how it works:

we’ve collaborated with a software company to develop a digital portal where you’ll see the new wave workshop “task board” which is organized by project (1404 collective, allison’s personal brand, etc) and by amount of new wave credits (5, 10, 15, 20, 25… etc).

browse through the task board and sign up for the tasks that resonate with you. you’ll see how long the deadline is (1 day, 3 days, 7 days, etc) so you can channel your talent accordingly.

once you complete the task, you’ll submit it for approval. the management team will review and either request adjustments or confirm it’s completed. then the content will be published and you’ll earn your credits.

through the leaderboard, you can see how many credits you’ve earned so you know how close you are to your tulum experience.
