Pitches wanted (media, blockchain) | ~50 cents to $1 per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: DIRT

We will open our first DAO vote to fund longform newsletter ideas for the next season of Dirt. The DirtDAO will fund four pitches based on the results of two ranked choice votes in January and February. Consider this DirtDAO in beta.

BELOW ARE THE DIRT SEASON 3 PITCH GUIDELINES:

If you are interested in the future of media and blockchain, here is a big chance to influence it! Here are our new pitch guidelines. Pitching can be directed at any of these categories, but can also be outside them — we don’t want to miss anything great.

STREAM (~300 words, $150)

A Dirt dispatch on anything streamable, whether that’s a TikTok trend, Netflix original or YouTube channel. Some past examples of streaming in Dirt include the Britishness of Succession, rewatching Mad Men and podcast ads.

IP OF THE WEEK AKA IP OTW (~300 words, $150)

A Dirt dispatch on a piece of intellectual property, be it a book adaptation, a podcast-branded t-shirt or a viral book cover. Some past examples of IP in Dirt include film novelizations, a viral sign and Dune satire.

WHAT’S IN YOUR WALLET? aka WIYW

A questionnaire for digital collectors. We interview interesting people about their NFTs and other digital collectibles. We won’t take freelance pitches for this section, but if there is someone you want to see interviewed definitely let us know!

DAO-FUNDED LONGFORM FEATURES (~1,000 words, $1,000)

The Dirt DAO is a community of $DIRT token holders that allocates a portion of the Dirt editorial budget by vote. Longform pitches will first be considered by the Dirt editorial team (currently Daisy and Kyle) before being shared with the DAO. Please don’t pitch this section if you aren’t comfortable with your pitch being seen in full by the DAO members!
