Creators from underrepresented and marginalized communities are invited to apply to the second season of the virtual NFT Residency program. According to the brand, "the Residency’s collections will cover the world’s most pertinent topics: equity & justice, clean planet, future-proof, and well-being." The Residency program is part of the Voice's larger mission to empower creators to realize the value of their work. As a resident, creators will transform a body of work that they’ve wanted to make – or have already made – into an NFT collection. They will receive a creation stipend, a bonus incentive, project guidance and support, and both homepage and social promotion. Notable names within the current residency are contemporary artist and film director Marco Brambilla, recording artist Shan Vincent de Paul, musical artist UNIIQU3 -- to name a few.
