poetreeThe Rose & Bay Award honors excellence in cyberfunded creativity aka crowdfunding in the categories of Art, Fiction, Poetry, Webcomic, Other Project, and Patron. Complete rules appear on the 2012 Rose & Bay Award Landing Page.
So far, the Poetry and Webcomic nomination pages are online; you can watch for the others to appear later today or tomorrow. Please drop by and nominate your favorite projects! Boosting the signal helps too. This is a great opportunity to celebrate crowdfunded poetry that isn't eligible for most other awards. Beyond the contest rules, you can read about what makes a crowdfunded project in "5 Steps to Crowdfunding Success."
I've already made a couple of nominations for Poetry. It's hard to find projects that qualify, though. Does anyone else know of some other crowdfunded poetry projects from 2011?
Given this community's focus on alternatively published poetry, I think it would be cool to have a page that lists crowdfunded poetry projects. That would help people find them. Some projects are one-shot things, like using Kickstarter to fund a book tour; but others are done periodically or regularly so that people can follow their favorites over time.
