The Ignyte Awards usually cost about $3000 a year to operate. This includes trophy production (~$1500) for all finalists and winners as well as their commemorative cards (~$360), shipping trophies to them anywhere in the world (~$600), honorarium for the host (~$400), and occasionally funding for the ceremony platform (Airmeet, variable). This year, we’ll need your help to expand the team beyond the two very over-worked people who run it, and we’d like to offer honoraria ($400/person) to the support staff we bring on board.

In order to offset costs to keep the awards going without having to reach into coffers for FIYAH Literary Magazine, we do accept donations. The Ignytes do not require memberships or registrations in order to participate in voting or to attend or watch the ceremony. Any funds not used by the current year’s awards will be rolled over to the following year. We appreciate your help!

Any donations received now will be put toward the 2024 Awards.
