Art Moments Jakarta announces the winner of NFT Art Prized Moments 2021 today at ISA Art & Design, Wisma BNI 46 Jakarta. This national-scale competition is a part of Art Moments Jakarta Online 2 2021, which has been ongoing from

November 22th until December 21st. AMJO2 can be accessed on www.artmomentsjakarta.com.

Art Moments Jakarta Online 2 is back with a series of online and offline activities. With the increasing number of creators of Non-Fungible Token (NFT), Art Moments Jakarta organized the first-ever nationwide NFT Art competition in South East Asia entitled NFT Art Prized Moments 2021.

The competition was open to all creators and/or artists from October 30th to November 30th, 2021 using the Tezos Blockchain platform as it is environmentally friendly. The theme for this year’s competition is “Time”.

The Blockchain technology industry has developed quite rapidly, and NFT Art is currently attracting the world’s attention and becoming the answer for digital artists.

NFT can be defined as a token that proves a legal ownership for digital assets, such as audio, video, illustrations, animations, and graphics.

NFTs have unique, original, and rare characteristics, so they cannot be exchanged because they are stored in digital ledgers. This makes digital artwork become one of the new types of assets, which has also become a trend in the global industry.

The increasing number of NFT communities in cyberspace, as well as various reports about NFT works that are highly appreciated by all levels of society, makes NFT Art Prized Moments 2021 a valuable momentum for artists who are interested in NFT artwork.

NFT Art Prized Moments 2021 is fully supported by eco-friendly Tezos Blockchain.

Mr. David Tng, as Head of Growth of TZ APAC stated:

“We are proud to be a forum and participate in the 2021 NFT Art Prized Moments, as we know that currently, NFT art is attracting attention because digital works can be turned into an asset with legal ownership.”
