InternatioNouns Prop House - Make Nouns Go Viral
===

**InternatioNouns exists to bring the international Nouns community together through the universal language of Art. Here's how it works:**


InternatioNouns is a multi-lingual community connecting the different languages that are represented around the world-wide Nouns community.

We currently operate a weekly SoapBox on The Noun Square and are expanding our discord. The InternatioNouns team spent a several months over the summer preparing our Discord and beginning to run international Twitter Spaces. By the end of September we were ready for more. We applied to receive a 2ETH grant from NSFW which was funded, so we began our plan to experiment with international art contests.

**Here are our Twitter analytics from September before we began:**


**And here are the numbers from October:**


**That's 20x impressions and 40x profile visits in a single month.**

We really think we're on to something. We're seeing artists and builders from around the world flock to our Discord in droves and we believe that we're only scratching the surface when it comes to tapping into these huge international communities.


We have 12 channels that automatically translate into 18 languages. We also have regional channels and channels for local groups, where people are meeting others who speak their language!




We are teaching non-English speaking artists about noundry, composables, and traits in general while exposing them to various mechanisms for minting, voting, and sharing best practices.

We are supporting groups from Africa, the Philippines, Brazil, and Japan in starting their own SoapBoxes, DAOs, and discords. And are looking into producing a second InternatioNouns weekly show at a different time of day to speak live in more time zones.

Our reach so far has been amazing! Our contest posts are already receving 1/3 as many as the Noun Square, partly due to their support of course, but we know that artists being able to talk to one another in 18 languages is making a big difference as well!

**Substantial Reach**
As young as we are, and with a small team and budget, our contests are already getting an amazing abount of impressions and great engagement.

With 2ETH and a tiny team, we were able to achieve these numbers, so we're very excited about the viral potential we will have if we win this prop house round.

With 4ETH, we will be able to expand our experimentation for the next two months, continue our exponential growth, and work further towards self-sufficiency.

Each week we plan to run an art contest through our Twitter space which will run for the entire following week. Each contest will have winners with varying prize levels, and those winning submissions will then be sold as limited edition NFTs. All of the proceeds for the mint sales will be split evenly between the prize pool and the InternatiNouns team doing the work behind the scenes. Any after market sales will have a 10% reward that will go back to the Noun o'clock team for their generosity in sharing their soapbox platform.


Our goal is that with each month, we will continue to gather momentum, reach more people with the meme, and create our own self-sustaining flywheel.

- Contests attract artists.
- Artist create great art.
- Great art mints for ETH.
- Mint funds go towards large prizes
- Larger prizes draw more artists.
- More artists increases the quality of art.
- Higher quality leads to higher mint prices.
- Higher mint prices lead to even larger prizes.

We have seen what 1 month can do and we know we are uniquely positioned to reach the world with Nouns. We would be honored to have your votes to help us continue on this mission.

If you have further ideas or questions regarding this proposal, reach out to Andrew Ladduaw on Twitter, Farcaster, or Discord. The entire team would also love for you to come join our Discord community to come and chat.
