Purplish Korvettish Cruising to the Car Art Contest is available as an NFT by Joe Chiappetta on zeroone. This muscle car painting was created to celebrate and announce the launch of a new ArtVndngMchn car drawing contest that brings together the communities of zeroone, Avalanche, and Hive.
Draw Cars for Crypto
ArtVndngMchn is a Chiappetta family label used when we promote fellow artists. If your work attracts our deepest appreciation, we are honored to include you (metaphorically) in our art vending machine.
My wife and I are delighted to share the following artist opportunity: ArtVndngMchn Garage presents a Car Drawing Contest! As art patrons, we're looking for all who have an interest in creating cool car artworks. We will buy 1 of 1 original handmade drawings of cars as NFTs at $25 USD each in AVAX on the zeroone marketplace. Up to 20 winners will be selected.
When: September 20th through October 20th
Awards:
- 20 Winners' Circle Prizes of $25
- 1 Grand Prize Winner receives the above plus 200 Hive tokens.
Parameters:
- Drawings, paintings, comics, or sketches of cars in color or black and white.
- In zeroone description field, must add #avmgarage
- In description field, also write at least one sentence about the car you created.
- Must be hand-drawn.
- No AI used.
- Must price the NFT at $25 USD in AVAX at the time of minting.
- Must be an edition of only 1 (not tokenized anywhere else).
- Must be family-friendly.
- Must be non-creepy.
- Completed this year (2025).
Artwork likely to be selected includes your PERSONAL take on muscle cars, classic cars, imaginary cars, or futuristic cars.
Caution: If drawing a real car completely and accurately, since many brands (like Corvette) are trademarked or protected by intellectual property rights, it would be prudent to change the name and some of the design enough so that your new creation does not instigate legal conflict since these are not merely drawings of cars, but also tradeable financial instruments (NFTs) on an immutable blockchain. For more info, research fair use and parody cases.
zeroone Structure: For those new to zeroone, for every 5 NFTs minted, you can only sell 2 of them. Their model is partly an NFT sharing site. When you mint an NFT there for the community to collect for free, that earns you the right to collect 10 NFTs. So don't think the very first few artworks you release on the platform can be sold. Also once you release a few NFTs there and unlock the pricing feature for new NFTs, the price can only be added in the process of publishing the NFT, not later. So if you want to enter this car drawing contest, you have to price the NFT at the time of publishing, but only after a few days where you have released other NFT drawings through zeroone.
Grand Prize Winner: One selected Hive user who follows the above parameters AND also blogs about their entry on Hive will--in addition to the winners' circle prize--also receive 200 Hive tokens. For grand prize eligibility, you must reply to this post with link to your Hive post. For those new to Hive, you can get a free Hive account using the Ecency blogging app.
Happy car crafting!
Joe and Denise Chiappetta
