IAP Collection, Curator
My apologies, the first poll was set up incorrectly, so please take a minute and vote for one contest. The top three will be designated IAP Collection eligible.
Hi folks, this IS NOT a "test poll." So your vote is important.
Additions to the IAP Pen Collection, are limited, and one of the primary avenues is the annual BASH Contests in February.
Previously, I (with guidance/suggestions) from the IAP command center have identified several contests to be "IAP Collection Eligible." This simply means that for several contests, the winner of the contest has the OPTION to donate his/her pen to the collection. If they decline, the option is extended to the runner-up.
This is only an option, with no expectation of a donation. Many have donated pens, others have not - and this is they way it should be.
However, this year I would like the IAP membership to decide which contests this option is extended to. Let's limit it to the top three contests by way of a vote.
(Looking towards next year, I will make another poll in a few months to consider having a seperate dedicated contest within the BASH and/or Summer Extravaganza for the IAP Collection. That way no one will enter unless they are already comfortable donating a pen; we could then allow the top 2-3 pens to be added to the collection. But that will be put to a vote in a few months).
So please vote, and feedback is welcomed. This Collection is the property of IAP, so it represents you.
Soon to be announced: The IAP Collection will be displayed at three AAW Chapters in NJ/DEL and the 2019 MPG in 2019. It is getting around.
