ZA Bank marks 3rd anniversary with A.I. artwork contest

In celebration of its 3rd anniversary today, ZA Bank has launched its new NFT Maker campaign. Users can create unique pieces of art with advanced A.I. technology¹ and mint them into tradable NFTs², marking this occasion as another market-first in the Bank’s journey of technological innovation.

A truly intelligent A.I. artwork experience

From now until 18 April 2023, Hong Kong users can simply answer three interesting questions in the campaign page of NFT Maker via ZA Bank App. Based on their answers, the A.I. system will generate a background picture in a particular art style, along with signature Hong Kong elements such as the Star Ferry, the Peak Tram and double-decker buses. Users can then add ZA-branded items to create artworks in their own way.

Getting votes to win M+ museum membership

After completing their artworks, users can invite friends to vote for them. Those who are ranked in the top 333 will get awesome prizes³. The top 3 winners will each get a free 1-year M+ museum membership, for a visually stunning and artistic journey with a friend, along with 300,000 ZA Coins (equivalent to HKD 3,000)⁴ and a special T-shirt printed with their winning masterpiece.
