Hello out there,
we are the 2014 Urban Legends Poetry Slam Team. A lovable ragamuffin crew of Ottawa Spoken Word Artists selected via competition to represent the good old 613 at the 2014 Canadian Festival of Spoken Word in Victoria. The main event at the Festival is the Spoken Word Poetry Slam Team Nationals held annually at a different city across Canada. Each of us has put in multiple years of work and dedication to get to this point.
The most important thing for a donor to realize is that for us Poetry isn't a hobby it is a way of life. The opportunity to compete, never mind win a National Championship opens so many poetry related doors which may have otherwise stayed closed. It also gives us an opportunity to represent our city on a Nationwide level, and showcase the diversity of the voices within its arts scene. This campaign, will cover just a fraction of the costs required to fly the Team from Ottawa to Victoria, never mind the price for lodging, food and other expenses.
The cost for plane tickets alone is almost $3000, the price of our stay is close to 2000 and the cost of team merchandise and personal expenses raises the total funds needed to around $6000. Currently we have almost half of that. This campaign is just one small step in what is truly a communal effort. We appreciate any support, no amount too large or small in helping us represent Ottawa, and bringing support and recognition to the city and the vibrant arts community.
In return for your support we are excited to share our art with you via the various perks offered for different levels of support. Once again there is no contribution too small, or too big. We would love to exceed these campaign goals as this is only one step in a larger fundraising process. Every dollar raised will go to help this team reach Victoria and compete to bring the National Championship back to Ottawa.
If you are unable to contribute we would appreciate any help you could give us by word of mouth, and/or by sharing with your social media circles. Much love to those who took the time to read this and thank you in advance for your generosity.
