What Is the Rose and Bay Award?

The Rose and Bay Award was launched by [personal profile] ysabetwordsmith (Elizabeth Barrette) in January 2009, and quickly gained additional volunteers. This award focuses on a growing business model known as "crowdfunding" or "cyberfunded creativity," which directly connects creative people and patrons of the arts online. This award recognizes exemplary projects and enthusiastic patrons. It currently features six categories: Art, Fiction, Poetry, Webcomic, Other Project, and Patron. (Other Project includes any cyberfunded creativity that isn't art, fiction, poetry, or webcomic -- or that spans more than one category -- such as movies, music, etc.)

The award period for eligible activities spans January 1-December 31, 2019.
The nomination period spans January 1-January 31, 2020.
The voting period spans February 1-February 29, 2020.

I have posted the landing page for the 2020 Rose & Bay Awards. Is anyone willing to handle some of the categories? I would prefer not to do them all, because I have eligible material in some categories. Please speak up if you're willing to help with this project.
