 There's no rabbit hole more exciting than the rainbow charged wonderland of Australia's first NFT Fest! 

"Do you want to run a little NFT event?"

About a month ago when Steve Vallas, Chief Executive Officer at Blockchain Australia, caught up with Richelle Cox and Greg Oakford, they planted the seed that would grow to become Australia's first-ever NFT Festival. 

Streaming live on Thursday 30 September NFT Fest is a free open community virtual event. Registrations are OPEN at nftfest.com.au. It runs all day from 10:00 AM - 7:00 PM so pop in and pop out as you need but make the time to attend. 

NFT Fest Co-founder Richelle Cox (Left) says she has had fun with the creative design and can't wait to bring the NFT community together.

"What a line-up! I am so excited and proud of NFT Fest Aus and what we have accomplished so far. What started out as a little idea between myself, Greg Oakford (Centre) and Steve Vallas (Right) and turned into something I couldn't imagine", she said.

What’s the NFT Story?

NFT’S are the hottest topic in blockchain. Ape into the buzz around the impact of NFT tech on artists, musicians & athletes.

NFT Fest brings together those building, incubating and investing time and money into the sector. Unlocking opportunity. Minting value. Creating assets, rights and royalties.

So what IS an NFT?

An NFT, a non-fungible token, operates as a digital signature, a unit of data stored on a blockchain that certifies a digital asset as unique and not interchangeable.

An NFT can represent digital art, in-game items, and memes such as the 'Side-Eyeing Chloe Clem' which recently sold for over AUS$100,000.

As part of NFT Fest there is an NFT art giveaway, painting #10 of 50 titled "Premonition" by @SeduCeNFT from their Rare 50 Dreams Collection, which features 50 one-of-a-kind NFT pieces representing different types of dreams.
