[ysabetwordsmith.livejournal.com]

We're continuing to make progress with the Rose and Bay Awards.  Please keep spreading the word.

Activity Report
Here are the current tallies for the categories.

Art -- 4 projects nominated.  We still need more here.
Fiction -- 21 projects nominated.  This category is doing fine.
Poetry -- 4 projects nominated.  We really need more poetry too.
Other Project -- 11 projects nominated.  Remember webcomics go here; more nominations are welcome.
Patron -- 12 people nominated.  More would be good; every active creator should be nominating patrons here.

Promotional Materials and Art
We are continuing to create materials to support the award. Here are some things you may find helpful for promotion.

Use the landing page as a focal point when you are telling people about the Rose and Bay Awards.  This page describes the award and its rules, gives links to the individual nomination pages, lists our volunteers, notes features in progress, and explains how people can help.  Most links about the award should point here, unless you are talking about a specific nomination page.

Artwork, including Nominee badges, is here.  We would like to thank all the folks who have posted the various badges and banners on their blogs!
