Make the best ad for ZABAL Gamez. Any format. Best one wins 0.0125 ETH on Base and we run it.

ZABAL Gamez is The ZAO's 3-month Build-A-Thon. June workshops, July open build month, August Finals. Free to join. Anyone welcome. Three tracks - artist, builder, creator - so anyone can step in. The 100+ member ZAO community is your real audience. Build for a real community, not a weekend you forget. This is a build event, not a video-game contest.

We need ads. Real ones we will run. Best submission gets paid AND becomes our pinned promo across @bettercallzaal channels.

THE BAR (do these or you are not in the running)

1. Make an ad for ZABAL Gamez in any format - image, video, meme, motion graphic, cast, poster, audio drop, whatever sells it. No format gate.
2. Tag @bettercallzaal on X when you post the ad publicly.
3. Cross-post the same ad in the /zabal channel on Farcaster so the community sees it.
4. Submit the public URL on this POIDH bounty page.
5. AUDIO: if your ad has audio, use the official ZABAL Gamez promo MP3 from the asset kit, or original source-episode audio, or one clear instrumental that does not compete with spoken dialog. Random library music or melodic pads over dialog = floor fail.

THE RUBRIC (more boxes ticked = stronger judging weight)

Distribution

• Cross-post on any additional Farcaster feed beyond /zabal
• Cross-post on Bluesky, Threads, LinkedIn, Instagram, or TikTok in addition to X
• Tag @kennyistyping on X / @kenny on Farcaster (POIDH founder, will boost)
• Tag @poidhxyz on X / @poidh on Farcaster
• Tag @yerbearserker on Farcaster (Empire Builder co-founder)
• Include zabalgamez.com as a visible link in the asset OR the post body

Craft

• Clarity - you get what it is in 3 seconds
• On-brand energy - reads like ZABAL Gamez not generic crypto
• Vertical or square format for mobile-native scroll
• Captions if there is audio
• ZABAL Gamez wordmark or logo visible somewhere readable
• A short intro / context line in the post body (not just a drop)
• Shareability - the kind of asset someone would forward without being asked

Substance

• One clear takeaway about why ZABAL Gamez matters (free, 3 months, real mentors, real shipped builds for a 100+ member community)
• Names a real beat from the event - June workshops, July open build month, August Finals, one of the three tracks, the mentor model, the Finals stream
• Speaks to the right viewer - artist, builder, or creator - not a generic "join us" pitch

Bonus angles (rare, big multiplier)

• Frames the ad as a direct invitation to MENTORS, not just builders ("if you have shipped before, come mentor someone who has not")
• Includes a recorded testimonial pull-quote from a past or current ZAO contributor
• Motion graphics or B-roll that show what a ZAO build actually looks like (live URL + repo + demo flow)
• Plays in any orientation without losing the message (square that crops to vertical AND horizontal)
