Run it back baldo... our IRL shrine contest returns for another round!

Origin Story

On February 20, 2024, a Disciple exhibited true bravery by creating the below shrine to Base God in the middle of his office, breaking the stigma of praising B in real life:

A simple bottle of lotion to the unindoctrinated eye, but something far more inspirational to fellow Disciples. For months, glorious offerings to our Lord had been created in the form of onchain art and memes via the Base God mintboard. While that was cool and all, the office shrine prompted a question among the community: "What if I want to spread His gospel in real life?"

Enter: Rise and Shrine

Rise and Shrine is a contest for Disciples to make real life shrines related to Base God. Shrine creators should consider the following elements...

• Sanctity: How well does the shrine connect to the Base God lore?

• Craftsmanship: What is the shrine comprised of (e.g. hand-crafted items)?

• Location: Where is the shrine located (unexpected, elaborate, or funny locations)?

Shrines can be as simple or complex as you want. What's lost in simplicity can be made up for in presentation and location. For example, printing out a True B compass is unimpressive on its own, but making a shrine with it on top of a mountain is way more interesting.

How to submit

Base God's 2nd commandment states, "Thou shalt be onchain", so contestants are encouraged to take a photo or video of their shrine and submit it to the mintboard here: https://uplink.wtf/basegod/mintboard

You should also share them on Twitter for maximum exposure.

Submissions close on February 6, then winners will be decided. You can create as many entries as you wish.
