[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

Charles Hoskinson is talking regularly with the community through YouTube videos. His messages are inspiring and share the vision and work of Cardano. When I got to see his videos I also got hooked by the message and energy and especially by his life mission to create better systems for all. At my elderly age, I saw many inspiring leaders and Charles is definitely one of them. This was my entry point into blockchain and Cardano.

First I started with creating the hoskintoons.com NFT project, which was also recognized by Charles in one of his videos

and I am looking into using my expertise to promote Cardano in a unique way and also through a Cross Chain Collaboration challenge. United Caricature The idea for this proposal is United Caricature, a weekly caricature (Caricature) that will show the importance of collaboration between chains for the common god of the blockchain industry. This proposal will focus on a timeframe of 12 weeks and will therefore produce 12 caricatures. Subjects could include what is common between the chains and how the various chains could mitigate external threats (misleading information) or support positive legislation. Doing it in a creative way could have a huge impact between chains as well facing the public.

We will participate in a few after townhall sessions in order for the community to help us find subjects in which we can do some caricatures. This will allow us to talk bout actuality but also use the ideas of the community through our Caricatures.

In order to get the best results, we will get the help from Raz and Cole which are two Challenge team members from the Film and Media challenge (Fund 8) and part of Sustainable ADA, they will help us for all the marketing and advertising area of our proposal.

Here are a few examples made for Fund 8, and there is a possibility to check the rest of the work of Shlomo Cohen on : <https://shlomocohen.com/show/CaricaturAda>

[IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

How might we create connections and collaboration between Cardano and other blockchains in the next six months?

Through fun and creative Caricature - one image can bridge many gaps

Why is it important? Interoperability of blockchains and multi-chain awareness guarantees shared success of the cryptoeconomy as a whole.

Creative way to present the importance of cross chain could lead to higher awareness and openmind between blockchain communities

[IMPACT] What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

There are not any major challenges for the creation of the Caricatures.

One key challenge could be to set up the storyline, find key ares we want the Caricatuers to represent and the connecting line between each weekly caricature. This will be mitigated first by the vast experience of the proposers and second by having some community brainstorming sessions at SWARM post town hall. Moreover, by having a similar proposal funded in Fund 8, we have the experience and we learned from it.

Another challenge we are considering is how to be able to generate revenue so the work could continue for a longer period of time. We will evaluate NFT models for it.

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed plan, including timeline and key milestones for delivering your proposal.

The roadmap is straightforward

• Brainstorming session with the community re subjects (week one, and week 5)
• Preparation of list of media channels (week 0-2)
• One Cartoon per week for 12 weeks
• Sharing on a weekly basis with multiple blockchain community media channels
• Add a section of CrossChain collaboration (by Cardano) in our website (by week 1)
• We will evaluate in the process building NFT model for it (we are already collaborating with Cardanotrees https://shlomocohen.com/show/apocalypsea)
• Get the help of the Catalyst community to find ideas of Caricatures (After townhall) - Every 6 weeks

KPIs& deliverables

• A list of media network

• 10 - 20 media & community channels to publish the Cartoons weekly

• Number of viewers is difficult to estimate, but we foresee to pass a million impressions overall

• 100s of sharing on social networks

  [FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed budget breakdown.

• Weekly Cartoon x 12 weeks x USD 500 = USD 6000

• Marketing & PR USD 500 per month x 3 months = USD 1500

• Communication with media, meetups, emails, website = USD 1000 per month x 3 months = USD 3000

Total budget USD 10500

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide details of the people who will work on the project.

Each member of our team has specific tasks, for example Shlomo will be responsible for all the design of the caricaturesRazali and Cole are responsible for the marketing and advertising, Benjamin Is taking care of the administration that needs to be done. This organization helps us to be more efficient and will allow us to participate in the next fund.

• A weekly Cartune will be shared in media

• A final report and ppt will provided to the community
