It's hard to believe that it's been five years since John Seed breathed life into a little concept he liked to call EBSQ. And harder for me to believe that it's been four years since he passed the yoke along to me. Looking back at where we've been, the journey has been extraordinary! We've gone from a hand-full of artists selling on eBay to 1800+ international established and emerging artists, representing all styles and media!
And so, we're asking you to help us celebrate our 5th Anniversary in style! We're introducing the 'SQewy Awards, which give us the chance to recognize both the talent and diversity of our outstanding membership. Check our live journal page daily throughout the month of September for your chance to nominate artists in various media/genres. We'll be doing a different poll daily through the end of the month. In October, we'll be announcing 5 nominees for each category. In November/December, both members and patrons will have the opportunity to vote. And we'll be announcing the 2005 winners in the January 2006 issue of the EBSQ Zine!
If you haven't had the chance yet, please stop by the newest version of our online forums to say hello! Simply sign in with your main-site user name and password. Not only is this a great place to catch up on the latest news and grab tech support for the site, we now have a much more robust system in place for media/genre specific topics as well as a seriously enlarged marketing section. Enjoy!
