Well, the artist doesn't necessarily *have to* rally votes unless they want to...

For these public contests, I would like to keep involving other people in the whole process starting from determining the total size of the prize to the proposals to the choosing process. Another, slightly different aspect of the initiative will be completely privately (between myself/the Satoshee company and the artist) agreed upon works as per the "Creation" section on the page:

"The Open Source Culture Fund will be used to commission new artworks to be created and released into the public domain.
This will be done in three ways:
1. Through direct, private arrangements between Satoshee Strategy and artists
2. Through public contests in which artists can submit offers as to what they would be willing to create for the public domain for a preset amount of BTC
3. Through zaps to users on the nostr network, who create and/or distribute Public Domain or Creative Commons (CC-BY) licensed content with the hashtag #opensourceculture"

We can always try playing around with any of those variables though in order to make it more or less public/private - i.e. set up stricter or less strict rules on what can be proposed, bigger or smaller prizes, one or more winners, different vote weights, etc. :)
