Eluvio:“Extremely Talented and Under-Recognized” (ETU) Competition at SXSW
Last year, Eluvio's Content Blockchain powered the groundbreaking 'dollyverse ' livestream and multimedia NFT
experience at sxsw . This year, Eluvio's focus will be on unlocking the potential of Web3 media for content creators and publishers attending SXSW.
The Eluvio Content Fabric is a utility blockchain network for owner-controlled storage, distribution, and monetization of video, music, and other digital content at scale. It enables Web3 native media experiences, allowing creators and fans to directly enjoy and monetize shows, films, concerts, digital albums, digital collectibles, interactive and metaverse experiences, and more. Companies, artists and brands whose content blockchain initiatives have been powered by Eluvio include FOX Entertainment, Globo, MGM Studios, Microsoft, SONY Pictures, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, Universal Music Group, WWE, The Masked Singer, Dolly Parton, Black Eyed Peas, and Rita Ora.
At this year's SXSW, Eluvio is partnering with Vibe Stream Network to jointly sponsor the 'ETU'' competition to reward music, video, and interactive digital content creators. Aimed to identify and reward talented rising digital creators with opportunities to directly distribute their work, the winning contest entries will be featured on the 'ETU' digital store sponsored for up to $50,000 of purchases by Eluvio's Top 100 collectors, and will be featured on VSN's new platform, Vibe Stream Interactive Radio (VSIR), powered by Eluvio. All entries will have the option to sell their work on the 'ETU' store.
Vibe Stream Network is a major disruptor of the entertainment industry. They reinvent outdated processes that have historically been a barrier to growth for artists and fans. Using Web3, VSN is introducing new content hubs and monetization opportunities for user-generated content to help creators around the world maintain ownership of their work. To date, VSN has amassed a music catalog including over 2,500 compositions with 100+ talented collaborators.
'We are so excited to engage with creative artists at SXSW about how our Content Blockchain can help them seize control of their content distribution, ownership, multi-party royalties, and more – all while reducing costs and improving efficiency,' said Michelle Munson, CEO and co-founder of Eluvio. 'We are particularly thrilled to be co-sponsoring this new 'ETU' competition with VSN, and to be joined at our exclusive SXSW event by so many visionary partners who are actually 'doing the work' across Web3 for media.'
'VSN sees a more equitable entertainment industry burgeoning from blockchain technology: a world where creators 'Treat their Art like Assets', where fans can be investors rather than just consumers, where brands and businesses streamline licensing deals...a world where content is currency,' said Keith 'TizThaTime' Tisdell, CEO, Vibe Stream Network.
