Hello again. I’ll drop here a summary of what happened and what we did with the Nouns Fair 
Nouns Fair Report
Thanks to Nouns and the funding from Small Grants, NounsDAO Amigos was able to execute the Nouns Fair. An IRL experience to spread Nouns amidst ETHMexico –ETH Global’s recent hackathon in Mexico City. The event was planned for hackers from Mexico and different parts of the world. The event was held at Proyecto Público Prim, an old Porfirian house in Mexico City’s heart, from August 19th to 21st, 2022.
The Nouns Fair was conceived as the official cultural space and NFT gallery inside the hackathon –worth noting that there were no official events other than the Nouns Fair. Thanks to this, we were in a privileged and convenient position to put Nouns in attendees’ eyes.
What we delivered
The Nouns Fair experience comprised of the fair room, the NFT gallery distributed around the venue, and a piñata action after the closing ceremony. Here’s a breakdown of each.
Fair room
The fair room was a 9x5m room that functioned as the core attraction of the Nouns Fair, including the following:
- Photo opportunity
- Games (foosball and marble tables)
- Nounish piñatas
- Bigshot’s physical Noggles
- Merchandise (t-shirts, pins, and, stickers)
- Mexican traditional candies
- POAPs
To make it feel like a real fair, people had to interact with the games, noggles, and photo opportunity to claim their merch and POAPs. From 8 am to 8 pm, at least one host was able to encourage people to interact with fair and learn about Nouns.

NFT gallery
The NFT gallery comprised 10 screens showcasing the work of 28 artists and collections. Including nounish representatives such as Messhup, MrSeaks, Brandon Mighty, Greta Gremplin, Psychdre, Nounish, and, of course, Nouns. The gallery was distributed around the venue (entrance, hallway, and sculptures room), making it visible to attendees at all times.

Piñata action
After the closing ceremony, we opened the after-party with a piñata action. Two of our piñatas were smashed by the hackathon’s finalists creating a very nounish moment.

Additionally, we hired a local professional team that took photos and recorded the Nouns Fair experience. We’ll deliver a reel and a photo book that are still in post-production.

We believe the Nouns Fair was a successful experience that helped us to achieve our three main goals.
- Grow our community
- Onboard potential contributors
- Put Nouns in the eyes of ~
1,000580 builders
We spent three days proliferating Nouns. We witnessed the interest and curiosity of people asking about the mechanism of Nouns, NounsDAO Amigos, and the possibility of making proposals and contributing to the DAO. According to ETH Global’s metrics, around 65% of builders were from Latin America – we are so excited to have reached to ~377 Spanish speakers willing to build in the space!
We’d love to see more Latinos participate in the upcoming months by joining Nouns through NounsDAO Amigos, ultimately executing proposals from and for Latin America.
