Support Creative People Online
A new business model is evolving online, called “crowdfunding” or “cyberfunded creativity.” Â It makes a connection between writers, artists, etc. and their audience members — cutting out the middlemen and directing funds to the people who do the hard work of creating cultural material. Â Now there is an award that honors excellence in cyberfunded creativity, and the Rose and Bay Award has just opened for nominations.
