Title: [REFERENCE][BCA22 prize] Open Mic Forum - fine art print BCA22 special edition
Post by: Cyrus on February 17, 2023, 02:12:50 PM
First of all, congratulations to the winners of the Bitcointalk Community Awards 2022 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5437673). The event already reached it's 3rd edition. We'd also like to thank icopress for organizing the event and everyone else that sponsored the event by donating their time, knowledge, money or a combination of them.
And of course, thank you to everyone that helped make this place what it is today, with it's ups and downs and everything in between. It literally wouldn't be the same without you!

As some of you might know, Cryptios pledged to sponsor the event with a physical prize consisting in a special edition of the Open Mic Forum artwork. The original piece was commissioned by us from likehiro (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=65269) of Hard Fork Studio, which you might remember from his awesome entry in the 10th anniversary art contest (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5193860.msg53064307#msg53064307).

This thread serves as a reference and a way to present the print before contacting the winners to ask if they want to claim this prize. Thank you Fillippone for letting us showcase your print here.

The Bitcointalk forum, as Bitcoin itself, is a very open place where each of us has a voice. the Open Mic Forum is a visual representation example of that statement.
This edition is a limited run of at most 12 prints, one for each category of the BCA22 (a digital high res file is available if for privacy or whatever reason you decline the physical prize, it's fine, we understand!)


Details

Giclée fine art print on Hahnemuehle PhotoRag Bright White, 310 gsm.
Size: 60cm/24'' wide, unframed.
Due to the cost of these prints, we will print them based on confirmation from the winners.


This item is not for sale, it is a 1 of 1 print for the winners of Bitcointalk Community Awards 2022 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5437673). Another edition of this artwork will be available for purchase later + a surprize item.

Congrats to all winners and special thanks to the organizer, we hope that all winners could enjoy physical prices but we understand regarding privacy and so on. Also thanks to likehero (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=65269) for this beautiful design, hope you guys and miss will like it!.

We were very much pleased to see the how many people liked the Bitcoin Sunrise stamp display (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5431155.0) we are sorry that we didn't make more then 12 pieces.

So for that we are glad to present the original Open Mic Forum Giclee fine art print that we maybe put on sale in a limited editon.

Not sure if Event of the Year qualifies, but would be honored to have one of these.

a very nice idea you have with the bca22 fine print and gives us the opportunity to also secure this artwork.
some questions i still have and that is, from which region is the artwork sent and would there be the possibility to order directly also a matching frame (i know, it is offered here an unframed version but you can ask ;)) and the whole fine art print then framed to send?

Thank you for the very generous offer! Every year I am disappointed that I must decline the physical prizes due to my long held stance on privacy.

Not sure if Event of the Year qualifies, but would be honored to have one of these.
Can I donate the cost of printing/shipping my print to making one for ChiBitCTy instead?

Have you ever considered using a forwarding service to receive your packages? Then, AFAIK, your address and name aren't leaked to anyone but the company that will receive it and (re-)ship it to you.

All the winners should have been contacted by now, thanks for confirming @fillippone, @GazetaBitcoin and @Royse777!

Yes, it does! Would love create and send you the Event of the Year print.
I don't think anybody would claim Fail of the Year print, but this is  Bitcointalk after all :D

It's sent from the EU. Framing is possible and we've worked with with a great framing service in the past. This of course will increase the shipping cost.

We're creating these on a confirmation basis, so if someone refuses (which is totally understandable!), there is no added cost to us. But we could consider that you donated yours to ChiBitCTy if it makes you happy :D

Received my art prints yesterday. They are really nice!  The poster/paper used is high quality as well as the print itself.  If I'm reading this correctly likehiro created them?   Great job on them.  Again, thank you Cyrus, it's much appreciated! 

These prints are fresh out of the tube and therefore need to be laid out/pressed to be able to take a good photo, so I did the best I could for the time being.  Once they are flattened out and I can take better photos I will also share those here. 

Thanks again to all who were involved with this.

Glad you like them! Would love to see pictures from everyone, especially if you decide to frame it.
As a general advice, if you decide to store it instead I recommend putting it back in the tube and avoid folding it as it will create creases.

Well done, you made me re-read it a few times again to check if it's in any way confusing, edited to make sure :D
This was our sponsor prize for the winners of BCA22, it's a custom 1 of 1 for each winner that wanted to claim it.



And yes, we will soon announce a general edition of the print + a surprize item! bolded for emphasis  :D

Finally got my print!

It's gorgeous and very high quality. I was very surprised when I opened it. :)

I'll try to put it on a frame.
