After raising a $20 million seed earlier this year, the the decentralized autonomous organization CreatorDAO is attempting build a brand-new type of digital network. be a part of it by participating in their $1 million dollar competition called #TheSearch.

What's #TheSearch? Hosted by Andrew East, #TheSearch is going to be set up as a series, in which the main objective is to find the next best creator. Think American Idol but for content creators. Check out the 90 second series announcement... 👇
