Hi FreeTON community,
We would like to share the AEC AWARDS Report Update for the period of April-August 2021.
Feel free to check it out! Until September 30 you and your friends can still participate in our project via the website https://aec-awards.com/en/
We are waiting for your feedback and comments.
The AEC AWARDS Team.
AEC Awards Report Update
April-August 2021
In June of 2021, Art Erotic Challenge project, made a business decision to change the projects name to AEC AWARDS (ART EXPERIENCE CRYPTO AWARDS) due to the covered erotic themes, where’s participants’ artwork was supposed to reflect on sensuality, aesthetics and beauty of the human body, which is a popular concept among contemporary artists and photographers. The project was rebranded and renamed as AEC AWARDS due to the following reasons:
- Inability to attract traffic from targeted advertising, as the word “EROTIC” is blocked in ads on Facebook, Instagram and Telegram.
- Difficulties in engaging new partners and sponsors due to the word “EROTIC” being present in the project’s name.
- COVID-19 pandemic. Inability to host offline events abroad (Turkey).
- Technical issues with the website caused by high traffic.
- Programming development of an improved registration which greatly simplified the process and allows for the wallet to be opened automatically.
- Mass requests from participants to extend the first stage’s deadline, due to lack of time to complete the project.
More importantly, on April 22, 2021, AEC Awards (previously Art Erotic Challenge) received an approval from Free TON Community to form a partnership with Free TON. According to the terms of the proposed and approved partnership, AEC Awards took on the following responsibilities:
Below is a report on our accomplishments:
- NFT marketplace development and integration
The sponsors of AEC Awards had actively participated in the development and the launch of NIFI Club platform. As the first step in integration of AEC and NIFI, the paintings of the “Founding Fathers” of Free TON created by the artists participating in the AEC Awards project have been tokenized and will be auctioned through NIFI Club platform (https://nifi.club/) this month.
- Not less than 15,000 users delivery of NFT marketplace, MVP version
Up to date, over 51,463 users have registered on aec-awards.com platform as spectators and 1,720 have registered as participants (725 artists, 510 photographers, 224 designers, 261 models).

Additional interesting updates and future plans of AEC Awards
Automated Wallet Set Up
Our tech team has developed a unique plugin that enables automatic creation and activation of wallets in the TON blockchain system. Upon completion of registration, each user automatically receives an activated wallet. Before the voting begins, users will receive crystals to his/her wallet, that they can use to vote for their favourite artist. The wallet can also be used to participate in draws and contests, as well as to purchase FreeTONShop merchandise.
The code of this unique plug-in will be released to public this month and we are completely sure will receive not only applause, but also a quick adoption by the Free TON community
Unique collaboration on Free TON for delivery of total solution to a targeted audience
We are in the process of finalizing a creation of ARTBLOCK DAO, its private SubGov and plan to launch its own Governance Token in late September.

Initial members of the DAO:
-
AEC AWARDS

We plan a broad community announcement of the project within the next two weeks.
Registration process for participants in the AEC Awards project.
Users of the AEC Awards platform are divided into participants and spectators. To become a participant, you need to register on the platform, pay the entrance fee, complete the work according to your nomination and the challenge task, attach the work and description to it in your personal account. Registration of participants in the AEC AWARDS 2021 project ends on September 30, 2021.
Spectator: To become a spectator, you need to register on the platform. Before the start of voting, each viewer will receive Crystals to the wallet whose number is in his personal account. With the help of Crystals, viewers can give preference to the participant they like, participate in lotteries, and also buy the exhibited works of participants on the sites of partners NIFI CLUB https://nifi.club/
and FREE TON SHOP Telegram: Contact @FREETONSHOP_bot
Considering all stated above and completion of Tasks 1, 2 and 3, we kindly request the following amount of TON Crystals:
- NFT Platform development and integration - 100,000 TON Crystals
- 50,000 users x 4 = 200,000 TON Crystals

Next year - AEC AWARDS 2022
After the final awards of the current round are given out to its Winners, we plan to launch a start of 2022 awards, covering a different theme and audience directly thereafter.
We also believe that all future requests for TON Crystals should be based not just for opening a wallet on Free TON, but for real interaction and transactions. Therefore, we propose that any further distribution to us (and in reality to all participants of Free TON) should be based on the following:
- 1,5 TON Crystals for every new participant
- 2,25 TON Crystals for confirmed interaction and transaction by the participant based on staking their Crystals to vote on their favourite artist, participation in Art Lottery, purchase of additional Crystals

Didn’t know you guys teamed up with nifi club. That sounds like a smart move. I guess next is the token to engage artists, bloggers etc around the world. Can be quite powerful if works out. 50,000 users for Free TON sounds cool.
