Winner pickedDaily 1 - bounty 1409

Make one piece of media for ZAOstock

Pot $14.50 - 6 entries

Make one piece of media using the ZAOstock brand kit. That is the whole ask. A poster, a clip, a story, a meme, a flyer, a 15-second pitch to camera - whatever you want. Post it publicly, drop the link here. Best one wins the pot, and the pot grows as others chip in. ZAOstock is a free music festival on Saturday October 3, 2026, in Ellsworth, Maine. Franklin Street closes to traffic and eight independent acts play back to back on the parklet stage from noon to six. Free, all ages, rain or shine. Thirteen days out, and this closes tomorrow afternoon. Low bar on purpose - day one is not where we find the perfect asset, it is where we find out who turns up. Twenty minutes is enough. WHY THIS ROUND EXISTS Because a free festival on one street in a small city lives or dies on whether anyone hears about it, and we would rather pay people who are good at that than shout louder ourselves. Everything you need is at https://zaostock.com - go and read it before you make anything. THE BAR (short, on purpose) 1. Use the ZAOstock brand kit. It is linked below, it is CC-BY, there is nothing to ask permission for. 2. Post it publicly and submit the live URL here. If it is not claimed on this page, it is not entered. 3. Put ZAOstock and Saturday October 3 somewhere a reader can see them. 4. AUDIO: if there is audio, use original or one clear instrumental that does not compete with speech. Library music over dialog is a floor fail. Tagging @bettercallzaal and cross-posting in /poidh helps and is not required today. THE RUBRIC (more boxes ticked, more weight) Reach + It went where people who could actually attend will see it - Ellsworth, Bangor, Downeast, Maine groups + A physical placement photographed as proof beats a post nobody saw + Someone who is not in this bounty shared it Craft + Looks finished, not like a draft + Vertical or square for mobile + Captions if there is speech + Date and place readable in three seconds, without clicking Substance + Specific about the day rather than "come to a festival" + Names an act from the lineup + Honest about what it is: small, free, outdoors, one street THE ASSET KIT (use any of this, CC-BY) Everything in one download: https://zaostock.com/brand/zaostock-brand-kit.zip The brand page, each file separately: https://zaostock.com/brand The moose, primary mark: https://zaostock.com/brand/logos/zaostock26_moose.png Poster reference: https://zaostock.com/brand/posters/moose-cracked-cement-red-1024.png The lineup, all eight acts: https://zaostock.com/artists The moose mark is by attabotty. Keep the ZAOstock name visible in your final piece. THE REWARD Winner takes the whole pot. This is an OPEN bounty, so the pot is whatever this page says it is right now, and it grows in real time as others contribute. Read the number at the top of this page, not a number in this text. Every submitter earns $ZABAL automatically through the POIDH Submitters leaderboard on Empire Builder, and the drop scales with how many BCZ rounds you have entered in total. Track it live: https://www.empirebuilder.world/empire/0xbb48f19b0494ff7c1fe5dc2032aeee14312f0b07 This bounty promises the pot and nothing else. We might run the best entries on ZAOstock's own channels and we would like to, but it is not written here as a commitment - this programme has a record of making publication promises it did not keep, and you can read that record at https://poidhz.com/about HOW THE WINNER IS PICKED Live on stream at 5pm Eastern, the same day it closes. Zaal picks it out loud with the entries on screen. Discord is where it happens and where you can argue for your own entry: https://discord.thezao.com This is day one of thirteen, one bounty a day until ZAOstock itself. Same shape every day: opens, closes at 4pm Eastern, decided live at 5pm. DEADLINE Submissions close 4:00pm Eastern, Monday September 21, 2026. Winner picked live on stream at 5:00pm Eastern the same day. ZAOstock is Saturday October 3. Promo that lands after it is worth nothing, which is why these close fast.

Zaostock.

https://farcaster.xyz/coolhat/0x74c18de6

Notes: Fact-complete, off-brand on the mark, and late.

Every fact plus all eight names, and it still holds together at square. That much type at 1:1 is genuinely hard.

The moose is redrawn. Yours is a good drawing and it is not the mark that is on the site, the posters and the shirts. Dropping the kit file in would have made this usable as it stands.

It came in after the close. Filed after 4pm, so it could not be judged. That is the whole reason, not the work.

Zaostock: the unexpected invitation

https://farcaster.xyz/uniquebeing404/0xa79af442

Notes: The right idea, arriving late and silent.

You shot it on a real street with real flyers. Eleven entries in across two rounds and you are still the only person who has made something physical.

Every fact is in the caption and none on screen. Three seconds holding ZAOstock, Saturday October 3, Ellsworth Maine would have fixed it. A clip gets reposted without its caption and then it says nothing.

It landed after the close. 59 minutes past 4pm, which is the only reason it could not be judged. Nothing about the piece was the problem.

You claimed a screenshot, not the video. So the thing you actually made is a click away from the bounty page instead of on it.

I made a design story

https://x.com/pascaline7933/status/2102124405312606343

Notes: Striking, and not usable as it stands.

The composition pulls the eye straight down the page and lands on the moose, and you turned it around fast.

The band photos are people who do not exist. The Crown Vics, OPEN X, Grass Rug and Acadia Rising are real people who will be standing on that street. We cannot put another face under their name. Their names set in the kit type would have made this runnable.

No date and no place on it. Somebody can see this and still not know when to turn up or where. Those two facts are the difference between striking and usable.

The moose is redrawn. The mark in the kit is the one on the site, the posters and the shirts. A different moose, even a good one, reads as a different festival.

Notes: The art clears the bar. The handover did not.

The artwork carries every fact on its own. Date, year, noon to six, free, eight acts, Franklin Street Parklet, Ellsworth Maine, on the real moose.

Upload the file, not a screenshot of your post. What we are holding is a photo of a phone screen with the app chrome and the battery icon in it. The artwork clears the bar on its own; only the handover did not.

Pick one and stand behind it. You sent several because you were not sure which was wanted, which is a good instinct. Next time send the one you would defend, and say why in the claim.

ZAOstock Oct 3 flyer, Franklin St Parklet, Ellsworth

https://x.com/safwaan_uddin/status/2102077428260802818?s=20

Notes: Everything is on it. Design for the crop next time.

You went and got the running order and what each act plays, and you credited attabotty and Candy without being asked.

Design for the crop. It is 9:16, and a feed crops that from the centre. Your bottom band went first and zaostock.com went with it. Anything that has to survive being seen belongs out of the bottom fifth.

It is a programme, not an invitation. Everything a person needs is on it, which is why it scored where it did. What it does not have is a reason to come. One line of why beats one more fact.
