Chicago Teens Can Get Their Pictures Minted As NFTsThe state of Chicago has announced that from now until the end of May, it will allow vaccinated youth who took part in the ‘Face Forward Project’ to print their own NFTs as part of COVID-19 prevention efforts.
Chicago Teens May Mint Their Portraits with NFTs
The NFTs are being minted as part of the ‘Face Forward Project’—Chicago’s COVID-19 vaccination campaign which encourages youths to get vaccinated in order to protect their future.
Chicago’s local government explained that the purpose of this program is to reward those who have been vaccinated against COVID-19.

The integration of NFTs into the project was inspired by the theme of the youth project’s anthem, “One of One.” Original portraits of each of the participants were taken by famed Chicago photographer, and the recipient of the 2021 ‘Mayor’s Medal of Honor‘, Sandro Miller.
Youths who decide to have their portraits minted as NFTs can do so using NFT multimedia platform ‘VAST’. Each portrait will be unique, just like each NFT.
Each NFT will contain an excerpt from the hit single by Chicago-born, two-time Grammy Award-winning artist and producer Keith Harris, “One of One.”
