Announcing the winner of our Endemic mascot contest

Endemic
3 min readApr 11, 2022

We put out a call for Endemic mascots and our exquisite artists answered! The contest was all about finding a perfect character for our platform and Endemiverse, one that is from the mystical planet ENDORA and is a super cute, but tough alien octopus who flaunts his Endemic colours in style.

With more than 40 applied characters (view them all here), our juries Jordan Gray, Leslie Spurlock, Danijel Tomičić, Xenpai/QLU and Hrvoje Zuanić had a tough job of picking the best six finalists. Those then went to the community voting who were undecided between the two designs, so our jury had to make the final decision.

Now, without further hesitation — announcing the mascot winner!

First place: Endy by Milan

With the description “If Marge Simpson and Zoidberg had a child…”, Milan’s Endy won the hearts of our community and juries and won $1.500. The winning Endy will be the main protagonist of the Endemic marketplace & Endemiverse and is heavily featured on collectibles, social media, stickers, comic books, cartoons, games and merchandise and its 3D version already looks so cool.

Second place: Endy by Dyey

Dyey had a completely different approach with this superior-race Endy. For it, he felt a hint of something tribal, rich in culture. A place where authenticity and beauty are often forged. Endy’s race is capable both of technicalities and creativities so it has tribal-ish clothing and a high-tech body that can adapt to whatever he wants.

Other finalists

Kudos to Vice Tomasović, Tin Listeš, Vladimir Davidenko and Monztre for amazing designs. It was a pleasure to see and pick your ideas as finalists for our main character.

Time for rewards

The winning Endy design will get a prize of 1.500 USDT and a rare NFT from Endemic first native collectible series (Endemicles)

Five other finalists will each get 100 USDT and NFT from the same Endemicles series

And that’s not all…

All artist applications (40 of them) will get Endemicles NFT from our native collection that’s coming out really soon!

We want to give a big thanks and a shout-out to all of the artists who participated in this contest — you guys are amazing!
