Hi all.
Back in October, the Mosaic Musings Administration took steps to become a forum participant in a major monthly competition called The IBPC (InterBoard Poetry Competition) which is hosted monthly by Web del Sol. The IBPC aims to bring continual growth, in both quality and popularity, of poetry on the Internet. We believe MM would be a great asset to that union and benefit on several levels. We also feel that the talent and quality of works posted at MM is worthy of a larger audience.
The InterBoard Poetry Competition (IBPC) was conceived in 1999 by Michael Neff, Director of Web Del Sol. Neff worked with the Atlantic, Utne, and other on-line poetry boards to create a meaningful mission for the IBPC. The goals were several. First, to seek to improve the quality of poetry and discourse on participating boards and on the Internet in general; second, to discover and publish new poets; and third, to help these new poets become recognized by leading literary periodicals.
Currently, the IBPC includes twenty-two participating boards, with more pending approval. IBPC recognition of poets, and the boards they represent, has become an increasingly prestigious honor. Meanwhile, the nature of the competition has fostered creativity and improved communication among the on-line poetry community. Recently, IBPC staff have successfully engaged print journals with the competition. They plan to continue bridging the media gap between internet and print poetry.
I am priviledged to announce that MM has been accepted as a participating board beginning in January!
This is your personal invitation to represent and support Mosaic Musings in this monthly competition! Let's show them what we're made of!
