Film + Media (FAM) creatives unite!

A challenge category for creatives has been absent so far. Diversity + human creativity in the arts can enrich the Cardano ecosystem.

Teams collaborating equitably to produce inclusive, high quality multimedia content + platforms = increase knowledge + adoption of Cardano.

As a measure of the health of the ecosystem:

number of multimedia projects

number of multimedia platforms

number of multilingual teams

number of decentralised film crews

number of decentralised news teams

number of decentralised content creation teams

number of decentralised multimedia projects sharing resources (eg RAW footage) to avoid unnecessary costs and CO2 emissions from travelling to shoot footage on site

Sustainable Development Goals:

Goal 16. Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels 

SDG Subgoals

16.10 Ensure public access to information and protect fundamental freedoms, in accordance with national legislation and international agreements

Creatives, writers, artists, filmmakers, photographers + more, collaborating equitably, can enrich the ecosystem with their cultural diversity.

Cardano has a strong YouTube community, but unfortunately YT is not received well everywhere.

It's sometimes called misleading or not telling the truth.

We need a bridge between YouTube, the traditional media, TV and film.

We need to communicate a clear message towards media.

It's crucial to create educational and inspiring content which the national media and TV stations would gladly use in their daily programmes.

This video shows who we'd like to onboard in this challenge:

Journalists, filmmakers and documentary filmmakers are not our only goal though.

Experience in F8 says it's rather a small percentage of proposers we attract by this challenge.

So we are still open to any creatives since art in general can help spread the word about Cardano.

Spreading the word about Cardano and its projects is the main goal of this challenge.

In this early stage, the cooperation between YouTubers and TV & Film professionals is not only welcomed, it's needed.

A specific challenge for this should open the gates for both education and inspiration.

The Film and Media (FAM) Challenge aims to boost knowledge and adoption of Cardano for global audiences by enabling:

• A challenge platform for the facilitation of professionals and creatives to connect, collaborate and coordinate
• The launch of projects that spotlight the multitude of stories within the Cardano ecosystem
• Multimedia projects that illustrate how Cardano's blockchain is the 'green blockchain' solution in a world that needs solutions to the climate emergency

A dedicated challenge category for this creative group to platform their catalysing ideas has been welcomed in Fund 8, with over 50 ideas submitted.

Let's continue to provide a dedicated space for creativity to flourish and seek the support to take action.

By having this dedicated category, we enable potentially impactful projects struggling to find their place in Challenge categories, as they are considered to be not quite the 'right fit', to find a home here.

The FAM challenge category can unlock a flow of submission of ideas and proposals that bring about high quality, educational and inspirational multi-lingual multi-media content.

Content that helps build bridges within the Cardano ecosystem and across multi sectoral ecosystems, globally.

So FAM creatives, in all corners of the world, step up.

You are the ones we have been waiting for.

The challenge already has an existing Telegram group since F8:
