~FEEDBACK~

Topics:
-just a reminder that the first stage of the competition requires you to submit your own poems.
Any title! Any style! Must be your original write-up!
-don't fuss too much about the topics I am releasing. That part of the competition is due in the second round.

Response Time:
I won't reply every comment.
But, I would collate the comments and provide general solutions/replies using the the Feedback mechanism.
90% of the time, the questions have been asked before. Read all feedback posted by me.

FEEDBACK

Officials Update: HumbledbyGrace, Assistant Judge & Coordinator (Trainee cool)
It is good to have a foreigner as part of the team, to create the balance.
Besides, more officials would make things easier and orderly.

Topic Release Schedule: the list would be out on the 11th of July, 2013.
This would give members ample time to prepare in advance.

Advantages:
-By the time you qualify to round 2, you wouldn't need to bother about writing afresh.
-You would probably just need to review and edit.
-You would have time to connect with your teammate(the designer)

Reminder: please, start working on your poems for stage 1.
The sooner the better. You don't need any guidelines from me for that.

@everyone: thank you for your interest and contribution.

Yup!

Orikinla: I am impressed.
Believe it or not, this is unprecedented in Nigeria. And Fidelity Bank Plc may want to be part of this competition since the bank is the leading supporter of Nigerian literary culture.
Send the bank a proposal to sponsor a prize for the winner.

Two thumbs up!

Thank you for your suggestion, I appreciate it.
But, please, I am only focusing on organizing the competition. Sponsorship can wait.
Probably if, I had my own blog for online events, I would have explored that option.
For now, please, let us focus on promoting writers, and enjoy the experience.

Well, it wouldn't be a bad idea if he is willing to help.

would the sponsor reach those who are not in Nigeria? Say a winner is from S.A, the States, Kenya, Europe. How will the prize reach them?

I think if we go on the sponsorship lane there will be conflicts of interest.

There are things called money transfer or gift certificates which can be used in a lot of countries.

And there is always the option of mail...not e-mail but DHL and stuff

Hmm...ok now this has gotten my attention.
But are we to look for our designers or you would bring a list of designers for us to pick from? *following*

why can't we just focus on the creativity and togetherness this competition would bring? Its a first competition of this kind, this is more like a trial.

I am not into the prize debate I am just telling how it will work if we eventually decide to add it

was not debating either, was just trying to move the focus from the prize that's all.

I am not supposed to answer individual comments. But, I would oblige, just this once to clear the doubt.

No, you won't look for designers, but, we would pair you up with the fantastic designers we have.

Thank you!
