The participation and the engagement helps us validate this as an effective way to seed the site with nounish traits.

In the coming months, we plan on doing another competition but with a different jury. A little alpha for you propdates readers: We have SloppyPencil, TheBoneys, Supriyo, CarlosGreta, and Joshua Fisher confirmed as our new jury!

We are keen to experiment with more decentralized competition models but have yet to find the perfect one; that's why we prefer to focus on a proven model for now. If you have any suggestions, get in touch!

We also want to do more to reach new artists, and we see Basepaint as a great place to connect with crypto-savvy pixel artists.
