Re: Punctuation
I have never seen these lists, and I would presume they would have been updated since 2009. I will see if I can get access and put links to them in future magazines.

Re: Punctuation
No good crawling Glenda !
Never keep magazines Neil they were meant to share and if it gets one kid or adult interested in Bush poetry then it is worth it.
Anyone who has any old copies that they want to get rid of please pm me for postage details as I have run out and have three school groups in over the next two weeks.

Re: Punctuation
umm Dave,
you apply it externally you don't drink it.
Shake well every time before use because it separates.

Re: Punctuation
Good on you Maureen. I was only joking. I wish more people would recycle the magazines to others instead of stashing them in a box. It is a great thing to share them. I only hope, from being editor at present, that I have made them to be worth sharing!
Merry Christmas

Re: Punctuation
Getting back to judges, some small comps simply can't afford to pay a judge,
so poets from within the group are called upon (often reluctantly) to be the judge.

Re: Punctuation
Hey Terry. If your event has a teaching component (workshop etc) you can get Arts Funding...especially regional arts via the RADF. Also the Casinos are obliged to fund similarly. Jupiters funded a community group who engaged me to teach 'Expressive Communication'' once a week, for about 5 weeks from memory. I always remember how Neil Hulm from the Victorian mob hounded every business on his beat for sponsorship. Many of them gave only $20, but he had so many small amounts that they added up and funded the event.
No one in their right mind would judge poetry for financial gain. It is a most time consuming thing requiring much concentration.....especially if critiques are required. I do it because I love the craft and the poets, and want to see them advance. (Our fee helps buy a wine or two to come back to earth when it's finally completed. )
I hope this helps.

Re: Punctuation
There's a 2009 version of the rules for ABPA written and performance competitions at: http://bushfestival.com.au/wordpress/wp ... _Rules.pdf
It has a link to the list of approved judges for written competitions, but it goes nowhere.
I have a photocopy of that list as at June 1, 2009. It was published in the June/July issue of the magazine. It contains 16 names, but is clearly out of date and Kym and I are the only residents of this website on it.
The biggest problem with judging comes, in an extension of Terry's comment, when organisers ask a local 'celebrity' to do it...a radio announcer, the mayor's wife, the president of the golf club etc. etc. They're chosen for their status in the community, to add some PR to the event, not because they've got the faintest clue about poetry. That's when you get some really weird results.
Everybody who's serious about written competitions should have to judge at least one...100+ entries, with instructions to pick the top five, in order. It's the only way to gain any perspective on the range of material submitted and the time involved.
