Decentraland, the user-owned virtual platform, is getting ready for its highly anticipated annual Music Festival, set to take place in November 2023. Following the success of the past three years, the festival aims to present a diverse range of live music events. The main attraction will unfold from November 16 to 18, with this year’s theme being “Rebirth & Regeneration.” The festival aims to provide a space for artists and the virtual community to come together and celebrate in the creative Metaverse.
Artists seeking to participate in this transformative experience have the opportunity to submit their applications to be featured in the festival’s main program. Selected artists will receive various incentives, including a $500 grant, promotion in the festival’s official program, and a performance slot on one of the festival’s five virtual stages. To qualify, artists must provide a pre-recorded performance exclusively created for the Decentraland Music Festival ’23.
In addition to artists, creators have a chance to contribute their talents by submitting proposals for 3D installations, games, experiences, or performance spaces to be integrated into the festival’s digital plaza. Those with selected proposals will receive a $1000 grant, a 2 x 2 plot of LAND in Decentraland’s Music Festival Plaza, and a Decentraland NAME, granting them access to additional virtual land for future installations. All proposed works will be listed in the festival’s official program.
It’s worth noting that there are no entry fees required for these submissions. The deadlines for these opportunities are as follows: the submission deadline is September 30, 2023, selected proposals will be announced on October 6, 2023, and all files must be submitted by October 25, 2023. Preference will be given to proposals that resonate with this year’s theme of “Rebirth & Regeneration.”
