Moreover, on the occasion of the company’s 22nd Anniversary, VERTU is also offering the VERTU community a system of prizes offered to all owners of this first NFT collection. In total, no less than $4.68 million will be redistributed to the community in two forms:

  • VERTU will award crypto-currency prizes ranging from $20,000, $50,000 or $100,000 for every 79 NFTs sold 
  • When the 10555 NFTs will be sold, a contest will be held to award 4 grand prizes totaling $1 million (4 Bentley Bentaygas in VERTU colors and VERTU interior edition). Winners will be drawn at an event during Fashion Week 2022 live streamed worldwide from Paris for 3 smartphone/NFT owners, and 1 winner will be drawn from the live stream viewers of the event.

At the same time, VERTU Paris will make a donation of $500,000 to Médecins Sans Frontières (an international, independent medical humanitarian organisation).
