 ---------- [ The | Major's | Donation | Station ]Donations for the Foundation (Charity) Go to Major Domo.
Donations for the Community Quest Pool go to Sgt. Krynic --If you have donated and do not see your name listed below, please let me know right away. We lost a list during the Mysterious Missing Posts Crisis a while back.--Benefactors are those willing to donate enough gold and/or items to supply awards valued at more than a first prize. In our case that would be 25K gold or more, or expensive items, usually catagory-specific [such as Nitemare, Angelic, letters, etc.]. Our goal for future first prizes is 50K gold or themed items.
--Donators are those who contribute gold and/or items to be used at the Foundation Staff's discretion as prizes and awards.
--Sponsors are those who donate to any Contest in terms of a prize or award of their choice [1st, 2nd, 3th, or Honourable Mention].
--Please consider sharing your wealth and support. Message Mahayr if you would like personal references.
--We are hoping to attract Benefactors, Sponsors and Donators among Gaians interested in promoting writing in general and our Mission [please visit the Headquarters for all such information] in particular!
--You may message or initiate a trade with me and I will answer each one.
--Live long and prosper. Remember: There is more joy in giving than receiving, and we hope to be giving with on-going commitment and dedication -- and receiving to keep it possible.

As promised, we have decided to do what we can to help other Writing Contests to get and stay on their collective feet! We may have to start out small, but as we grow, our ability to help others will grow. Writing Contest Charity Application So you would like a litle help from your friends to support your own writing contest? Let us see what we can do for you. Please complete the following form and we will visit your Contest Thread before making a decision and possible donation.
[ Must Read | RULES | Follow Directions ]
1. Contest must be on-going or you must have sponsored past Contest(s).
2. Contest must specify minimum entries to be recieved and that minimum may be no less than 15.
3. Contest must specify start and end dates. Delays must be clearly stated.
4. Contest must state name of judge(s).
5. Contest must state how many prizes are to be awarded and what those prizes will be.
6. Contestants must post their submissions in the thread and not via PM.
7. Contest Owner must submit one (1) personal reference. Both the Contest Owner and the Reference will be investigated for length of time on Gaia, posting numbers, and posts content.
8. Contest Owner will complete our application correctly the first time. If you can not read and follow directions, or are too lazy to do so, you have no business hosting a Writing Contest.
9. Direct any questions to Mahayr via PM. If you have unusual circumstances or need any adjustments to these rules, please let us know and we will give them all due consideration.
10. Copy the following application and paste (after completing the required information) in this thread. We will respond as soon as possible, usually within 24 hours. [ The Application ] Quote: Name of Contest: Contest Description: Location (link or URL) of Contest Thread: Contest Owner/Host: Number/Name(s) of judges: Contest Length (Dates and/OR number of entries required.): Number and details of Prizes to be awarded: Are you charging an entry fee? If so, how much?: How much do you personally have set aside for your contest prizes?: How much are you asking for?: Comments: (This is your chance to explain why you want a grant instead of raising the money yourself. How well the contest is planned out will be the #1 deciding factor, but if our funds are low we may have to consider this section of the application as well.)Grants Awarded - Either by Application or Secret Investigations!Music of Your Writing Hosted by Ashaela

Mahayr February.15.2005
Did some more editing on this post - you have to know it needed it. I also changed the title of the Avatar Contest thread ( The thread is located H E R E ) to possibly attract more customers... I saw a contest with a fee of 1k get more looks than our little contest has. Anyway, I'm trying to keep it bumped up, all the while bumping my OWN quest thread and others to get gold. Who knew Gaia was such a gold-driven forum?
February.16.2005
Eh, not so great day today... to top it all off, my thread subscription isn't working so I have to find my threads the hard way. Not fun at all. No new customers at the contest... but I'm moving along with the Lotto. Still debating on a few things, but I'll figure those out when the time comes. The need for a pretty lotto thread CONSUMES me... ninja

GrantOrg and Lord Shishio Dedications. GrantOrg, first opened on Mar 21, 2004, was a unique and valuable asset to the Writing Contests sub-forum.
Dedicated to awarding Grants to Contest Hosts and hosting their own, GrantOrg served the Gaian community for over a year. When we found ourselves in a position to continue what they had started, we got in touch with various people who helped us greatly along. clarion, Bane is on Fire, Have Your Pi, and Penden to name a few.
The GrantOrg Staff included:
Bane is on Fire!
nyx-thanato (and .clothos and burnt toast crumbs)
Jaimai40
GrantOrg was generous, helpful, and a great support to the community. They will never be forgotten. Many of us remember them well, and miss them sorely. They live on here, through us.
The GrantOrg thread is still online H E R E, and they were kind enough to link to us from there. Do go and take a look at their history.
We hold their trust dear, and dedicate ourselves to carrying their torch for as long as it may burn!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Lord Shishio was an avid supporter of GrantOrg, and then the WW&CCF. Not only was he generous, he was there for support and encouragement when we needed him the most. Always in good spirits, always a pleasure, and always free with advice, and donations, he became a friend so easily... and died too soon. We mourn his loss to this day... and always will.
Not only did he donate, advise, comfort, support, and encourage us along our first tenuous months, he promotoed our cause and generated many other donations and put us in touch with many friends and resources.
Smile on us Brian... dry our tears.
