Requirements/Process

1. Fill the Application Form and show us your Voxel creations.

2. Sign our Non-Disclosure Agreement.

3. Read our Voxel Art Style and Technical Guidelines.

4. Take the paid test to show us your voxel art skills.

Selection and Review Criteria

The judges consist of The Sandbox Community Team. Here is what we will be reviewing:

- Range and quality of the artist's work

- Originality and suitability for use of assets in interactive environments

- Artistic imagination

Ethics/Motives

The goal of this fund is to help and train Artists to publish your voxel creations on the blockchain as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and learn more about the benefits from blockchain technology:

- True Ownership

- Inter-operability

- Trading

- Scarcity

- Decentralized Marketplace

What will I be required to submit with my application form?

You will need to provide basic information on your identity and a link to your online voxel portfolio. If you don’t have a portfolio, you can easily set up one on sites like Artstation, Behance, and even Instagram. Alternatively, you can attach some images of your voxel creations to the form.

Is my information kept private when I apply online?

The Sandbox will not release your information without your permission.

How much can I earn per ASSET?

We pay a variable rate based on the size and complexity of the work. Large, high-quality assets without animation pay $60 at most, though there can be exceptions. You also receive all marketplace profits when the items you publish are sold, which can mean significant future profits once the Marketplace is fully launched.

How many assets can I submit?

Unlimited.

Can I sell assets for which I’ve received a grant from the Creator Fund on other marketplaces?

Yes, you retain all rights and ownership of your Content and can sell them on other marketplaces. We will only request a nonexclusive permission to list the content on The Sandbox’s Marketplace.

How many total artists can be given grants under the Creator Fund?

Up to 1,000 artists can be given grants via the Creator Fund.

Do I lose the copyright for any assets for which I receive a grant?

Artists retain all rights and ownership of your Content. We do not claim any ownership rights to your Content.

What are the licensing rights for assets that I upload to The Sandbox?

When you upload Content to The Sandbox Marketplace, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sub-licensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, publicly display, distribute and adapt (so as to better showcase your Content, for example), publicly perform, and translate the Content as needed in response to user drive actions.
