Community Programs

Call for Artists: Through a massive campaign that ran around the time of ETHDenver, Reef took the initiative to allow the creative heads in our community an opportunity to be featured on different upcoming NFT marketplaces on Reef. The campaign concluded successfully in March with countless applications, and we received some of the finest entries. Narrowing down this list was a challenge for the team, but we did it, and the final selection for Call for Artists went live early in May.
