Zingtober event and achievements!

Holo everyone!

After an amazing suggestion by one of our community artists that we may have forgotten about had it not been mentioned, we've decided to host an Inktober contest for Holozing!

We will be inviting a few judges that aren't participating to help run the contest and decide on winners, then once a winner is chosen, they'll get to draw the official soulbound Zingtober achievement that will be given out to participants based on activities!

First off, to give you an idea of how this will work, there will be 4 unique achievements you can obtain. You can only obtain one and they'll be weighted differently (examples below).

5k run - you participated with a unique ink drawing at least once a week or 4 times during the event (weight 10)
Half-marathon - you participated with a unique ink drawing once every day or 15 times during the event (weight 50)
Marathon - you participated with a unique ink drawing every day for 31 days during the event (weight 120)
Marathon Master - you participated with a unique ink drawing every day for 31 days during the event and you followed the official Inktober Prompt list while keeping it related to Holozing (weight 300)

*precise weights are to be decided

The official 2024 inctober prompt list:

Prizes

We'll be giving away 1000 Hive in prizes to the top 3 artists participating in Zingtober!

Distributed as follows:

#1 500 Hive
#2 325 Hive
#3 175 Hive

We will also be curating through upvotes most entries of participants putting in effort and then after the event allowing participants to claim the achievement for passive zing collection rewards tied to the soulbound NFT! (will work similar to the advent calendar achievement)

This means that claiming a Zingtober achievement will get you claimable Zing for a long time forward! This is however prone to be diluted with other collection rewards over time.

The winner of the Zingtober contest will also get the chance to draw their version of the achievement that'll be distributed to all participants and future ones. We will however make sure it's an acceptable entry and offer a payment of $100 in Hive for it. You will be allowed to include your signature in the artwork that'll be included in the achievement if you want!

How to participate

Add [Zingtober] to the title of your entry posts
All submissions must be related to our project but as it's quite wide you're free to be creative
Only one color-scheme per entry, we don't want to restrict it to just being black & white but mixing more than one color would go against the event and won't be considered an entry
Try and post in the Holozing community, but include #zingtober hashtag in your entries in case you forget/are new to Hive so we can find them
If you're also following the official Inktober prompt list, include the name of the day in the title
Try and post them within 48h of that day's prompt or your entry of that day, i.e. don't try to rush 3 different entries in 1 day because you didn't post anything in 3 days
no plagiarism and AI assistance allowed, source inspiration/reference if you're using any

Title example:

if following the official inktober prompt list:
[Zingtober] Backpack

if not following the official inktober prompt list:
[Zingtober] Anything

We're looking for judges

If you know you won't be able to participate in this event, please let us know if you have the time to curate and judge the entries. We'll be setting aside some rewards for judges as well as posting some compilations of the best entries leading up to the end of the event. Contact us here or on our Discord.

Resources:

There's resources of Holozing creatures and healers in our discord channel #resources and more will be made available on our website along with previous created fanart we've selected to be displayed there under the fanart tab

Holozing is an RPG game being built where the story takes place a couple decades in the future, if you have any questions about your entry ideas, feel free to ask them in our official post (here) or on Discord.

We may edit this post to add more info or prizes, but we won't lower the number of prizes from the original post.

Let us know what you think and share this post around to invite as many amazing artists to this event as possible!
