Boldly Go Campaign Rules
What: To honor Gene Roddenberry’s legacy, and to start a conversation about the world we want to build for each other, the Roddenberry Foundation is asking everyone, everywhere to share what gives them hope for the next century. Submissions can include anything, including, but not limited to, photos, videos, letters, or letters (“Materials”). Show Us What Inspires You!
Why: We will combine the submissions received into a single piece of artwork (“Artwork”). A copy of this artwork will be sent into space via a network of Planet satellites, memorializing our collective hopes for humanity’s future in a first-of-its-kind art installation. The Artwork will also be incorporated into one non-fungible token (“NFT”) that will be sold at auction, but may also be used in the future for other charitable purposes.
The proceeds of the Boldy Go Campaign and the NFT sale will be used to support the Roddenberry Foundation’s mission of identifying and supporting organizations who do the real-world work of championing equality, social justice, the arts and innovation. The Roddenberry Foundation will also use the proceeds to support communities and organizations across the globe that are making a positive difference on the issues and themes you highlight in the submissions. This means your submission will not just help us imagine a better future – it can help create one. Join us in shaping a better world – one of inclusion, inspiration and hope.
When: We started accepting submissions on 12:00PM ET September 8, 2021 and will continue to accept submissions until 12:01AM ET on December 31, 2021 (“Submission Term”).
How: You can send your submissions through www.boldlygo100.org, but may also post submissions using the #boldlygo100 hashtag on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Facebook, Instagram and Twitter do not sponsor or endorse this campaign and are not associated with the campaign in any way.
