NFT as a tribute to the greatest Hollywood artists
The platform partnered with the industry's most successful artists to create unique and original NFTs, honoring Hollywood's biggest stars, commemorating their ability to inspire others to show what's possible. One of the NFTs pays special tribute to Chadwick Boseman, an actor world-famous for his leading role in Black Panther, but who died at the age of 43 due to colon cancer.
As the platform indicates, each NFT authenticates a digital work of art that will be auctioned on the Rarible marketplace. The funds and proceeds from the Boseman tribute NFT will go to the Colon Cancer Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to colon cancer awareness, prevention, detection and research, to promote a world free of this disease.
Donations from the funds raised through the token auction will help the organization continue to raise awareness about the disease and support its goal of donating 10.000 colorectal cancer screening tests to several underserved and uninsured communities this year.
The remaining NFTs, which will also be auctioned on the Rarible platform, will benefit a nonprofit of the nominee’s choice.
NFT, the focus of attention
Next Sunday, NFTs will open the doors to a new application of their qualities and characteristics. The nominees who receive the digital works of art will be able to financially benefit a humanitarian organization; in addition, the artists who created the works of art will earn 10% of each sale of their work, a mechanism that is controlled by smart contracts and that allows for greater equity within the creative industry.
NominEth is a project created in partnership with Rarible, AdVenture Media, Taillard Capital, and the investment and metaverse company Metaversal, to bring NFTs to the Academy Awards and the multi-billion dollar film industry.
