Collaborations

If anyone is interested in a group collaboration piece, here is a place for the group to meet up and discuss the project.

I was thinking about throwing a little contest

I would need a little help from some volunteers in this, I want 3 judges, myself and 2 others, since I can have 4 screens in a live, figured it would be more likely to be a fair way of judging by having 3 judges instead of just being a single decision maker in the final decision for the winner. I want to make it a rhyme scheme prompt, and I don't want to do it as a read out, i want it to be a spoken word performance. 3 judges, 1 contestant 1 piece at a time and cycle through the competitors 1 by 1.. judge on 3 basic factors, 1 style/scheme, 2 rhythm/flow, 3 story/impact. Each judges every performance by number, as a scale of 0-10 per each of the 3 factors, which gives a maximum value for a score of 30. I feel this is the fairest way to get the best results for the winner. Id like one other host if possible, and perhaps someone who is not much known for a spoken word artist but is a poetry fan maybe a writer who doesnt preform in lives, but who can provide a more out of the box judgment. This wont be rushed, anyone who wants to volunteer for the setup/design for a digital poster/ad is more than welcome to join the discussion and provide insight or input ideas, and anyone who participated of course you will be acknowledged via tag/mentioned and get a shoutout during showtime. First I want to hear what the PEEPs4KEEPs think about the idea, and second id like to see who is interested in the judging position. You will be expected to attend as many discussions as possible, and definitely expected to communicate with the team and be willing to be committed to the showtime date once we have a agreement with that. Please be aware, anyone who is interested in joining me as host, will not be allowed to attend as a contestant... I want to create a beautiful PPP certificate for the winner, 2nd place, and 3rd place contestants. Winner gets to be posted on all contributers pages indefinitely, and gets to be shared in all contributing members stories for 2 story full length shares each, all contributing members will be named for the thanking in the certificate, thus giving them a special award, aswell as some notable acknowledgement from several accounts to aid in their exposure to recognition. 2nd place winner, gets 2 story shares from each contributer for 2 full lengths, and 3rd place gets 1 story share from the contributers. Contributions are open to anyone who is willing to assist with input, assistance in the process of designing and creating the certificates or the event ad/setting, and anyone who is interested in simply just helping out by agreement with the 1st 2nd and 3rd posted prizes posted on their accounts. If we can get a good few people willing to share these winners as mentioned above, definitely has some good beneficial points to interest contestants to participate in the event due to having the opportunity to be able to benefit from potential clients/fans and or supporters and to get a new chance for exposure to potential fresh eyes and new followers to support their growth in the spoken word poetry community. 1st 2nd and 3rd prizes will be a strict standard for carrying out the agreement in accordance with the winner numbers, so no favorites for tye 3rd place just to be nice, and no mistakes made by forgetting to post the first place just because you were rooting for anorher.. the goal of this contest, is to have fun, expand poetic array by creating a unique theme for fun that can be great for the contestants to challenge themselves in poetix growth, and all in all build up a foundation for a stronger relationship with a unified community in our artistic lifestyle, and to be a friend to all and all get to be accustomed to the potential for new corners of exposure shining light to new areas of expansion in the poetry community. And to do all that surrounding the live with the best and most fairest way of choosing the winner so no one is treated wrongly by unfair or unjust decisions. 3 topics, 3 numbers, per preformer, and winners are chosen by tallying the highest numbers when the the 3 factors are added up for each contestant. Tie breakers will be chosen by each contestant facing off with the same piece, and then adding the votes of the viewers to the previous existing numbers from the judges. Any thoughts or comments are welcome and appreciated. What do you think of my idea for a ppp special event??? Perhaps we can explore the possibility for paid entries for a prize pond for the winners, however, that can always be implemented in a later time considering the outcome of the first official daybute. Let me know what you think. And see what it takes and who is interested to get the show on the road thanks
