Poetryzine Magazine presents the call for proposals for the First Digital Poetry Expo, organised and curated by Versopolis, a European platform for international poetry festivals
Poetry Expo is the world’s first digital fair completely dedicated to poetry, human creativity and literature, designed to showcase the achievements of different nations, cultures and languages, connecting artist from all around the globe, working towards a change both in art and society at large, while offering you a space to present and share your ideas with the global community. Poetry Expo wishes to create a space for free expression and creativity, and share collective and individual best practices and accomplishments in culture and literature. With five digital pavilions focused on the subthemes of opportunity, sustainability, human and artificial creativity, future prospects and connect not divide, we invite the global art and culture community to pitch their projects related to the above subthemes, and indeed other works that may not fit the subthemes, but can reach and move audiences, raise awareness and mobilise.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE? Literary institutions, organisations, collectives or associations, festivals, arts and culture media and anyone else who feels they are in the position to contribute. Each applicant may pitch one or several projects. Individual artists are requested to contact us before submitting. HOW CAN YOU CONTRIBUTE? Get in touch and share your ideas with us! You can showcase your project or participate in online events of any genre. Join our festival with your past or recent works, or produce something new especially for us. Video and audio content should not exceed 60 minutes and should be uploaded to either YouTube, Vimeo or other platforms. The language of the project is English, whereas the contributions can be in any language. They should, nevertheless, be subtitled or accompanied by an abstract in English. WHAT ABOUT PAYMENT? This is a not-for-profit project, and it does not offer honoraria to contributors. There is, however, limited funding for English translations and new co-operation ideas. Our main goal is to make your contribution visible and recognised all over the globe. Get in touch as soon as possible to discuss your ideas. Contact: Aljaž Koprivnikar: poetryexpo@versopolis.com
