# Contributing as an artist

How else would you contribute to KodaDot? By creating art of course! Your art gives KodaDot the ability to show the world what our creators are capable of. By publishing your art via KodaDot, you're representing us!

But you're not alone! We are passionate about supporting people like you, whether it's by providing them a grant to continue their NFT collection, putting them in our Discord's spotlight, or featuring them on KodaDot.xyz.

Our Discord Spotlight is a channel in our [Discord](https://discord.gg/kodadot) where the most passionate projects get the chance to keep close contact with the community (updates, launches, etc). You can also get the chance to be featured on the front page of KodaDot by being active in our community.

## Being featured on KodaDot <a href="#being-featured-on-kodadot" id="being-featured-on-kodadot"></a>

We strongly encourage artists who are joining our space to create or continue their art. We're aware of obstacles that might prevent an artist from doing so, which is why we're heavily backing our artists with support through grants and recognition.

### Recognition comes in two ways here at KodaDot: <a href="#recognition-comes-in-two-ways-here-at-kodadot" id="recognition-comes-in-two-ways-here-at-kodadot"></a>

#### 1) Discord Spotlights <a href="#id-1-discord-spotlights" id="id-1-discord-spotlights"></a>

Spotlight is a dedicated category in our [Discord](https://discord.gg/kodadot) where we feature the most active and passionate artists in the space. This is your chance to connect with the rest of the community!

By being spotlighted in our Discord, creators, and collections will be able to communicate with you directly. Whether it'd be compliments, constructive criticism, or just making a new friend, you can count on making meaningful connections here at KodaDot. Through our spotlights, you can update our community members with your newest drops and updates.

#### 2) Homepage Features <a href="#id-2-homepage-features" id="id-2-homepage-features"></a>

Being spotlighted in our Discord gives you a chance to be featured on our homepage. The same rules apply: be an active member and a passionate artist. We pick our homepage features based on eagerness, so make sure to let us know that you're interested in being featured when you join our Discord!

We're more inclined to shine a light on those who have the potential to scale their projects in the long term. We want to invest in someone who's truly passionate about their work rather than someone who's here just to make a quick buck.

## Programs for artists

We have two programs that will help you earn something extra on the side.

{% content-ref url="/pages/BClCwK0JTmZUtjei2Hoy" %}
[Artist Ambassador Program](/be-part-of-kodadot/kodadots-programs/artist-ambassador-program.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="/pages/ayhypKuabKIuPJvKVfzs" %}
[Artist Referral Program](/be-part-of-kodadot/kodadots-programs/artist-referral-program.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

Does this sound like you? We'll see you on the server.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://hello.kodadot.xyz/be-part-of-kodadot/contributing-as-an-artist.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
