BASIS
It is no secret that a lot of people in Africa, especially those who are not tech savvy, are approaching blockchain technology with a lot of skeptism. This is partly because people do not understand its roots as it does not appear to hold any water. It also is a new and unknown technology with its own dogma and not part of the mainstream education curriculum. Moreover, it seems complicated, and a lot people tend to avoid complex environments.
The Social Media Chartbuster contest was conceptualized to abet all the efforts involved in alleviating some of the above mentioned challenges facing the development of blockchain technology in Africa. This is mainly by facilitating inclusivity, fostering simplicity and cultivating a sense of ownership among all the different spheres of life represented within the Free TON Africa community.
To be effective, the Chartbuster contest has no room for fictional or abstract content. All content to be created and used for social media contests in the realm of Free TON Africa are factual and relevant to a tangible event, product or application.
Though simple, the Chartbuster contest was conceptualized to operate on an elaborate 3(I) strategy which is: - Introduction, Interaction and Integration.
1st I – Introduction of the Free TON brand.
This was the main theme during the Chartbuster 1 contest.
2nd I – Interaction with the Free TON network.
This is the main theme during this Chartbuster 2 contest.
3rd I – Integration into the Free TON ecosystem.
Integration will be the main theme during Chartbuster 3 contest.
The letter ‘I’ symbolizes the first person view. And the eventual aim is to change the perception of Free TON amongst many Africans from a 3rd person outsider view (that Free TON – that belongs to others) to a 1st person insider view (my Free TON – which I own a piece of).
One of the goals achieved in Chartbuster 1 is based on the 20/80 rule. Out of 100 contestants in the Chartbuster 1 contest, 20 of the most active have self-progressed to regularly interacting with the Free TON network’s meritocratic token distribution ideology and are getting lots of rewards & accolades for their positive efforts.
With this in mind it is imperative that Free TON Africa keeps offering the Chartbuster learning opportunity to the African masses so as to identify lead users, new skills, talents and experiences that will regularly be augmenting the Free TON ecosystem.
GIST OF THE CHARTBUSTER 2 CONTEST
TYPE:
Contest (Renewable)
DURATION:
20th May 2021 – 30th May 2021
DESCRIPTION
Chartbuster 2’s main theme is Interaction with the Free TON network. It is a follow-up of Chartbuster 1’s main theme of Introduction of the Free TON brand to the African masses (See Basis section). (All within the Meritocratic Token Distribution Ideology).
Chartbuster 1 contest had only 1 task – Posting on social media platforms.
Chartbuster 2 contest will have 2 tasks to be performed:
- Task 1 will require contestants to interact with the TON surf wallet and perform some activities that will also include interacting with external Apps through the TON surf wallet, and then answer the questions in the first Google form. These questions will be preparing contestants, towards understanding what is expected of them in Task 2 so as not to disseminate incorrect information.
-
Task 2 will require contestants to interact with a second Google form with links to answers for questions in the first Google form. This task will be a form of revision of the task in Chartbuster 1 and Task 1 in this Chartbuster 2.
The specific assignment will be to spread the correct information through their social media platforms in the best way possible. They will then be requested to paste all the links to posts they have made in this second Google form.
CONTENT/RESOURCES
All the relevant videos, text, image and links, to satisfy the terms and conditions of Task 1 will be posted in the Free TON Africa telegram group at the start of the campaign. Participants will be required to consume the information provided and accomplish Task 1.
For Task 2, the correct links and verified information for participants to review then distribute through social media, will be availed during the course of the campaign so that anyone willing to take part has an equal opportunity to satisfy the terms and conditions required of Task 2.
There will be little or no need to change the content for Task 2. Any person who posts unauthorized material will be deemed to have contravened the rules of the campaign and will attract an automatic disqualification from that particular Task.
MOTIVATION
First, to purely facilitate the acquisition of TON, by rewarding members who are actively interacting and engaging on a regular basis, with the Free TON ecosystem.
Secondly, to break the monotony of blockchain development technical jargon and offer a change of scene where every joined up Free TON Africa member, who is not technically inclined, has an equal chance of contributing to the ecosystem and getting rewarded in TON for just ‘leisurely interacting’ with their own social media platforms.
GOAL/OBJECTIVES/BENEFITS
- For the good of free trade and digital open borders.
- To furnish Free TON Africa members with preliminary ideas on interaction within and without the Free TON network. So that everyone, be they editors, authors, doctors, performing artists, engineers, teachers, hospitality staff, farmers, e.t.c, can positively contribute to the growth of the ecosystem.
- To keep nurturing an emotional attachment to the brand by creating a deeper understanding and familiarity, where members can continue to interrogate and compare information before they disburse it to others through social media, hence expanding awareness and scope of the Free TON ecosystem in Africa.
- To identify new channels, formats, languages and approaches to employ when disseminating information in an ever evolving social media environment.
- To actively engage, excite and inform Africans about the Free TON ecosystem as they quest to become agents of change in the blockchain space, so that from the onset, they can position themselves to fully benefit from events, programs and partnerships as they are being rolled out.
