<h3>Track Overview</h3>This track calls for creativity and viral posts on Twitter/X, centered around the upcoming Solana Crossroads conference in Istanbul. Submissions should aim for generating hype about the event, creating community momentum and highlighting the many teams/projects from Solana’s ecosystem that will be in attendance.&nbsp;The main takeaway from readers of your submission should be a sense of FOMO (fear of missing out) and the understanding of what Solana’s largest community conference is all about. You can do this through any form of content on Twitter/X - video, images, text, memes or other.&nbsp;Submissions are encouraged to incorporate supporting teams of the conference in their post, either by hyping up presentations/announcements or highlighting the project in various ways.There will be a 25% discount coupon for Crossroads ticket purchases during the same 48 hour window as the contest (April 9th/10th). We’d like if all submissions could include mention of the 25% off discount code: “solana” in their Twitter/X post.<h3>Content and Topic Ideas:</h3>There are several things the Crossroads team has hinted about/announced, and we encourage submissions to do the same if they see fit:<ol><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Anatoly will be a speaker along with Raoul Pal and other top Solana Builders</li><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Live airdrops at the conference announced in real-time for participants.</li><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Frank (GenesysGo Co-Founder) will be making a large announcement during his presentation.
