Please describe your proposed solution.
When I got to see Charles videos I also got hooked by the message and energy and especially by his life mission to create better systems for all. At my elderly age, I saw many inspiring leaders and Charles is definitely one of them. This was my entry point into blockchain and Cardano. When I started to interact with the Catalyst community I found a place where my experience and creativity could support the ecosystem growth.
First I started with creating the hoskintoons.com NFT project, which was also recognized by Charles in one of his videos
And I am looking into using my expertise to promote Cardano in a unique way and also through educating African communities. The idea through this proposal is to design a weekly caricature that has to promote Cardano in order for the African community in order to make them aware of how amazing Cardano is and how Catalyst is an amazing tool with a great community. This proposal will focus on a timeframe of 12 weeks and will therefore produce 12 caricatures.
For this proposal, we will get the help of WADA (<https://www.wada.org/>) who are promoting Catalyst to the African community and that will help us to get subjects to do the caricatures with.
We can also participate in a few after townhall sessions in order for the community to help us find subjects in which we can do some caricatures. This will allow us to talk bout actuality but also use the ideas of the community through our Caricatures.
In order to get the best results, we will get the help from Raz and Cole which are two Challenge team members from the Film and Media challenge (Fund 8) and part of Sustainable ADA, they will help us for all the marketing and advertising area of our proposal.
Here are a few examples made for Fund 8, and there is a possibility to check the rest of the work of Shlomo Cohen on : <https://shlomocohen.com/show/CaricaturAda>
Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.
This proposal has an educational purpose for the African community, this proposal aims to increase the visibility and the use of Cardano and Catalyst with these caricatures in an amusing way, which is exactly what the challenge aims for.
We need to look at the fundamentals that are preventing Africa from being a Cardano adoption leader, rather than a perpetual follower.
We aim that the African community participates to Catalyst and to its community.
What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?
There are not any major challenges for the creation of the Caricatures.
One key challenge could be to set up the storyline, find key ares we want the Caricatuers to represent and the connecting line between each weekly caricature. This will be mitigated first by the vast experience of the proposers and second by having some community brainstorming sessions at SWARM post town hall. Moreover, by having a similar proposal funded in Fund 8, we have the experience and we learned from it.
Another challenge we are considering is how to be able to generate revenue so the work could continue for a longer period of time. We will evaluate NFT models for it.
