Digital Art / Web3 technology / Resource Mobilization Innovation

Web 3 technology (blockchain, Distributed Ledger Technology) enables the creation of uniquely identifiable digital assets (Non-Fungible Tokens / NFTs) based on creative assets (images, videos et al.). IAAI GloCha has developed in the context of the Action for Climate Empowerment Project ACE_AT the DigitalArt4Climate programme as a creative economy and climate philanthropy framework to harness the potentials of Web3 /NFT technology to mobilize resources for youth and local communities focused climate action empowerment

IAAI GloCha will work with those GloCha Music and Art Contest 2024 participating artists and award partners, who are interested to develop with us Web3 technology based resource mobilization programs, but this will not be a prerequisite for participation in the GloCha Music and Art Contest 2024.
