What is the Agora Awards platform?<\/b><\/h2>\n
Since its launch in 2016, Agora Awards has launched a range of projects to bring artists and art investors together. Originally, it started as an online platform where users could upload their creations such as photographs, videos, and audio. Then, they could participate in worldwide awards, where the best creations are awarded based on votes. Recently, the platform has developed several projects focusing on the NFT market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Besides, Agora has also partnered with the blockchain platform, Zilliqa to build the Agora Awards Metaverse. Zilliqa will also sponsor Agora\u2019s World NFT Festival as well as create its token. Furthermore, Agora has partnered with the leading Ethereum software company, ConsenSys, to support the launch of Agora Award\u2019s own NFT marketplace. In addition, in collaboration with QuiverTree Media, Agora Awards\u2019 top content will be displayed in aeroplanes.<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cWe have more than 14 million creations uploaded to the Agora Awards platform, including the works of over 13,000 finalists and winners of the awards,\u201d said Octavi Royo, the platform\u2019s CEO and founder. \u201c\u2026<\/span>Our mission is to empower talent and grant access to that talent to anyone anywhere in the world<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
Recently, Agora launched an NFT collection, \u201c<\/span>We, the Women<\/span>\u201d, to celebrate\u00a0 International Women\u2019s Day. The NFT collection, featuring 21 photos, sold out to raise\u00a0 $80,000. The firm also physically exposed the drop at the Dubai Expo2020 and virtually at Meetaverse.org.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
The latest investment will further support the development of Agora\u2019s marketplace and other projects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
