Hi @sorryvrerror,
In order to simplify grant distribution, we will be using the following format.
If your grant is selected, you will receive 40% of the funds. In order to receive the following 60% of the funds, you will need to meet your critical milestones.
With this information, simplify your critical milestones with the understanding that you will need to hit these milestones in order to receive the next 60%.
Thank you and let me know if you have any questions!
Hi @Michael
Thank you so much for the information. Please find our revised critical milestone below:
Critical Milestone
Kindly let me know if any information is needed to be clarified. 
great, good luck with the project
every project by Bored Town is growth
Greetings,
It is a pleasure to read your Growth Experiment. My vote belongs to this project because the people behind it actually understand the art at its core. I already WL myself in one of your quest challenges. Wish you success.
Just to add one thing. Your website should be much cooler than what it is now. Could be more interactive, more colorful, and more engaging. I am sure you guys can work this out.
Have you thought about using Tide?
Tide is the marketing dApp for any Web3 community and marketing managers in DeFi, NFTs, and DAOs projects.
For example, Subli, a web3 educator focused on Optimism, got a 30k $OP grant to grow its educational account and will leverage Tide to launch a series of quests: https://twitter.com/Subli_Defi/status/1632127033399730176 .
You can get started in a few clicks with our permissionless and no-code campaign editor, featuring advanced off-chain and on-chain web3 actions.
Moreover, you can mitigate bots and target community members relevant to your business without technical research. For example, you can make campaigsn accessible only to Optimism Bridgers or to users with at least 1 transaction on L2s in the last 90 days; This is important to make sure relevant users will interact with your quests
Finally, with our analytics, you will clearly measure effectiveness of Web3 marketing strategies and know your users’ interests, traits, habits, needs, and interactions. It can help in understanding potential collaborations and what your users enjoy.
We can setup a call to further discuss if we are the right fit for each other
For full disclosure, I work for Tide.

Thank you for providing me with the information. Please allow me to contact you if I require any assistance.
Thank you for your valuable suggestion. We are currently working on the new website and it will be launched soon.
fantastic. wish you greatness.
Total support! Amazing art for OP growth!
Sure, if you need any assistance, reach us out on Discord (Tide) or Twitter (https://twitter.com/Tide_web3).
Furthermore, feel free to reach out Subli and ask him his feedback on Tide.
Best Regards
Bored Town is one of the early NFT projects on Optimism that consistently communicate to the community wth many NFT related activities. They also expanded the awareness of NFT market to networks other than Optimism as well as collaborated with many projects across chains, though, Bored Town NFT collection is still their core project. Holders of Bored Town NFT continue to receive WL to participate in their new projects.
For the proposal, I like the idea of focusing on art and NFT artists in order to support the growth of NFT community on Optimism, which will eventually bring new users, both artists and collectors, to the NFT ecosystem on Optimism. Fully support this. 
Love your work ! Wish you Luck !

This is pretty cool, new to this NFT and digital world. I truly liked how your business proposal was written. I did not know there are actual real communities out that, besides those trying to scam into the wallets of not-knowers.
Thanks for the enlightening read.
Hello @sorryvrerror and thank you for the update. It looks like there is a discrepancy from the milestones you originally posted and the milestones in your update. Can you please explain the discrepancy below?
Can you link the distribution contract used by quest3 for reward disbersement?
Hi Katie,
Thank you so much for taking a look at this. The milestone we initially posted is the estimated date we settled on based on when we believed we could start working on the event. Unfortunately, the process took longer than we expected. The date we received the grant was May 3rd, as indicated in this transaction: OP Mainnet Transaction Hash (Txhash) Details | Optimism. This is why our work commenced later than initially stated.
During the art contest process, we realized that we couldn’t rush it if we wanted to achieve the best results. We provided all artists with enough time to create their art and took the necessary time to verify that we were rewarding genuine artists. Nonetheless, we still anticipate completing the event within the 5-month timeframe, as indicated on the form.
