It takes a lot of power to change the channel on one of the world’s largest billboard to beautiful artwork!

Remote Control tokens (ERC-1155) are the powerful channel changers that creators redeem when submitting their artwork to the contest.

Collectors do not need to hold any Remote Control tokens to vote for their favorite artwork and creator.

For each contest submission, creators will need to redeem seven (7) Remote Control tokens.

There are 3 ways to get Remote Control tokens:

Claim for free + 0.000777 ETH (~$3) protocol fee per Remote Control token
Airdrop from our curators and partner communities. Follow us on X (formerly Twitter) @SuperchiefNFT to learn which partners are providing Remote Control tokens to their community.
Engage with our X posts for a chance to win daily Remote Control token giveaways for you and two of your fellow creators

Artwork can be submitted to the contest using the Creator Profile on the Remote Control site.

Each submission to the contest becomes a limited time open edition on Zora network, available until the end of the contest on Monday, July 22.

The open editions can be claimed for free + 0.000777 ETH (~3) protocol fee.

Every free claim mint counts as one vote towards the creator of the artwork.

Yes! At the top right nav on the Remote Controls site, use the Connect button to get started.

If you don’t have a Web3 Wallet, you can enter your email address and a wallet will be created for you.

When connecting your wallet to the Remote Control site and signing-in, or to claim Remote Control tokens or claim free open editions from creators, you will be asked to switch your wallet network to Zora.

If you need to, you can manually select Zora network from your wallet (ex: MetaMask), usually by clicking the network drop-down and choosing Zora.
