SXSW Plans to Drop It\u2019s First NFT at This Year\u2019s 10-Day Festival \u2014 Blockchain Creative Labs to Issue NFTs<\/h2>\n

According to an announcement stemming from SXSW<\/a>, the annual conglomeration of parallel film, music and art festivals, and interactive media, this year\u2019s festival will have a strong focus on non-fungible token (NFT) technology.<\/p>\n

The creative NFT studio and business backed by Fox Entertainment, Blockchain Creative Labs (BCL), will be the official blockchain sponsor of SXSW.

We at Blockchain Creative Labs are proud to partner with SXSW on this major sponsorship.<\/p>\n
