gm, and welcome to issue #48 of ✨Spark✨ Last week we announced a new block that’s pretty much a game changer in rewarding your community for their contributions. Our Contest Block is now in BETA — reply to this email to test it out — and we’re celebrating with an actual contest.

Submit your best page templates. We'll be judging pages by the way they look, creative use of features, and their utility.

Two winners will get a free VIP ticket to Sound.xyz’s event, the Sound Lounge Live happening in LA on November 16, 2022.

Tip of the Week

When it comes to running events, we often worry about the technicalities and end up forgetting that we’re dealing with people’s feelings, moods, interests, and fears. A community builder focuses beyond the operations. They design an experience to make people feel a certain way. Here’s how to focus on the feels and create memorable events. 

Your Turn

Don't forget to submit your page template to our Contest for a chance to dance the night away with some awesome web3 creators and a few members of the team. More info below!
