This is the first contest to be run by NDIGI.WORLD. They are looking forward to running many regular contests for artists across different categories and challenges.
NDIGI is creating a community able to fund and support the securing of land in metaverses for creating a way to promote indigenous communities. With the view of working towards launching their own NDIGI metaverse for indigenous communities to participate in and hold their own digital lands where they can really provide access to their culture through creating NFTs of their art, history, genealogy, and culture.
