Are you ready for Afri-tunes 1st Anniversary Celebration on Hive?

Is that a big YES?

YES!!!!!!

On February 14, 2023 we informed our beloved Community members and the entire Hive Community of our intention and proposals/plans for our forthcoming first anniversary on Hive.

Yes, this celebration is necessary because it has been a rough yet interesting journey, and we wish to make this milestone an iconic one to celebrate ourselves, our members, and our community, African Music and the lovely Hive Community. We also wish to celebrate our love, friendship, unity and inclusiveness.

Thus, we laid down three plans for this event:

  1. The Production of Afri-tunes Branded T-Shirt which has QR code embedded on it, and as such it serves as Hive Marketing on-the-go
  2. Professional online Guitar Academy sponsorship for two members.
  3. Afri-tunes Contest which is open for both Musicians and Writers

PRODUCTION OF AFRI-TUNES BRANDED T-SHIRT


Our plan for the Branded T-Shirt is to design a T-Shirt that will be aesthetically appealing as a celebration wear, and will serve as a way of marketing Hive. Hence, we chose this beautiful design on the T-Shirt. Secondly, for the marketing tactics: there is a QR code embedded, once you scan it, it takes you to ecency signup page instantly.

This video was created when we gave update on Afri-tunes Branded T-Shirt with QR code for Hive Marketing


We are pleased to inform the Hive Community that the 15 branded t-shirts that we successfully made are currently being delivered to different Hivians/Hivers across different states in Nigeria.

We are also working with others in various parts of the world to ensure that they join us in this celebration, and we appreciate those who have already downloaded the original design template to make theirs in their area.

THANK YOU!!!

If you are interested in getting yours done in your current location, you can simply download the design template below, or reach out to us in the comment section. We’d really love to have everyone wearing this lovely T-Shirt and joining us to celebrate this day.

PROFESSIONAL ONLINE GUITAR ACADEMY SPONSORSHIP


It is also our wish to make musical impact on some of our members who are interested in learning guitar professionally or raising their levels of proficiency. Thus, we brought out this package to offer 3-month scholarship plan for those selected, with little monthly allowance for data subscription to assist and motivate them.

We plan to enroll them in an online academy with track record of excellence, founded by one of the top guitarists in Nigeria and who is also a top recording guitarist in Africa.

You can read this post to get other details about this sponsorship. We hope it motivates those selected to advance in their guitar playing, and we anticipate that this will have a beneficial effect on the musical content they contribute on Hive.

They deserve it!!!

Yessso!

Weldone boss

One of the things I appreciate a lot while going through this post was the obvious effort and the accuracy. No one is perfect, but permit me to call this whole project perfect and I believe that God will make it possible for everything that is needed to be made available soonish.

The t-shirt is lovely, I'm already preparing my mind to wear it everywhere I go and flaunt It even as it has my username on the back. It's lovely.

The video edit was lovely too, you really put in a lot of work, God bless your effort. The first guy's job wasn't looking too good from what I saw, good thing, you were able to find someone better to bring to reality the idea that was in mind.

The sponsors are amazing, we love and appreciate them, I do.

Hmmm...I think I will choose the writing category on that day hehe

So far, everything looks exciting and I'm looking forward to that day.

I appreciate you once again for the effort, it's a lot.

Just like merit said, you are too much.

Well done

Wow
