Ride the Artwave - Nogglesboard Art Contest

We’re inviting artists from across the Nouniverse and beyond to submit original artworks to be eternally laminated into a surfboard — a one-of-a-kind Nounish creation that blends Web3 culture and boardriding soul.

This celebratory edition of Rounds pays tribute to the Noggleboard, a Nounish surfboard born from Prop 752, and now brought to life by the community. Through an open vote on Farcaster, the board model was chosen:

Quad Parallelogram Goofy – 5'0" x 21" x 2¾"
Asymmetrical shape for goofy-footers (right foot forward), quad-fin setup, wide outline, inspired by Mini Simmons designs — built for flow, speed, and fat waves.

Selected artworks will be printed directly onto the surfboard during the lamination process, becoming part of the board’s DNA — sealed under glass forever.
The final piece will be auctioned as a 1/1 physical + NFT combo, linking craftsmanship, digital culture, and storytelling in true Nounish form.

Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just starting out, this is your chance to leave a mark onchain and on-wave.
This is not just any board, it's the first-ever Nouns surfboard designed and produced fully on-chain, blending blockchain innovation with physical craftsmanship.

We’re looking for high-quality illustrations or graphic art that reflect the playful, open-source spirit of Nouns, Gnars, Surf, Cringe Meme and High Tech Nounish Design Whether hand-drawn or digital, colorful or monochrome, we want your raw creativity.

Before you submit your piece, we encourage you to:

• put on a good song
• sip something warm
• soak in the vibe

Then, if you’re feeling the stoke (no pressure!):
Follow us on Farcaster, Twitter, or Instagram and share your artwork mentioning our profile in one of these platforms. This helps spread color and creativity across the ecosystem and we’d love to repost your energy onchain 💥
