Ape Deck Delights
Bicycle Cards put out a casting call for all Bored Apes to submit an APE-lication to be featured on their decks.
🔙 Back It Up
Bicycle Cards bought Bored Ape #1227 for 103 ETH back in October 2022. The purchase appears to have been facilitated by MoonPay, which bought the Ape in June 2022.
And then yesterday, the @bicyclecards account's profile picture was changed to Bored Ape #1227, with a tweet that said, "...probably nothing..."
❗Why It Matters
Bicycle Cards has decided to engage with the Bored Ape community in an interesting way, requesting that Apes enter an open casting call so that Bicycle can find the perfect apes to feature.
Notably, every Ape that applies will receive a 1 of 1 Joker NFT with their own Ape, irrespective of whether or not they are selected to be included in the special card decks.
The Deets
- The casting period begins today, March 15, 2023, and lasts until April 19, 2023, at 1 p.m. ET.
- All verified BAYC holders with their own OpenSea accounts are eligible.
- Every Ape that submits an APE-lication will receive a unique 1 of 1 Joker NFT from Bicycle featuring their own Bored Ape.
- Apes will be selected by the Bicycle team throughout the casting period, and owners will be notified on April 19 (National 🍌 Day).
- The selected group of Apes will receive a special package that includes credit for a free, limited edition Bicycle 1227 Community Collab Deck.
🎬 Take Action
Interested Apes will need to fill out the form on the Calling All Apes site. Required information includes:
- Wallet address and Etherscan transaction hash (a blockchain transaction record that provides proof of ownership)
- OpenSea/Twitter usernames and OpenSea profile link
- Ape image link URL
- First name or nickname (last name is optional)
- Email address and phone number
🖼️ The Big Picture
This is another opportunity for BAYC holders to utilize the permissive rights associated with their NFTs and, in turn, lend out the likeness to other entities that want to create Ape-centric artwork and products.
