Cea Foundation introduces new NFTs

Welcome to Hoken Tech

The awards ceremony for the finalist artists of the “Michele Cea” prize, promoted by the Fondazione Cea ETS, has just concluded, recognizing artworks that left a mark on both the jury and the audience present at the event.

This year, for the second consecutive year, the Cea Foundation invited artists to participate in the creation of NFTs (non fungible tokens) for their works, allowing them to digitize and tokenize them into digital assets thanks to a partnership with the startup Hoken Tech.

Now in its ninth edition, this prize aims to promote and concretely support artists and art by providing tangible assistance, both economically and in terms of national and international visibility.

As every year, the prizes are substantial: in addition to the beautiful trophy, the third-place winner received €500, the second-place winner €1000, and this year’s winner took home €3500.

As mentioned, thanks to the technical collaboration between the Foundation and Hoken Tech, this year saw numerous artists interested in tokenizing their works into NFTs.

The new NFTs added to the Cea Foundation collection are:

These fantastic NFTs are created on the EOS blockchain, which since 2023 has become “climate-positive,” with over 80% of the energy used coming from renewable sources. These unique digital NFT works can be purchased directly on the AtomicHub marketplace.

Thanks to initiatives promoted by the Cea Foundation and Hoken Tech, which simplifies the use of blockchain technology, art has received and will continue to receive new vitality.

This serves both as a communication and marketing channel and as an economic channel, allowing artists to gain recognition and sell their works worldwide in an immediate and transparent manner.

We should also acknowledge the support of the entire EOS community — the artists, developers, and especially the EOS Network Foundation — which expands and improves this blockchain, making it one of the safest and fastest in the world.
