MAHI, the world’s first NFT digital art gallery, announced today the launch of an inaugural curation with a call to digital artists and creators specializing in marine wildlife and ocean landscapes.
Interested artists are invited to submit their original works of art on the project’s website mahitoken.org.
- Chosen artists benefit from a virtual gallery showing, promotion, and exposure across social media and other digital platforms.
- 50,000 MAHI tokens also in exchange for an original, custom piece.
Artists may choose to hold tokens as personal investments or sell them after one year.
Let’s talk about the tokens…
MAHI Project is a crypto-backed collection of digital art NFT’s that can be viewed in a public virtual gallery for a small admission. The project uses its own ERC20 token, MAHI, as a currency, enabling the purchase of NFT’s and governance of its protocol.
- The token can be actively traded on the UNISWAP V2 exchange, which gives anyone the ability to invest and support the project.
- 10% of the token supply will be donated to different marine wildlife conservatory agencies.
“We are not creating a corporation, the MAHI project is a community of individuals who care about marine life and ocean conservation,” said Greg Fisher, Community Manager, MAHI. “We believe that art is a special platform to generate awareness while providing a digital gallery for artists and creators to display their work.”
According to Fisher, MAHI is looking for originality and creativity. For this first curation, they are choosing twenty unique pieces.
Submitted works are selected by a committee and unique works representing the following categories are given preference:
- Beauty and majesty of the ocean and/or its marine life
- The impact of rising sea levels and pollution
- People who rely on the ocean for their livelihood
- The efforts of conservationists
- Scientists
- Those fighting to protect the oceans
Additional scoring criteria include the complexity of digital technology and demonstrated professional quality. The artist’s creations must be original and art listed on any other NFT marketplace will not be accepted.
