LumArt - AI Art Collective

Feedback summary 👇 🧵 

1/ 
The Vision Resonates
LumArt isn’t just an art contest—it’s a collective movement built around meaning, creativity using AI, and long-term alignment via $LUM.

It feels like a space that values both individual expression and shared growth.

2/ 
Make It Easier to Step In
The on-ramp is unclear.
How do I join?
Can I contribute if I’m not a winner?
What’s the first step?

Suggested fix: a simple "How to Get Involved"  guide.

5/ 
Elevate Newer Artists
While the current mechanics reward quality, there’s concern that newer voices get overlooked unless they win.

Ideas to uplift them:

A monthly or weekly “community artist pick” highlighted from non-winners.
From rotating curators to surface lesser-known talent

Encouraging artists to write a 1–2 line artist statement to enrich submissions.

Behind-the-scenes content or interviews to deepen artist visibility

4/ 
Submission & Minting Flow
People mostly like "mint-only-if-you-win" structure:
BUT we should make ways for artists to stamp the image onchain, for provenance purposes, even if the mint doesn’t open until they win.

Proposed options. To submit, you can either:
1) Create the open edition mint on highlight, creating the contract, with the start date far in the future, and if you win, you can edit and move up the start date. (but, it’s harder to make the 70/30 split on highlight)
2) Create the mint on Foundation (where it’s easy to do the 70/30 split), and schedule the mint to start right after the contest ends. If you win top 3, all good. If you don’t, you can either let it mint anyway, and submit something different in the following weeks, OR you can choose the “self destruct” option foundation provides.
3) OR, you can always just post the image directly into /lumart on farcaster, and if you win, open the mint right after.

3/ 
Ground the Vision in Examples
The mission is big and exciting—but it could benefit from concrete examples:
Show an example winning mint: how many mints, how much vesting $lum they got,
Include visuals and diagrams to help new people "get it" fast.

These additions can be added to the “how to get involved” guide.

@naaate I joined the round but my contribution is not counting. 

is there anything I'm missing?
