Description

Plan:

1. Buy 1 LAND parcel per week at random intervals.
2. Give an advance warning of the upcoming competition.
3. Help developers with DCL/SDK7/Github questions.
4. Review submissions and award the best build.
5. Add the builds to the Awesome Repo.

Objective:

1. Create a sustainable mechanism for rewarding SDK7 builders.
2. Enhance community participation through competition.
3. Spotlight and celebrate exceptional SDK7 builds.
4. Increase understanding of what kind of builds we want to see in Decentraland.
5. Buy unused parcels and redistribute them to people to utilize.

Proposal Outline:

1. Formation of the LAND Squad: A team overseeing acquisition, competition and redistribution of LANDs.
2. Weekly LAND Purchases: Acquire the lowest-priced square on the marketplace weekly.
3. Build Submission and Review: Developers submit their builds via a PR to the awesome repository. Reviews will be based on creativity, technical proficiency, and community value. 1 LAND will be awarded each week but all submissions will rollover to increase the competition.

Why?

1. To incentivise developers to start working with SDK7.
2. Help contribute to the Awesome Repo.
3. Bring new developers to get involved with the community.

What do we have to lose?:

1. The DAO will get 2.5% fee back on each purchase. :partying_face:..
2. If the winner decides to sell the parcel then the DAO will get another 2.5% fee..
3. If they sell cheap enough then we can buy back at the floor price :)
4. If they want to keep it then we have a new active builder..

Budget and Funding: 80% of the budget will go to buying back the lowest priced LAND parcels at random intervals throughout the weeks. 20% administrative costs including gas fees, reviewing submissions, managing SDK7/GITHUB questions and awarding the winning build.

We will host our events in game @13,-1 but we will let y'all know via our discord: https://discord.com/invite/fCkPsSReYZ
