A&O Prize: Invitational for Hoosier Poets

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By Greg Disney-Britton

For the first time ever, Alpha & Omega Project for Contemporary Religious Arts is planning to honor three poets for their explorations of the "Risks of Religion." This honor is limited to Indiana-based poets only. We will announce the selected poets on or before October 31, 2013. Our "three" featured poets will each receive a $50 honorarium, and have the chance to sell their products on A&O Prize Night: Saturday, November at 2:00 p.m., as part of the Spirit & Place Festival week. The poest may also choose to be featured on this blog; and their performances posted to our You-Tube channel. Finalists will be notified in September.

To make a nomination, please email the following information to Pastor Jackie Jackson, at "Board(at)AlphaOmegaArts.org", and include in your nomination:
  1. Paragraph about the poets experience relating to the "risks of religious interaction".
  2. Paragraph about how they use, or do not use religion to overcome life challenges.
  3. Attach a 2-3 page CV or artist resume detailing their performance experience.
  4. Also include sample poems about their engagement with religion--positive, negative or neutral.  Video submissions via a You-tube link are accepted and encouraged.
