Metaverse meets Metaverse: Star Atlas + The Sandbox Community Contest

A revolutionary contest to kick off metaverse interoperability offers you a chance to win a fleet of spaceship NFTs and SAND.

Those familiar with Star Atlas know that living on the frontier of tomorrow is all about space exploration, collaboration and adventure. Even as we continue to build out our metaverse, we’re constantly on the hunt for people and creative communities who share our values.

That’s why we’re thrilled to announce a new partnership with our friends at The Sandbox!

The Sandbox is a wildly popular community-driven platform where creators can monetize voxel assets and gaming experiences on the Ethereum blockchain. Read more about The Sandbox below.

The Contest

Hold on to your voxelized space helmets! This cross metaverse space-themed contest — the first of its kind — will give you a chance to use your creativity to make your mark on our shared history and win valuable prizes.

Your Mission

Imagine a trip to a territory controlled by one of the three main Star Atlas factions — MUD, ONI or USTUR — and create your very own NPC (non-player character) of a being you would meet there. Use the free VoxEdit software, the NFT creator for The Sandbox, to bring your character to life.

While exploring the galaxy, you also get inspired by the cosmic marvels to fill the void with sound and creativity and design an immersive and entertaining headpiece for the NPC with VoxEdit software. Get inspired by the astral beats from BLOND:ISH, the metaverse artist and creator who already lives and creates on both Star Atlas and The Sandbox ecosystems.

The Rewards

We’re celebrating this groundbreaking partnership by offering major prizes from not one — but two — metaverse ecosystems!

Winners will split 50,000 SAND and each receive Star Atlas spaceships as listed below (the value of SAND and each ship is a rough estimate and subject to change on the open market).

• 1st place: 20,000 SAND and an Opal Bitboat — a total of ~$50,000 USD*
• 2nd place: 15,000 SAND and 2x Calico ATS Enforcer + a Calico Medtech — a total of ~$35,000 USD*
• 3rd place: 8,000 SAND and an Ogrika Mik, a Busan Thrill of Life and a Calico Medtech — a total of ~$18,500 USD*
• 4th to 10th place: each receive 1,000 SAND and a Busan Trill of Life — a total of ~$3,000 USD* (Approximate value at May 2, 2022 rates.)

For the headpiece design contest, the entry that can best immerse and entertain a space traveler will be selected by BLOND:ISH, and receive two lustrous Star Atlas spaceships:

an Ogrika Mik and a Busan Thrill of Life (valued at roughly $1,600)

While we won’t know the final results for a number of weeks, we do know one thing: eleven adventurers who choose to enter this contest will leave it at the end by blasting off in their new ships. And they’ll all be in a very happy mood.
