Contest Overview

The challenge will see participants harnessing cutting-edge technologies to bring forth unique visions of alpine flora suitable for the farms of tomorrow. The objective is not only to foster creativity but also inspire a fresh perspective on agriculture in the metaverse.

Background of the Contest

The initiative is part of a broader effort by Metagri Lab, operated by Noujoujin Corporation based in Funabashi, Chiba Prefecture. This community focuses on driving advancements in agriculture through web3 technologies. Over recent years, the agriculture sector has experienced rapid changes with the integration of smart technologies and digital tools. Metagri Lab aims to accelerate this transformation by integrating knowledge from the younger generation and diverse industries, thereby modernizing agricultural practices.

Prior to this contest, Metagri Lab has successfully launched two similar design initiatives. The first, held in February 2025, focused on the theme of "Future Combines." This contest encouraged members to utilize generative AI to create innovative designs, with winning entries being 3D modeled by interns at the institute. The second contest occurred in March 2025, centered on "Future Fishing Vessels," where the top design, named "Neo Jellyfish No.1," was successfully adopted into the Roblox game environment.
