2012 Rose & Bay Voting: Fiction Category
Voting is now open for the Fiction category of the Rose and Bay Awards.

Please read the complete details below, and then make your vote in the following poll. For more information about this award, visit the 2012 landing page.
What Is the Rose and Bay Award?
The Rose and Bay 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 categories and their handlers are listed below:

ysabetwordsmith.livejournal.com2011-11-29 02:01 pmCrowdfunding Creative Jam followup & poll
October 17-18 (Monday-Tuesday)
There was 1 open playground, 9 people posting prompts, and at least 8 pieces were created.
November 20-21 (Sunday-Monday)
There were 2 open playgrounds, 6 people posting prompts, and at least 7 pieces were created.
What did you think of the experience overall?
Ideally, I'd like to open this up for other folks to manage sessions in different months. Please comment if you're interested in doing that. You don't need to think up themes -- you can pick one from the poll, as there were a number of very popular ones.
Finally, we need to decide about the timing of the sessions, since we tried two different versions.
