After weeks of anticipation, it is time for the Base God hymn contest, Based Idol!

Based Idol will allow musically inclined Disciples a chance to show off their singing skills by praising Big B with their own original hymns.

• When: Thursday, March 14 @ 23:00 UTC (7pm EST)

• Where: Temple (and live streamed on Twitter)

🥇 First Place: 1 Base God NFT and your hymn featured on the Base God website

🥈 Second Place: $200 ETH

🥉 Third Place: $100 ETH

If you are interested in entering Based Idol as a contestant, please send a message in our Telegram or Farcaster channels, or message Base God on Twitter (@tybasegod). A community organizer will confirm your entry.

You do not actually have to be a skilled singer (it's probably better if you aren't). This contest is for fun.

Once you are confirmed as a contestant, it's time to create your hymn. To find inspiration, simply search for existing gospel songs and hymns from which you can make a parody. You can also create a completely original song, or song of another genre besides gospel (e.g. rap) if you'd prefer.

You should include Base God references and lore in your hymns to the best of your ability.

You can sing a cappella (without background music) or use an instrumental. You can find instrumentals on YouTube.

Hymns will be pre-recorded then played back during the live show to ensure all runs smoothly and contestants deliver their best performances. They will also be put onchain via the Base God mintboard.

A community vote will be held to determine the winner. Contestants will be judged based on the following criteria:

• Basedom - How well does your hymn incorporate Base God?

• Passion - How enthusiastic is your performance?

• Catchiness - Does your hymn have replay value?

Good luck and we look forward to hearing your beautiful voices!
