CNFT Awards to celebrate artists & showcase iconic art

BERLIN - NFT-MAKER, the world’s leading brand to enable NFT interaction on Cardano, and EMURGO, the official commercial arm of Cardano, today announced the start of the CNFT Awards 2022, an all-new, decentralized award show to feature and celebrate the most iconic NFT projects on Cardano. The first installment of the annual show will be kicking off online via YouTube on February 19th, supported by various major stakeholders including EMURGO, IOHK, CNFT.IO, Artano, GeroWallet, Tokhun, Budja.io, Genesis House and pool.pm. The sign-up process has started and projects can be registered directly on www.cnft-awards.io.

The CNFT Awards aim to acknowledge some of the most popular and iconic NFT projects on the Cardano Blockchain, while hosting an innovative annual event putting those at the heart of the community in the spotlight. Showcasing various participants in over nine different categories, the CNFT Awards are intended to create a legacy among those who have contributed to the rise of the community, ensuring their names and their stories will be immortalised.

Community voting for all finalists as well as an impartial jury consisting of important stakeholders from within the community responsible for the short list will mindfully select from all participants for each category and make sure the CNFT Awards are a people-driven project for the community, by the community. The future voting system for upcoming years will feature direct implementation and verification on the Blockchain.

“Our aim is to ensure that success and achievement in our community is celebrated globally”, said Patrick Tobler, CEO of NFT-MAKER. “We want to create visibility for those who have created so many mind-blowing assets for the CNFT community and this is our way of giving back to them and building them the stage they deserve.

“As the official commercial arm of Cardano and one of its founding entities, EMURGO is excited to support the cultivation of Cardano’s global NFT community and drive  awareness of the community’s creative talents. NFTs have rapidly gained traction among artists and musicians by providing self-empowerment opportunities that are innovative and disruptive. Cardano’s overall goals to make the world a better place by allowing individuals to openly transact and self-govern in a decentralized manner through the use of Cardano’s peer-reviewed and environmentally-friendly blockchain technology aligns with the beneficial properties of NFTs,” said EMURGO CEO Ken Kodama.

The CNFT Awards show will be live on YouTube and features special guest appearances from the Cardano community. The project is being supported by IOHK, CNFT.IO, EMURGO, and many more partners that will be revealed in the upcoming weeks.
