Official pre-announcement of an intention to post an announcement!One of my suggested 'actions' that people could perform to 'earn' an ORA stake is submit an entry in the inaugural 'CryptFest: Crypto short film festival'. The community will need to decide if we end up 'paying' every person who submits an entry an ORA stake, but I can confirm that CryptFest will be proceeding in some form.
fragORA is currently working on the CryptFest site, and I must say I'm pretty pumped over what I've seen so far. I'm putting up the prize money, so even if the vote decides to distribute the left over stakes in another way that doesn't leave room for paying people to enter 'CryptFest', there'll still be the official first prize, the Palme d'ORA!
If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to make them now. I'm using the 'Tropfest' short film festival as inspiration for CryptFest (and blatantly copying their name ... imitation, greatest form of flattery and all that lol), but if anybody can help with the basic outline of the plan let me know.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TropfestMy thinking is to make the definition of 'Short film' as broad as possible, so fiction, non-fiction, video of a monologue/dialogue etc is fine. Could be a song, poem, animation, multi-media etc ... anything really, as long as you can upload it to youtube.
I think to ensure we get good entries, and to extract the maximum marketing benefit possible, I'm thinking the closing date for entries should be at least 2 months from now. If the community decides to pay every entrant a stake, then we need to wait until after the vote to confirm that, but I think it's wise to announce the intention to announce so serious entrants have enough time. Depending on the reaction we get (which I'm hoping will extend across the wider crypto community) I could possibly make the prize a bit bigger too. If you want to catch a big fish, you need a big worm
