Claynosaurz Brings Home 13 Collision Awards, Beating Out Pixar, Disney, Sony

Going where no Solana NFT collection has dared before, Claynosaurz is expanding its reach and recognition far beyond the borders of the Web3 world. What’s next for Solana’s quirky claymation creatures?

A New Kind of Claynosaurz Sweep

As if Claynosaurz’s inclusion in the prestigious 2024 Collision Awards wasn’t enough, the Solana-based team stole the show. Taking on household names like Pixar, Disney, and Sony, Claynosaurz triumphed in fourteen different award categories.

Judges from celebrated and reputable entertainment companies like the Walt Disney Animation Studios, Ubisoft, and The Pokemon Company awarded the Claynosaurz brand in the following categories:

• Gold - Film - Character Design

• Gold - Film - Lighting

• Gold - Marketing - Character Design

• Gold - Marketing - Lighting

• Silver - Film - Best 3D/CG Animation

• Silver - Film - Character Animation

• Silver - Film - Social Media

• Silver - Marketing - Best 3D/CG Animation

• Silver - Marketing - Social Media

On top of the nine awards judged by a professional and impartial jury, Claynosaurz won every single Audience Choice category. Including:

• Audience Choice Award - Best 3D/CG Animation

• Audience Choice Award - Character Animation

• Audience Choice Award - Marketing Social Media

• Audience Choice Award - Film Social Media

This remarkable achievement highlights the strength of not only the wider Web3 community, but also the brand’s growing recognition outside the crypto space. Thrilled with Claynosaurz performance at the event, co-founder Cab took to 𝕏 to express his excitement regarding the brand’s growth.

While Claynosaurz enjoyed massive success at the event, NFT markets have been slow to react.

NFT Market Indifferent to Claynosaurz Triumph

Despite the brand’s landmark achievement, NFT traders and investors have barely reacted to the event. 

Up a mere 4% off the back of the news, Claynosaurz's continued expansion outside the horizons of the Web3 world didn’t inspire a flurry of trading activity. 

However, this is largely due to the stale state of Solana’s NFT market, which has taken a back seat to the network’s thriving meme coin economy.

What’s Next For Claynosaurz?

With its trophy cabinet full, the Claynosaurs brand now turns its attention to the ongoing development of Claynotopia, the brand’s envisioned virtual home for all its delightful characters.

While still developing engaging mobile games and unique digital experiences, the Claynosaurz team is rolling out more collectible cosmetics. The latest drop transforms all Claynosaurz croissant and taco NFTs into new armor sets for their dinosaur counterparts.

For now, these collectibles are purely cosmetic. However, the Claynosaurz team has hinted that they will play a role in the upcoming Claynosaurz mobile game.

Solana’s NFT market may still be far from its former glory, but Claynosaurz's growing brand recognition and vision go beyond floor prices. The brand’s impressive performance at the Collision Awards has helped put the entertainment industry on notice, suggesting that Web3 brands are capable of so much more than being vehicles of speculative trading.
