Subject: Fw: New Orleans Poetry Festival 2020, Proposal Deadline Extended
From: New Orleans Poetry Festival
NOPF 20, Get your proposals in now! | | Dear Poets: Thanks to all of you who have submitted amazing proposals for readings, roundtables, workshops, and everything else for the 2020 New Orleans Poetry Festival (April 16-19, 2020). This note is to let you know that, because of the holiday weekend, we are extending the proposal deadline (originally today) through Monday night. The proposal submission form will remain active up until 6AM (CST) Tuesday morning, Dec. 3. After that time, only Small Press Fair Table proposals will remain active. As always, we rely on you to make the festival great. You do this by proposing events and Small Press Fair tables. We need you to do this by December 1, 2019. Instructions are on the website, but here is the procedure in a nutshell: 1. Go to nolapoetry.com and log in by clicking on the Log-In / Register link in the top menu. If you are not already registered on the site, fill out the registration form with your bio and pic. (Please note that registration is for individuals, not presses or other organizations. Register as an individual; you will enter your press or organization later.) 2. Once you are logged in, click on 2020 Submissions and then Propose an Event for 2020. The information on the form should be self-explanatory, and is very similar to last year's proposal form. New this year is the selection of an Event Type. The types are: - Reading: A reading by a group of poets and/or performers/writers. This could be a reading organized by a press, magazine, organization, or any other grouping. This requires a minimum of three performers. (Note that we open proposals for individual readers in January, however these slots are quite limited in number and are in high demand.) 50 minutes.
- Roundtable: A discussion group for issues pertinent to poets and writers. 50 minutes.
- Workshop: A writing or performance workshop. These can be either 50 minutes or 110 minutes. (Note that we can only accept a total of four workshops.)
- Performance/Installation/Other: Basically, any event that does not fit into any of the other categories. May be a static display or ongoing presentation.
- Table (at the Small Press Fair): Display table at the Small Press Fair. Not available to individual authors; only to presses or other organizations that will feature a variety of publications or other materials. Tables are accepted on a first-come first-served basis up to our maximum of 40. All day Saturday, April 18, and Sunday, April 19.
Table proposals will be accepted as they arrive. All other proposals will be reviewed after December 1 with notifications sent by January 1. Note, however, that no events will be scheduled until tickets are purchased.
Thanks, as always, for your support. We are looking forward to meeting you or seeing you again at NOPF20. Bill Lavender Trembling Pillow Press The New Orleans Poetry Festival 2020 | | | | |
