More Real than Reality
MASK3D is the blending of traditional fine art with all the benefits of the Web3 revolution. NFTs are now fully integrated into the art world and the natural next step in the evolution of the status quo. They provide the needed act of flawlessly documenting the authenticity and provenance, immediate fulfillment, perpetual royalties on all future sales of the work and access to a massive marketplace of buyers experiencing explosive growth (over 450% increase in the number of unique NFT buyers between 2020 and 2021).
The art may be virtual, but the opportunity is VERY real. More Real Than Reality elevates traditional and contemporary fine art into Web3 and the Metaverse through our jurying, curating and collaborative process with leading fine artists, curators, top collectors and respected art critics. Put simply, you create, and we handle the rest. This includes minting NFTs, marketing the launch, handling sales, paying commissions, fulfilling orders, and onboarding your fine art into Jordi Molla's Mask World representing over $1.8 million in art sales in 2022, and OpenSea, the largest and the most important NFT Marketplace who process $90m in monthly sales. In fact, the global NFT marketplace as a whole generated approximately $41 BILLION in 2021!
About the Event
Announcing a competition for the creation of Digital Art Pack NFTs - a new way to buy, sell and trade fine art on the blockchain. Each Art Pack NFT will include the work of several artists. Master digital designers at Krew Studio will use their skills to design a NFT pack of artwork derived from the selected artists’ work which will be offered for sale on Mask World.
The competition will make fine art accessible not only in the real world to collectors but also to Web 3 enthusiasts and NFT collectors. The Digital Art packs will focus on both onboarding artists onto the blockchain as well as making community members and participants bigger collectors as well as more knowledgeable on the arts.

How We Jury
Each submission is juried based upon a body of work, the merit of the work and is judged against the same criteria regardless of medium, style, subject matter or who created it.
Our jurors will consider artistic vision, skill, craftsmanship, technique, beauty, uniqueness and overall level of competence, including skill of presentation of the artwork. Considerations might include the originality and the inimitable style of the work, consistency across the body of work, and evidence of formal considerations such as line, shape, form, color, composition and design.
Our Jurors will be looking for a cohesive body of work. This might explore one approach, concept, idea, topic, subject matter, theme, or philosophy that demonstrates conceptual strength and generates multi-layered meanings.
