# Drift: Fund The Drift Superteam Earn Creator Competition

## Summary
Proposal to fund a creator competition with $8,250 in DRIFT tokens distributed through Superteam Earn to promote B.E.T (Solana's first capital efficient prediction market built on Drift). The competition included three bounty tracks (video, Twitter thread, trade ideas) plus a grand prize, each with tiered rewards. The proposal failed to pass.

## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Failed
- **Proposer:** proPaC9tVZEsmgDtNhx15e7nSpoojtPD3H9h4GqSqB2
- **Prize Pool:** $8,250 in DRIFT tokens
- **Prize Structure:** Grand prize ($3,000), three tracks at $1,750 each with 1st/2nd/3rd place awards
- **Platform:** Superteam Earn
- **Duration:** Created 2024-08-27, completed 2024-08-31

## Significance
Represents an early futarchy-governed marketing/grants decision where a protocol attempted to use conditional markets to approve community engagement spending. The failure suggests either insufficient market participation, unfavorable price impact expectations, or community skepticism about the ROI of creator bounties for prediction market adoption.
