What Our Members Say…

NFTs have the potential to break the barriers to diversity and inclusion in the world of entertainment and media, giving a global platform to new voices the world needs to hear.
— Dr. Jennifer Lee
Leveraging the power and dynamic of NFT’s will help separate yourself from the 95 percent who dream of success, to the top 5 percent who make it come to life.
— Dr. Greg Reid, Author | Speaker | Film Maker
New technology always drives arts and entertainment. Think of the motion picture camera, radio, television, cable TV, digital filmmaking – once so new we didn’t understand them, and now so ingrained we can’t imagine life without them. The newest entrant to this distinguished parade of innovation is NFTs. I can’t wait to see where it takes us
— Larry Kasanoff, Producer Mortal Kombat
“The NFT world and the Metaverse are going to revolutionize many aspects of the media and entertainment business as well as just about everything else. I’m happy to be part of this effort to recognize the accomplishments of the innovative players in this sphere”
— Marty Pompadur, Former Chairman of the Board, Newscorp
The internet changed the way we communicate, and I believe NFTs will change it once again, by creating even more unique and bonded connections, assets and communities to transcend what we thought possible. That is why our new Center for Influence (launching this fall) at The University of Texas Austin teaching never-before taught topics, which include how to navigate NFTs into the future of our businesses.
— Amanda Russell, Author of The Influencer Code, Professor and Director of the Center for Influencer, University of Texas at Austin
Web3 technologies - including digital collectibles, blockchain infrastructure, immersive tech and decentralization- represent the next great era of opportunity in media and entertainment. I look forward to working with this team to recognize outstanding work in these fields.
— Seth Shapiro, two-time Emmy Award winner Chair, Web3 Advisory Council, National Association of BroadcastersQuote Source
As the co-founder of E! Entertainment Networks I am always seeking to participate in the latest new technology and business models that propel the media and entertainment world. The NFTYs represent a great opportunity to bring to light some of the incredible things that are happening in blockchain, crypto, NFTs and the Metaverse.
— Alan Mruvka, Co-founder E! Entertainment
I have been on 60minutes, The Today Show, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and addressed audiences at NATO, ITU, the UN, and WEF in Davos, but I think I am most excited about being a presenter at The NFTYS Awards show for the category of best AI integration of the year in a web3 project.
— Sophia, World's most famous humanoid by Hanson Robotics
I am thoroughly excited by the existence of The Academy of Digital Art, Sciences, & Culture DAO and its creation of the NFTYS Awards Program. We face the inception of truly exponential innovation in WEB3 with the metaverse and a period of mass adoption of tokenized assets. It is the perfect time to establish a body to recognize and reward the efforts of the individuals and organizations that are working so hard around the world to carry us forward into fundamentally new realms.
— Jeff Burton, Co-Founder of Electronic Arts
The Academy of Digital Arts, Science & Culture is long overdue, and perfect timing for the kinds of work I, and many of my peers are looking to do as artists, filmmakers & creative entrepreneurs. Also with significant discoveries in science being made daily — from quantum physics & alternative medicine/fitness to art & astronomy — it’s truly the perfect time to create a platform like The NFTYS where all these disciplines can commune. I’m really excited to be a part of it.
— Carolyn McDonald, NAACP Image Award-winning executive producer of HBO’s AMERICA’S DREAM, Emmy-nominated executive producer of TNT’s FREEDOM SONG and BUFFALO SOLDIERS
We believe that Fashion is an industry that in order for it to continue on the right path, it must continuously evolve specifically when speaking of technology/innovation! NFTs and the Metaverse are in many ways part of what we see as the future (not only in fashion but many industries), and plays an important role when it comes to the next generations and imagination - which is another pivotal part of how designers create new collections
— Jordana & Marcelo Guimaraes, Founders at Fashinnovation
Our work at RFC.ART is about transcending established boundaries to create a new artistic ecosystem, and ADASC and its pre-eminent award show platform the NFTYS is a massive lever that helps us all accomplish our goals
— Pablo Rodriguez Fraile and Desiree Casoni, Investors/Entrepreneurs/Collectors/
Blockchain, the metaverse, and NFTs are driving further innovation in arts & entertainment, often giving more power back to the content creators themselves. I’m honored to be a part of the Academy of Digital Art, Sciences, & Culture DAO and the NFTYS Awards Program! The NFTYs will showcase the incredibly talented people in the industry and recognize their accomplishments.
— Rachel Pether, Executive Board Member Haqq Network; TV Host, FintechTV
