MissionDrivenPools Media Competiton

Launch a competition open to mission driven pools, winners chosen via public vote receive a professional promo video made for them in kind

15+ years in TV | Documentary Filmmaking, Educators | Video editing | Projects across 4 continents

Plan in detail:

In order to bring a spotlight to Mission Driven Pools and help them connect to delegators worldwide Sustainable ADA intend to launch a competition and give them a platform to promote themselves.

The competition:

Top 10 SPOs as voted for by the people, and a bonus 11th pool as chosen by Sustainable ADA and Adatruth.

Every pool that enters must pitch themselves in a 'tweet length' (240 characters) about why they are the Mission Driven Pool (MDP) to receive the prize video to showcase them.

The costs for quality marketing and promo videos is not cheap and we propose to use a modest amount of treasury funds to cover the costs of stimulating community excitement and engagement with SPOs, and using our skills in service for the voted for stake pool operators, to help them connect with audiences and delegators.

Our team at Sustainable ADA and Adatruth will then publish the results of the votes and choose a bonus 11th pool we feel wins based on a mix of the pool's:

*Mission Driven Running Operations

*Their support of Mission Driven Impact Projects

*In a location that is particularly challenging and is running nonetheless

*Anything else of special regard that makes them standout particularly

Competition is open to all entries as received in the Twitter Thread message (must be from a Twitter account belonging to the Pool) from the moment the competition goes live and will run for 2 weeks on Twitter.

Prize: 11 SPOs will each receive a professionally made 3-5 mins promo video made for them, showcasing their Mission Driven Pool, team, and impact.

Made by an international team of experienced filmmakers, videographers, photographers, video and story editors/writers, including translation work into multiple languages that are spoken in the Cardano ecosystem.

Rules for entry:

You must be a single pool operator

You must be a Mission Driven Pool and be able to justify why

(Our team possess native language skills and connections to native speakers in the following languages to produce videos with subtitle translations in English, Czech, French, Indonesian, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Vietnamese, Hindi)

Impact: Videos have the power to inform, educate and emotionally inspire. We believe this is a missing piece in the puzzle to help connect delegators to Mission Driven Pools, and help direct ADA flows towards measurable positive sustainable impact globally.

* Videos can be used in multiple settings (online promotional campaigns, IOG marketing, Cardano Foundation communication, Educational settings etc)

Feasibility: We are a committed and proven group of active catalyst community members, with experience of producing a range of impactful videos for the community.
