosystem, completely unrelated to tech.

Prizes:

• Winners will share our $1,000 prize pool in $ALPH.

There will be two voting methods:

1. Ecosystem Voting

2. Community Voting

The Blockflow Alliance DAO will pick our grand winner. We will see his or her design integrated into future Alephium Gazette communication campaigns.

Selection criteria:

1. Originality and viral potential.

2. Humor and visual impact. (videos)

3. Ease of decline into memes (GIFs, stickers, animations).

Instructions:

• Submit your entries (google form + on this post)

• The DAO will shortlist the entries.

• You can submit as many entries as you like.

• The contest ends on February 8, 2025.

"We're inviting everyone to craft a visual meme that not only engages our community but also produces fresh, captivating visual content for $ALPH. Our aim is to project Alephium's image to a broader, younger, more humorous, and less tech-savvy audience. Imagine creating a parallel universe where Solana meets Ethereum, but with Alephium's unique twist.

This approach will allow us to playfully raid competing projects, form partnerships, and gently poke fun at the competition. Essentially, it's about amplifying Alephium's visual identity, much like how Lofi has done for SUI.

Good luck to all!"
