The Donation Derby is a fundraising competition between NaNoWriMo Regions that began in 2009. It is run by staff member Emily Bristow.

Contests

There are two separate contests within the Donation Derby - highest total donations and biggest change in the average donations per wrimo.

Regions

Regions are assigned based on the number of active WriMos from the year prior who posted a wordcount. The regions are subject to change on a yearly basis - both because of an increase in the number of particpants in a region, and because NaNoWriMo Staff tries to keep each region relatively balanced. For 2011, the regions are

  • League 1: Kodiak Bears = 400 homed+active and higher
  • League 2: Siberian Tigers = 200-399 homed+active
  • League 3: Komodo Dragons = 115-199 homed+active
  • League 4: Wolverines = 55-114 homed+active
  • League 5: Tasmanian Devils = 1-54 homed+active
  • League 6: Badgers = regions that made no donations in the previous year, new regions, and all parts of a region that split into two or more regions.

Prizes

Each winning region receives:

  • A personalized web badge to decorate blogs and regional websites
  • A personal email from Headquarters
  • Their region name on a plaque/trophy at HQ, plus photographic evidence of same.
  • Public acknowledgment on the site
